Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain alkali water without using a power source by housing a filter packed with the solid basic substance contg. Mg or MgO into a retention vessel in providing the clearances. CONSTITUTION:A filter 7 packed with the solid basic substance 6 contg. Mg or MgO is housed into a retention vessel 8 in providing the clearances. By this constitution, alkali water can be obtained without using a power source. There is no dirt in water and the elevation of pH is maximumly reached to 10 and water can be made to weak alkalinity. Furthermore since the chemical reaction is mild, the daily dissolving quantity of Mg or MgO is remarkably slight and it can be used for a long period and the formation of residue such as magnesium hydroxide is little and the handling is easy.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a simple alkaline water maker for general household use.

Conventionally, this kind of alkaline water making device has the structure shown in FIG. An anode insoluble electrode 4 and a cathode insoluble electrode 5 are arranged in each retention tank. When a DC voltage is applied to this insoluble electrode, cations such as sodium ions and calcium ions migrate to the insoluble electrode 5 of the cathode, and this kind of alkaline water maker in the past requires constant use of a power source. There is a need for a simple type of alkaline water making device that does not require the use of water.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve this object, a filter filled with a solid basic substance containing magnesium or magnesium oxide is stored in a retention tank.

Function: With this configuration, alkaline water can be obtained without using a power source. Furthermore, since a compound of magnesium or magnesium oxide is used as the solid basic substance, there is no water contamination and the pH increases to a maximum of 10, making it slightly alkaline. Furthermore, since the chemical reaction is mellow, the amount of daily dissolution is negligible and it can be used for a long period of time, and it is easy to handle with little generation of residual liquid such as magnesium hydroxide.

Embodiments Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below. FIG. 1 is a sectional view of an alkaline water maker according to an embodiment of the present invention, in which a filter 7 filled with a solid basic substance 6 containing magnesium or magnesium oxide is arranged in a retention tank 8. The alkaline water maker consists of a whistle part 9, a lid part 10, and a pouring part 11, and the whistle part 9 is an integrally molded product and forms a retention tank 8.

FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along line AA' of the filter 7 shown in FIG. 1, and the filter 7 consists of frames f3a and 13b. Third
The figure is an exploded view of the filter 7, in which an image-shaped basic substance 6 is filled between the frames 13b and 13a to which the fibrous body 14 is pasted. The fibrous body 14, which is the main constituent component of the filter 7, has micropores 14' only in the upper part.

FIG. 4 shows another embodiment of the filter, in which solid basic substance 6 is filled between fiber bodies 16, and micropores 1
5 is provided only at the top.

The filter fibers are made of chemical fibers such as vinylon, nylon, vinylidene, vinyl chloride, polyester, polyethylene, polypropylene, etc., and are used in the form of nonwoven fabrics, bags, etc. Further, polyethylene, polypropylene, vinyl chloride, acrylic resin, ABS resin, etc. may also be used.

The whistle, lid, and spout of an alkaline water maker are made of plastic, and polyethylene, polypropylene, vinyl chloride, acrylic resin, ABS resin, etc. are optimal.

The solid basic substance is optimally in the form of granules, lumps, or ribbons.

The effects of the embodiment will be explained. 11 residence tanks (0
A solid basic substance 2 is placed in an alkaline water maker made of ABS resin (the configuration is as shown in Figure 1) with
A filter filled with 00y was set up and city water (pH 7) was injected into the filter. The results of measuring the liquid properties of the water that remained in the retention tank after 6 hours are shown in the table. In addition, the solid basic substance is 4X4X4
Fino?, which uses granular products of mm size and has a nonwoven fabric made of nylon fiber attached to a frame made of ABS resin. Tar 90X90X3
The inside between 0 is filled.

Effects of the Invention As described above, the alkaline water maker of the present invention has a structure in which a filter filled with a solid basic substance containing magnesium or magnesium oxide is stored in a retention tank with a gap provided (1 ) Water is clean and has a pH of up to 1
0 and weakly alkaline water can be easily obtained without applying voltage.

(2) Since the chemical reaction is mellow, the amount of daily dissolution is very small and it can be used for a long time. Furthermore, it is easy to handle with little generation of residues such as magnesium hydroxide.

(3) Even if the solid basic substance is used up, alkaline water can be easily obtained again by simply replacing the filter.

(4) Alkaline water has medical effects and is effective against indigestion, hyperacidity, chronic diarrhea, abnormal fermentation in the gastrointestinal tract, etc. In addition, it has the following advantages: rice does not rot, vegetables do not lose their freshness, liver odor is removed, vegetables are removed, and water and coffee are delicious.
