Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to a medical electrolyzed water production device that produces acidic water and alkaline water by electrolyzing water.

Medical electrolyzed water production equipment is a device that produces alkaline water that contains a large amount of calcium ions and has excellent medical effects, and acidic water that is used for symptomatic treatment. It is known that an unglazed diaphragm is used as an electrolytic diaphragm to separate the cathode chamber from the cathode chamber.

However, products using such unglazed diaphragms have the drawbacks of being fragile, difficult to handle, unsanitary for medical use since they are used for a relatively long period of time, and expensive. Ta.

This invention was devised to eliminate these drawbacks, and the purpose is to provide a medical electrolyzed water production device in which the electrolytic diaphragm is easy to handle, hygienic, and cost-effective. .

An embodiment of this invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In Fig. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a main body of the device, which is provided with an operation switch 2, a timer setting knob 3, an electrolytic control knob 4, and an ammeter 5 on one short side, and a cup mounting portion 6 protruding from the lower end of one long side. A control circuit is housed within this device body 1. A water tank 7 is formed at the top of the device main body 1. The water tank 7 has a pair of insoluble concave packing materials 8 and 9 bonded to a predetermined position inside the long side thereof with their concave portions facing each other, and the packing materials 8 and 9
A plate-shaped electrolytic diaphragm 10 is inserted into the recess of the anode chamber 1.
1 and a cathode chamber 12. As shown in FIG. 2, the electrolytic diaphragm 10 includes a pair of insoluble panels 14, 15 having a plurality of through holes 13, 13... on the front and back surfaces, with the through holes 13, 13 facing each other, It is formed by inserting, for example, a porous paper 17 having a mesh size of about 3μ into the gap between an insoluble punch panel 16 which is fixed at the upper end with a certain gap. A faucet 18 for discharging acidic water located on the anode chamber 11 side and a faucet 19 for discharging alkaline water located on the cathode chamber 12 side are installed below one long side of the water tank 7, respectively.
An electrode outlet 20 is provided on the other long side of the water tank 7.
is installed. A cup 2 is placed on the cup mounting portion 6 located below each of the faucets 18 and 19.
1 and 22 are respectively placed. A slit-shaped through hole 23 is opened at a portion of the cup holder 6 where the cups 21 and 22 are placed, so that the drain from the cups 21 and 22 can pass therethrough. The cup mounting portion 6 is provided with a drawer-type drain tray 24 for receiving the drain that has passed through the through hole 23. Said water tank 7
A lid 28 is attached to the top of the lid 28, which has an anode 25 and a cathode 26 disposed on its surface and an electrode plug 27 connected to the electrode outlet 20 on its side. One ends of carbon rods 29 and 30 are bonded to the anode 25 and one end of a carbon rod 31 is bonded to the cathode 26 to the lid 28.
When attached to the water tank 7, the carbon rod 29,
30 is in the anode chamber 11, and the carbon rod 31 is in the cathode chamber 1.
It is designed to be inserted into 2. Incidentally, it goes without saying that each of the electrodes 25 and 26 is electrically connected to the electrode plug 27.

In such an embodiment device, there is no PH in the water tank 7.
I poured tap water with a pH of 6.8 and electrolyzed it for 10 minutes at an electrode current of 0.28 amperes and an electrode voltage of 67 volts, and as a result I was able to obtain alkaline water with a pH of 9.2. In addition, in order to compare with conventional unglazed diaphragms, alkaline water with a pH of approximately 9.5 was generated in the cathode chambers of the conventional device and this device, and then the devices were stopped and left to stand. As shown in the graph in Figure 3, the results of this device were as follows. Compared to the conventional device (graph), the decreasing trend of the PH concentration remained almost unchanged for about 5 minutes. This means that if the alkaline water produced is transferred to another container immediately after electrolysis is completed, alkaline water with a high PH concentration equivalent to that obtained when using an unglazed diaphragm can be obtained. Since this apparatus uses relatively inexpensive paper 17, it is possible to reduce costs. Furthermore, since the paper 17 is used, it is easy to use and pick up, which is excellent in terms of hygiene, and there is no fear of it breaking even if dropped, making it easy to handle. Therefore, it is most suitable for medical use, which requires strict hygiene and handling. Also, since it can be used and picked up, there is no need to worry about cleaning it. Furthermore, since paper 17 is used, the fourth
As shown in the figure, the height can be easily changed by cutting the paper 17 with scissors or the like. Therefore, if the height of the paper 17 is adjusted so that the surface of the alkaline water to be generated is higher than the surface of the acidic water to be generated, the excess alkaline water can be removed from the paper 17.
, and flows into the anode chamber 12, making it easy to generate a predetermined amount of alkaline water.

Next, another embodiment of this invention will be described with reference to the drawings. It should be noted that the same parts as in the above embodiment are given the same reference numerals and detailed explanations will be omitted.

The one shown in FIG. 5 uses packing materials 32 and 33 in which a plurality of concave portions are formed as insoluble concave packing materials.
The volumes of the anode chamber 11 and the cathode chamber 12 can be easily changed depending on which recess the anode chamber 11 and the cathode chamber 12 are inserted into. It goes without saying that this embodiment also provides the same effects as those of the previous embodiment.

The electrolytic diaphragm 34 shown in FIGS. 6 and 7 uses a cylindrical electrolytic diaphragm 34, and this electrolytic diaphragm 34 has a pair of cylindrical insoluble panels 35, 36 with slightly different diameters in a water tank 7. A cylindrical porous paper 38 is inserted into a concave groove of a disc-shaped packing material 37 formed on the bottom surface, and inserted into a space between the panels 35 and 36. The inner side surrounded by the electrolytic diaphragm 34 is the cathode chamber 12, and the outer side is the anode chamber 11. In this case, the alkaline water discharge faucet 19 is connected to the cathode chamber 12.
is communicated with.

Of course, this embodiment also provides the same effects as those of the previous embodiment.

In the above embodiments, the electrolytic diaphragm was described in which a plurality of through holes were formed in an insoluble punch panel, but the invention is not limited to this. It may be something that is provided.

As detailed above, according to this invention, a water tank is divided into an anode chamber and a cathode chamber by an electrolytic diaphragm, and by electrolyzing water, acidic water is generated in the anode chamber, and acidic water is generated in the cathode chamber. is a medical electrolyzed water production device that generates alkaline water, and the electrolytic diaphragm is formed by inserting the electrolytic diaphragm between a pair of insoluble punch panels that have penetrating portions that can penetrate the front and back surfaces of porous paper facing each other. This makes it easy to handle the electrolytic diaphragm.
It is possible to provide a medical electrolyzed water production device that is excellent in hygiene and reduces costs.
