Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Technical Field of the Invention) This invention relates to a water quality improvement tool that improves the water quality by magnetizing liquid such as water flowing through a pipe.

(Background of the invention) This type of water quality improvement device is currently in practical use, and is applied to the water supply systems of each household. However, this product has a structure that cannot be installed directly onto existing water pipes, so when installing the water quality improvement device, it is necessary to remove the water pipe or pull out the hose from the faucet. There were some problems such as not being able to do so.

(Purpose of the invention) The purpose of this invention is to solve the above problem, and the purpose is to provide a new water quality improvement device that can be easily installed into existing water pipes without requiring special construction. shall be.

(Structure and effect of the invention) In order to achieve the above object, in this invention, a yoke is arranged inside each of the pair of semi-cylindrical case bodies, a magnetic pole array is formed inside each yoke, and each case body The butting edge is provided with a pivoting part so that the other edge can be opened and closed, and inside the magnetic pole array,
The pipe insertion hole is formed with the case bodies butted together.

According to this invention, the water quality improvement device can be installed extremely easily on the outside of existing piping without requiring any special construction work, making it possible to greatly simplify installation work and reduce construction costs. .

In addition, the water quality improvement device of this invention has a magnetic pole array formed inside the yoke to suppress the leakage of magnetic lines of force to the outside of the case, and has achieved the purpose of the invention, such as preventing adverse effects on watches and other electronic devices. It has practical effects.

(Description of an Embodiment) FIGS. 1 and 2 show a state in which a water quality improving device 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention is attached to the outer peripheral surface of a pipe 2 such as a water pipe.

The illustrated water quality improvement device 1 includes a pair of semi-cylindrical bodies 3
A pivot point 4 such as a hinge is attached to the butting edges of A and 3B.
is provided, and the other end is formed to be openable and closable, and
A stopper 5 is provided at the opening/closing edge to maintain the abutting state of the semi-cylindrical bodies 3A, 3B.

Each of the above-mentioned semi-cylindrical bodies 3A, 3B has the same semi-cylindrical shape on the inner surface of the plastic case body 6.
A semi-cylindrical yoke 7 made of a soft ferromagnetic material that conforms to the inner shape of the yoke 7 is fixed with adhesive or the like, and each yoke 7 is
A magnetic pole array 8 is formed inside. The magnetic pole array 8 in the illustrated example is formed by arranging a plurality of permanent magnets 9 in two rows along the length direction along the inner surface shape of the yoke 7, and each permanent magnet 9 has magnetic poles on its inner and outer surfaces. At the same time, the magnetic pole arrangement is devised so that lines of magnetic force (indicated by dotted lines in FIG. 1) emitted from the inner magnetic poles pass through the inner hole of the pipe 2 and reach the permanent magnets 9 adjacent in the length direction. That is, in the illustrated example, the four rows of permanent magnets 9 have their inner magnetic poles arranged in the order of N, S, S, N, N, S, . . . from the left in FIG.

A pipe insertion hole 10 is formed inside each magnetic pole array 8 to fit the shape of the pipe 2 when the semi-cylindrical bodies 3A, 3B are closed. When attached to the outer peripheral surface of the pipe 2, by interposing the elastic packing 11 inside thereof, the adhesion of the water quality improvement tool 1 to the pipe 2 is improved.

Further, in this embodiment, when the water quality improving device 1 is attached, the semi-cylindrical body 3
The force that holds A and 3B in the closed state is increased. As shown in FIG. 3, the inner surface of the cap 12 and the outer surface of the case body 6 are formed with a protrusion 13 on one side and a recess 14 on the other side, and when these are engaged, the cap 12 and the case body 6 are connected. The bond with 6 becomes strong.

Figures 5 and 6 show other embodiments of this invention.

The illustrated water quality improving device 1 is formed by opening and closing a pair of semi-cylindrical bodies 3A and 3B butted against each other, as in the first embodiment, and each semi-cylindrical case body 6 is made of plastic. A semi-cylindrical yoke 7 made of soft ferromagnetic material that conforms to the shape of the inner surface is fixed to the inner surface with adhesive or the like, and further inside each yoke 7,
Anisotropic plastic permanent magnets 15 having a length corresponding to the case body 6 are arranged to form a magnetic pole array. Each permanent magnet 15 is magnetized so that N and S magnetic poles are generated alternately at a constant pitch in the length direction, and as shown in FIG. (indicated by a dotted line in Fig. 5) reaches the S magnetic poles on both sides adjacent to each other in the length direction through the inner hole of the pipe 2. In this embodiment, since the magnetic pole array is formed by the integrated permanent magnet 15, the structure is simplified compared to the first embodiment, reducing assembly man-hours and improving assembly efficiency. There are advantages.

However, the water quality improvement tool 1 of this invention, the stopper 5
Remove and open it, and in this state cover the outer circumferential surface of the pipe 2, such as a water pipe, from both sides (see Figure 4). The water quality improving device 1 is fixed on the pipe 2 by closing the space between the latter half cylindrical bodies 3A and 3B, stopping the stopper 5, and fitting the cap 12 as necessary. In this state, the lines of magnetic force emitted from the N magnetic pole in the magnetic pole array pass through the inner hole of pipe 2 and reach the adjacent S magnetic pole, and the water flowing through pipe 2 is magnetized by these lines of magnetic force. . In this case, since the outside of each permanent magnet 9, 15 is surrounded by the yoke 7, the lines of magnetic force emitted outward from the outer surface of the permanent magnets 9, 15 flow inside the yoke 7, causing the case It does not leak out of the body 6, and adverse effects on watches and other electronic devices are prevented.
