Description

  The present invention relates to sterilization with hypochlorous acid or chlorous acid in a broad sense, and more specifically, a method for producing sterilizing water containing hypochlorous acid or chlorous acid, a sterilizing raw material package, a sterilizing water producing kit, and a space. The present invention relates to a sterilization method and apparatus.

As one form of easily using the sterilizing liquid, a portable can-containing alcohol diluted sterilizing liquid filled in a can container that is portable with a compressed gas or a liquefied gas has been commercially available. The can is generally provided with a spray nozzle and sprays the internal sterilizing liquid when the spray nozzle is depressed. Therefore, this type of canned sterilization solution is convenient for easy sterilization, but cannot be used for sterilization of food.
On the other hand, sterilization sprays for sterilization with disinfecting alcohol are widely used especially in medical settings including hospitals. However, since disinfecting alcohol causes rough skin, it is not so much welcomed by users, especially female users. Also, sterilization with disinfecting alcohol can lead to the generation of resistant bacteria.
As a sterilization method for solving such a problem, sterilization with hypochlorous acid (HClO) or chlorous acid (HClO ₂ ) is known. This sterilization method has various advantages such as wide range of sterilization targets from viruses to fungi and Bacillus anthracis, an immediate sterilization effect against them, and no generation of resistant bacteria. Particularly, sterilized water containing hypochlorous acid or chlorous acid has an excellent advantage that it does not cause rough skin or allergic reaction if adjusted to a weakly acidic region. The safety of sterilized water containing hypochlorous acid to the human body is evident from the fact that hypochlorous acid is produced in the human body by neutrophils (also called polymorphonuclear leukocytes) and is responsible for sterilization in the body. is there. Therefore, sterilization with hypochlorous acid is considered to be the most desirable method among various currently known sterilization methods from the viewpoint of sterilization ability and harmlessness to the human body.
However, sterilization with hypochlorous acid or chlorous acid has several problems to be solved, and one of the problems is that sterilizing water containing hypochlorous acid loses sterilizing ability over time. . Another problem is the generation of toxic gases depending on the pH level. These issues are described in more detail below.
For example, it is known that hypochlorous acid can exist only as a moderately pH-adjusted aqueous solution of hypochlorite such as sodium hypochlorite. In general, sodium hypochlorite is shipped from manufacturers in an aqueous solution that is typically adjusted to a concentration of 6% or 12%. The sodium hypochlorite aqueous solution in this state is alkaline, and Na, H, O, and Cl, which are constituents of water and hypochlorous acid, are converted into ions of Na ⁺ , H ⁺ , OH ⁻ , and OCl ^−. Contains relatively stably. In this state, the sodium hypochlorite aqueous solution has a weak effect as sterilizing water. When the pH is adjusted to a neutral or weakly acidic region, the sodium hypochlorite aqueous solution can contain hypochlorous acid (HOCl) in a high ratio, and exhibits an effect as HOCl sterilizing water. FIG. 54 is a graph published on page 104 of the book name “Purified water technology” (publisher: Gihodo Publishing Co., Ltd.). FIG. 54 shows that hypochlorite ion OCl ⁻ requires 80 times more time than HOCl (hypochlorous acid) to sterilize 99% of coliforms. In other words, FIG. 54 shows that the sterilizing ability of hypochlorous acid is 80 times that of OCl ⁻ ions.
Therefore, in order to obtain HOCl-rich sterilizing water, it is very important to adjust the pH level of the aqueous sodium hypochlorite solution by adding an acid such as hydrochloric acid. However, if the amount of acid added is excessive, the aqueous sodium hypochlorite solution becomes acidic and generates harmful chlorine gas.
Furthermore, even if this aqueous solution is once adjusted to contain a sufficient amount of hypochlorous acid (HOCl), its pH level is likely to change over time, and hypochlorous acid ( HOCl) cannot maintain its shape for a long time.
That is, an equilibrium relationship represented by the following structural formula exists between the three chemical species Cl ₂ , HOCl, and OCl ⁻ .
Cl ₂ + H ₂ O⇔HCl + HOCl (1)
HOCl⇔H ⁺ + OCl ⁻ (2)
Here, the left side has a low pH level and the right side has a high pH level.
