Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to a pot-type electrolyzer for drinking water that includes an electric control unit in the lid.

This type of electrolysis device is convenient in that it can be used by pouring out water as needed after electrolysis, just like a water jug, but electrolysis can be carried out without blocking the spout. If the container falls over for some reason, there is a risk of electric shock to the user due to the water overflowing from the spout.

For this reason, the electrical control unit must have a complicated structure, such as providing a safety switch that cuts off the electrolysis circuit when the container falls over.

This idea does not use a safety switch, but has an organic relationship between the pulp mechanism that closes the spout and the outlet connection to the electrical control unit, so that the pulp mechanism is always in the closed state when the electricity is on. The present invention is intended to provide a pot-type electrolyzer for drinking water that is improved in such a way that the electrolyzer can be used for drinking water.

This invention will be explained in detail below based on the illustrated embodiments.

In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a container made of synthetic resin, and an annular jetty 2 is formed on the inner bottom of the container to provide a button.
A handle 3 is provided on the outside.

A negative electrode 4 made of an annular metal plate is attached to the inner wall surface of the container 1, and a negative electrode 4 is formed in a part thereof to extend toward the upper edge of the container 1. .

A cylindrical porous partition wall with a bottom, for example, an unglazed partition wall 6 is inserted into the container 1, and its bottom portion is seated inside the jetty 2.

A screw 7 is formed in the upper opening of the container 1, and a screw portion 11 of the lid 10 is screwed onto the screw 7, and is fitted into the opening.

The lid 10 has a backing 1 attached to the base of the screw portion 110.
2 and when the screw part 11 is screwed into the screw 7,
It is designed so that it can be attached to the container 1 in a liquid-tight manner.

The lid 10 is hollow and has a button with a screw hole 13 opened at the center bottom, into which a screw cap 15 attached to a positive electrode 14 made of a carbon rod is screwed.

A flange 16 is formed on the cap 15, and a backing 8 is attached to the backing 8, so that when the cap 15 is screwed into the screw hole 13, it is attached to the lid body 10 in a liquid-tight manner. It looks like this.

A connection terminal 17 made of a U-shaped spring and electrically connected to the positive electrode 14 is attached to the top of the cap 15 .

Furthermore, an opening 18 is formed at the top of the lid 10, and a triangular knob 19 faces out.

This knob 19 is integrally formed at the top of an operator 20 rotatably installed in the lid 10, and the operator 20 is made of a hollow synthetic resin having a sealed electric chamber 21. It is the body.

A positive electrode terminal 22 is provided at the center of the bottom of the operator 20, and is brought into elastic contact with the contact terminal 17.

One side of the electrical outlet, that is, an outlet body 24 having an insertion plug 23 is installed in the electrical room 21, and a connection opening 25 is formed on the surface of the operator 200 corresponding to the connection end thereof. ing.

Furthermore, an opening 2.6 is formed on the circumferential surface of the lid 10 at a position corresponding to the opening 25.

A gate 27 is attached to the lid 10 between the openings 25 and 260.

This gate 27 has an elastic arm 28 and is adapted to close the opening 26, and the gate 27 is provided with legs 29, which are connected to the container 1.
A protrusion 30 formed on the upper edge of the holder allows it to be pushed upward.

Further, at the bottom of the lid body 10, an annular seat 31 is formed at the top edge of the partition wall 6, and a backing 32 is formed here.
is attached, and when the lid body 10 is attached to the container 1, the partition wall 6 is supported liquid-tightly, and the anode chamber 33 and the cathode chamber 34 are separated by the partition wall 6.
It is divided into inside and outside.

A spout 35 is formed on one side of the lid 10, and communication holes 36 are formed inside and outside the annular seat 31 in correspondence with the spout 35.
A button 37 is formed on the bottom plate of the lid body 10.

A valve plate 38 of the valve mechanism is integrally formed with the operator 20 so as to cover the communication holes 36 and 37.

Valve ports 39 and 40 are opened in the valve plate 38 in correspondence with the communication holes 36 and 37, respectively.

The opening positions are mutually displaced with respect to the rotation direction of the operator 200.

Note that, if necessary, the valve plate 38 is pressed against the bottom plate of the lid 10 by a coil spring 41 provided on the lid 10 so that the communication holes 36 and 37 can be completely shut off from the spout 35. It's Nishide.

Furthermore, in the figure, reference numeral 42 denotes a lead terminal provided on the lid 10, and when the lid 10 is screwed onto the container 1, it comes into contact with the lead 5 and can create electrical continuity.

In such a configuration, water is first poured into the inside and outside of the partition wall 6 with the lid 10 unscrewed from the container 1.

In this state, since the gate 27 closes the opening 26, the outlet cannot be connected.

Next, when the lid body 10 is screwed onto the container 1, the protrusions 30
9 is pushed up, the gate 27 rises against the elastic arm 28 and opens the opening 26.

Next, when the operator 20 is rotated with the valve plate 38 in the state 1 in which the communication holes 36 and 37 are closed, the opening 25 becomes the opening 2.
6, and the connection to the outlet can be achieved.

Therefore, electrolysis can be performed only when the water inside the spout 35 is not drained out.

After electrolysis is complete, by disconnecting the electrical outlet,
For the first time, the valve plate 38 becomes rotatable.

Therefore, first, the communication hole 36 is communicated with the valve port 39, and the acidic water in the anode chamber 33 is discharged to the outside from the spout 35.

After this, rotate the valve plate 38 to connect the communication hole 37 to the valve port 40.
If appropriate, alkaline ionized water can be taken out from the cathode chamber 34 through the spout 35, and the cathode chamber 34 can be used as a storage pot for drinking water.

In this embodiment, a cylindrical unglazed container with a bottom is used as the partition wall, but it goes without saying that an unglazed cylinder with an open bottom and fixed inside the container with an appropriate fixture may also be used.

As described in detail above, this invention consists of attaching a lid having a spout in a liquid-tight manner in a removable manner to a container body having an electrolytic chamber, and also connecting the spout and each electrode chamber of the electrolytic chamber. It is equipped with a pulp mechanism that controls the valve mechanism, and an operator of the valve mechanism,
The outlet connection to the outlet is controlled while the pulp mechanism is controlled to restrict the outlet for the electrical control unit provided in the lid and to cut off the flow from each of the electrode chambers to the spout. Since the above-mentioned control element is configured in such a way that there is no need to provide a conventional safety switch that works in the event of a fall, the water inside the container will not leak out when the electricity is on, and electrical safety is ensured. Can be secured.

In addition, due to this structure, even though it is a pot-shaped electrolyzer with a spout, all the electrical mechanisms can be housed inside the lid, making it easy to clean the container. ○ Can have practical effects
