Abstract

PURPOSE:To efficiently elute a mineral component in hot water, by incorporating a filter in a hot water recirculation system along with a mineralizing apparatus for eluting the mineral component. CONSTITUTION:Hot water flows in an activation chamber 35 from an inflow port 38 through a conduit 50 and flows to an outflow port 39 along a flow passage 37. At this time, the hot water passes through the water channels formed by the activators 40, 40 allowed to fill the activation chamber 35. These water channels are demarcated by the spherical surfaces of the activators 40, 40 and the hot water is efficiently brought into contact with the surfaces of the activators to effectively elute the mineral components contained in the activators. By this method, the purified and activated hot water can be effectively utilized.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention (Industrial Application Field) The present invention can be incorporated into a hot water circulation system that circulates dry water in baths, single-spring hot water pools, etc., to remove various floating substances in dry water in baths, hot springs, hot water pools, etc. The cleaning action that removes water and the mineralization action that elutes mineral components that have a beneficial effect on the body into hot water can be used together depending on the purpose, or each can be used independently. This relates to hot water filtration and mineralization equipment that is highly adaptable to the system.

(Prior Art) In baths, hot springs, hot water pools, etc., it is widely practiced to circulate dry water while purifying it in order to effectively utilize the used dry water. If the purpose was simply to purify water, it would be sufficient to insert a filter into the circulation system. In addition, like hot springs, mineral components (+
, neral components), mineral components are actively added or eluted into the hot water in order to compensate for the decrease in the concentration of mineral components due to filtration or reuse.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) A filter for purifying water and a mineralizing device for eluting mineral components into water have existed independently, but when they are used together, it is necessary to use them in baths, hot springs, etc. It was inconvenient to use because it was not compatible with the hot water circulation system, and the installation location and conditions were not adaptable.

In addition, conventional mineral water conversion equipment does not efficiently elute mineral components into hot water, and most of them place a heavy burden on the circulating drive source.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Therefore, an object of the present invention is to incorporate a filter that purifies water with good adaptability to hot water circulation systems such as baths and hot springs, and a mineralizing device that elutes mineral components into water, and that is suitable for use. It can be used separately and independently,
Moreover, it is an object of the present invention to provide a hot water filtration and mineralization device that can efficiently dissolve mineral components during drought.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above object, the hot water filtration and mineralization apparatus according to the present invention has a hot water supply port and a hot water discharge port for introducing and discharging hot water, and these hot water supply ports and discharge ports a filtration tank in which a filtration member is interposed between the hot water inlet and the hot water introduced from the hot water supply port to be cleaned by the filtration member and discharged from the hot water outlet; has
an activation tank filled with a spherical active substance containing a water-soluble mineral component, and in which dry water is introduced from the inlet, passes through the active substance, and is discharged from the outlet; and the activation tank are separated from each other, and at least the outlet of the filtration tank and the inlet of the activation tank are connected by a conduit.

(Function) By connecting the hot water supply port of the filtration tank and the outlet of the activation tank to the hot water circulation system of baths, hot springs, hot water pools, etc., it is possible to include a conduit that connects the water outlet of the filtration tank to the inlet of the activation tank. A hot water circulation loop is formed.

Hot water flowing out from a bath or hot spring is first introduced into a filtration tank, where a filtration member effectively removes suspended matter in the water and purifies the water. The hot water that comes out of the filter tank is introduced into the activation tank and flows through the gaps formed by the spherical active bodies. At this time, the water-soluble mineral components contained in the active bodies should be dissolved in the hot water. As a result, the hot water turns into mineral water rich in mineral components that are beneficial to living organisms, and is returned to baths and hot springs.

If the active substances filled in the activation tank are spherical, the water path formed by these active substances is defined by a smooth wall surface made up of spherical surfaces.

Therefore, the hot water flowing through these water paths does not stagnate and flows smoothly without causing turbulence, and moreover, because it comes into contact with the active substances efficiently, the mineral components are leached into the hot water efficiently, and the flow resistance is low. It becomes less.

The filtration tank 10 has a filtration container 12 formed into a container-shaped wall material filled with a heat insulating material 11. The upper opening of the filtration container 12 is closed with a lid 13 to define a sealed space inside. An intermediate plate 14 is stretched over the lower part of this internal space to form an upper filtration chamber 15 and a lower hot water storage chamber 16. In the filtration chamber 15, a filter member 19, which is formed by wrapping a plurality of layers of filter material 18 around the water pipe 17 as a core material, is appropriately disposed. The water pipe 17 has its lower end open to the hot water storage chamber 16, and therefore, the hot water that has passed through the filter material 18 flows into the water pipe 17 and flows out into the hot water storage chamber 16 below.

The circulation pipe A is connected to the filtration tank 10, and the circulation pipe A is guided into the filtration chamber 15, and a hot water supply port 20 is formed at the tip thereof. A baffle member 21 is provided at the hot water supply port 20.
is fitted loosely, so that the hot water flowing out from the hot water supply port 20 is evenly distributed in all directions.

A real-temperature drum 23 having a large number of water passage holes 22 is provided at the bottom of the filtration chamber @812, and the hot water that has flowed into the hot water storage chamber 16 flows into this real-temperature drum 23 and is discharged from the hot water outlet 24. The actual temperature drum 23 is not an essential element of this filter tank, and the drain port may be formed on the bottom surface of the container 12 by omitting it.

Therefore, the hot water supplied from the circulation pipe A to the filtration tank 1o configured as described above flows into the filtration chamber 15 as shown by the arrow, and when passing through the filter material 18, suspended matter in the hot water is removed, and the water flows through the filter chamber 15. It flows down the water pipe 17 and flows out from the hot water storage chamber 16 through the hot water outlet 24.

The activation tank 30 has an activation container 32 formed into a container-shaped wall material filled with a heat insulating material 31. The upper opening of the activation container 32 is closed with a lid 33 to define a sealed space inside.

Further, a heater 52 is provided in a part of the conduit 50 to replenish the temperature of hot water lost in the filtration tank 10 and the activation tank 30. Note that the pump 51 and heater 52 are not essential elements, and their mounting positions are arbitrary.

To explain the operation of the activation tank 30 configured as described above, the dry water fed through the conduit 50 flows into the activation chamber 35 from the inlet 38. Here, hot water flows through a flow path 3 defined by partition plates 36 and 36.