As described above, the abundance ratio of each chemical species is governed by pH. As can be understood from the structural formula (1), the lower the pH, the higher the ratio of chlorine gas (Cl ₂ ). In the weakly acidic region and neutral region, the ratio of hypochlorous acid (HOCl) is high (Structural Formula (1)), and in the alkaline region, hypochlorous acid (HOCl) is decomposed into H ⁺ ions and OCl ⁻ ions, The ratio of OCl ⁻ ions increases (Structural Formula (2)).
Thus, for effective sterilization, it is clear that the use of fresh, HOCl-rich sterilized water that is correctly pH adjusted is desirable, but this is ensured so that the user is not exposed to harmful gases. There must be.
By the way, in a strongly acidic region, sodium hypochlorite generates chlorine gas (Cl ₂ ), while sodium chlorite generates chlorine dioxide gas (ClO ₂ ). Both chlorine gas and chlorine dioxide gas are toxic gases. In particular, chlorine dioxide gas is 10 times more toxic than chlorine gas.
Until now, it was common sense that users should be prohibited from adding acid to sodium hypochlorite. For example, Kao Corporation (Nihonbashi Kayabacho, Chuo-ku, Tokyo, Japan) manufactures and sells bleach sanitizing solutions for kitchens for general consumers under the trade name “Heater” (registered trademark). This disinfectant contains sodium hypochlorite as the main ingredient, but the container contains “Do n’t mix! Danger” and “Dangerous when used with acidic substances, generating chlorine gas”. It is written to alert consumers.
JP-A-2003-34375 proposes a portable sterilization container in the range of common sense described above. This is because sterilized water that can be used as it is, adjusted to pH 4-8 and residual chlorine concentration of 10-2,000 ppm by adding acid such as hydrochloric acid to sodium hypochlorite, together with compressed gas or liquefied gas. It is a can-like container filled in. The can-like container includes a spray nozzle, and sprays the sterilizing liquid by gas pressure when the spray nozzle is pushed down. However, as described above, since the sterilizing power of the adjusted sterilizing water decreases with time, the canned sterilizing water of this prior art uses sterilizing water having sufficient sterilizing power when the user needs it. There is no guarantee that can be made.
From the above, sterilizing water generators for installation on the site to be used are on the market. FIG. 55 shows this conventional sterilizing water generator. This sterilizing water generating apparatus dilutes sodium hypochlorite with water in the first step, while diluting hydrochloric acid with water, and then mixes both dilutions in the second step, thereby reducing the weakly acidic region or It is designed to produce sterilized water in a neutral region and having an effective chlorine concentration of 50 to 200 ppm. This type of sterilizing water generator is useful for obtaining a fresh formulation of the desired sterilizing water when needed. However, these are too expensive for consumers to purchase for their own use. This type of sterilized water generator is currently limited to hospitals and factories that require cleaning and sterilization of large quantities of vegetables and meat, or many machines, tools and instruments. It is only used in a different place.

In the present invention, if the generation of toxic gas can be suppressed, the user may generate sterilizing water by mixing each component (hereinafter, a substance mixed for generating sterilizing water is referred to as “component”). This was devised from the idea of the present inventor. This idea is a bold leap from the common knowledge of those skilled in the art.
The object of the present invention is that no mechanical equipment is required, fresh sterilized water can be easily generated on-site anytime and anywhere, and powerful sterilization with hypochlorous acid or chlorous acid can be performed. An object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing sterilizing water, a sterilizing raw material package, and a sterilizing water producing kit in which the pH level is adjusted to a weakly acidic region or a neutral region.
Another object of the present invention is convenient to carry, suitable for carrying out strong sterilization with hypochlorous acid or chlorous acid at any time and anywhere to easily produce fresh sterilized water on site. It is to provide a sterilizing raw material package.
Another object of the present invention is a sterilizing raw material that can withstand long-term storage and can easily produce fresh sterilized water on-site at any time and anywhere to perform powerful sterilization with hypochlorous acid or chlorous acid. It is to provide a package and a sterilizing water generation kit.
A raw material applicable to the present invention is hypochlorite or chlorite containing sodium hypochlorite, sodium chlorite and calcium hypochlorite as a typical example. For example, sodium hypochlorite is also available in the crystalline state, but is typically 6% (60,000 ppm) or 12% (120,000 ppm) from the manufacturer that produces it. Is provided in the form of an aqueous solution. In addition, calcium hypochlorite is typically provided in powder form from the manufacturer that produces it.
In the description of the present invention, regarding hypochlorous acid salt provided in a liquid state from the manufacturer, the solution state provided by the manufacturer as it is is referred to as “stock solution concentration” or “stock solution”. A solution obtained by further adding water to the “stock solution” to reduce the concentration is called “dilution concentration” or “dilution solution”.
Another raw material applicable to the present invention is an acid such as hydrochloric acid. Other examples of applicable acids include inorganic acids such as sulfuric acid and carbonic acid, and organic acids such as acetic acid. In the following description, the acid having the concentration provided by the manufacturer is referred to as “stock solution”, and the “stock solution” added with water to reduce the concentration is referred to as “dilution concentration”. For example, hydrochloric acid is provided by the manufacturer at a concentration of 36% for industrial use and 10% or less for household use. Therefore, in order to use the concentration available from this manufacturer as it is, it is called “stock solution”, and when the concentration is further reduced by adding water, it is called “dilution concentration”.
According to the first aspect of the present invention, a first container containing hypochlorite (hereinafter referred to as a first component) and a second container containing acid (hereinafter referred to as a second component). In combination with consumers for their own use. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the sterilized water produced by mixing the first and second components in the first and second containers as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 has a pH level in a weakly acidic region or a neutral region, In addition, the first and second components are adjusted so as to have a predetermined effective chlorine concentration.
In one sterilizing water production method, a stock solution or solid (typically powder) or a diluted first component is stored in a first container, and a diluted second component is stored in a second container (FIG. 1). . In another sterilizing water generating method, a first component having a diluted concentration is accommodated in a first container, and a second component having a stock solution or a diluted concentration is accommodated in a second container (FIG. 2).
By mixing the hypochlorous acid salt of the first component and the acid of the second component, the first and second sterilizing water has a pH level in a weakly acidic region or a neutral region. However, if the pH adjustment by the second component (acid) is too sensitive, there is a possibility that chlorine gas may be generated by entering a strongly acidic region. Moreover, when the produced | generated sterilization water is unused for a long period of time, the pH of sterilization water falls, chlorine gas generate | occur | produces and a sterilization effect will fall easily. In order to solve such a problem, it is preferable to add a buffering agent in order to relax the pH adjustment by the second component (acid) (FIGS. 3 to 5). For example, a buffer such as bicarbonate may be added when the first and second components are mixed (FIGS. 3 and 4). As another example, a buffering agent such as bicarbonate may be mixed in advance in the first accommodation space containing the first component (FIG. 5). Examples of bicarbonates typically include sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO ₃ ), but other examples include potassium bicarbonate, calcium bicarbonate, and magnesium bicarbonate.
By adding a buffering agent such as sodium hydrogen carbonate or potassium hydrogen carbonate, pH adjustment by the second component (acid) can be relaxed, and the pH of the sterilizing water can be prevented from entering a strongly acidic region. In addition, since the produced sterilized water contains a buffering agent, it is possible to suppress fluctuations in pH until the produced sterilized water is used up, and the sterilized water can stably maintain a weakly acidic or neutral region, Thereby, the bactericidal effect by hypochlorous acid can be maintained.
Hypochlorite tends to decrease in pH over time. In contrast, acids are stable. Therefore, even if the first component and the second component are individually stored in separate containers, if the container is stored in a warehouse or the like for a long period of time, the first component (sub-a ) Chlorate) may be partly decomposed over time and the pH may drop, and the pH of sterilized water produced by mixing the first and second components was initially planned It can be considered that the pH is lower than the pH. On the other hand, by mixing the first and second components with a buffer such as sodium hydrogen carbonate added, sterilized water in a weakly acidic or neutral region can be stably obtained. Can be guaranteed to consumers. This is extremely important in selling products that contain the first and second components in independent spaces and selling products that allow consumers to perform mixing operations.
Moreover, the sterilizing water containing a buffering agent can suppress the fluctuation | variation of pH, when diluting and using this. In addition, if the water used for dilution is away from neutrality, for example, pH 9 alkaline water, the sterilization water may be changed to the alkali side by dilution. To accommodate this, acid (eg HCl) and buffer (eg sodium bicarbonate) for use in dilution is provided to the user in a container and the user is provided with a manual describing the amount to use. It is preferable to do this. A carbon dioxide cylinder may be provided to the user instead of the buffer. Since the buffer is added together with the acid at the time of dilution, it becomes easy to keep the sterilized water after the dilution neutral and weakly acidic by suppressing a large pH change of the sterilized water accompanying the dilution.
According to the second aspect of the present invention, a combination of a first container containing a first component, a second container containing a second component, and a third container containing a predetermined amount of water is a consumer. Provide for your own use. As shown in FIG. 6, the sterilized water produced by mixing the first and second components in a predetermined amount of water in the third container as shown in FIG. And the amounts of the first and second components and water are adjusted so as to have a predetermined effective chlorine concentration.
As a modification of the invention of the second aspect, an additional container containing a buffering agent such as sodium hydrogen carbonate as the third component is provided to the consumer together with the first container and the second container, As shown in FIG. 7, the consumer may mix the first to third components in a third container containing water. According to this, as described above, it is possible to prevent the possibility of entering the strongly acidic region at the time of mixing, and to suppress fluctuations in pH of the sterilizing water when the produced sterilizing water is diluted and used.
According to the third aspect of the present invention, a combination of the first container containing the first component, the second container containing the second component, and the manual describing the precautions when mixing the consumer's own Provide for use. The sterilized water produced by the consumer mixing the first and second components in the indicated amount of water according to the instructions in the manual has a pH level in the weakly acidic region or neutral region, and The first and second components are adjusted to have a predetermined effective chlorine concentration.
In the second and third aspects, a first container containing a stock solution, a solid (typically powder) or a diluted first component and a second container containing a stock solution or a diluted second component. A combination with two containers is provided for the consumer's own use.
In the present invention according to the third aspect, a container containing a buffering agent such as bicarbonate (typically sodium bicarbonate) or a carbon dioxide cylinder is additionally provided to the consumer as the third component. It may be. The consumer may put the buffering agent or carbon dioxide gas, which is the third component, into the water when putting the first and second components into the indicated amount of water according to the instruction of the manual. The amount of buffer or carbon dioxide to be added should be noted in the manual.
When applied directly to the affected area of an atopic patient, the first and second components should be adjusted so that the effective chlorine concentration of the sterilized water produced according to the present invention is about 30 ppm. However, when targeting general users, it is preferable to adjust the first and second components so that the effective chlorine concentration is about 50 to 300 ppm with allowance for allowance. When intended for use in the military, it is preferable to adjust the first and second components so that the effective chlorine concentration of the generated sterilizing water is about 50 to 1000 ppm. Moreover, you may use the sterilization water produced | generated according to this invention, diluting with water. In this case, with spatial sterilization in mind, the effective chlorine concentration of the sterilized water produced according to the present invention is about 50-60,000 ppm, preferably 50-10,000 ppm, more preferably 50-2,000 ppm, most preferably. It is preferable to adjust the first and second components so as to be 50 to 1,000 ppm. Here, the effective chlorine concentration is substantially synonymous with the free chlorine concentration.
When providing the first component to the consumer in a liquid state, specifically, when providing sodium hypochlorite to the consumer at a low concentration of 2,000 ppm or less, an alkali (for example, NaOH) is added thereto. It is good to supply after adjusting pH level to 10 or more. Since sodium hypochlorite is relatively stable in the alkaline region of pH 10 or higher, adjustment of the pH of the sodium hypochlorite over time can be delayed by adjusting the pH to 10 or higher with an alkali adjusting solution. . In other words, in order to provide the consumer with sodium hypochlorite at a relatively high concentration, eg, about 10,000 ppm (1%), this relatively high concentration of sodium hypochlorite is usually used. Is already in a highly alkaline state containing sodium hydroxide (NaOH), it is not necessary to add alkali to it. However, for use in the military, which is expected to be stored for a long time in a high temperature atmosphere, an alkali adjusting solution may be added as necessary.
In addition, for example, for a user used for hand sterilization, sodium chloride (NaCl) is added to the first component or the second component, for example, so that the generated sterilized water has the same concentration as the physiological saline. May be. Similarly, for a user used for sterilization and cleaning, a surfactant may be added to the first component, the second component, or dilution water so that the generated sterilized water contains the surfactant.
In a typical embodiment of the present invention, a self-supporting or flexible outer container containing an inner container is prepared, and the first and second components are put in the inner and outer containers, respectively. Provided to consumers. The consumer who has obtained this performs an intentional operation to mix the first component or the second component in the inner container into the outer container.
An example of an intentional operation for mixing the components contained in the inner container into the outer container is as follows.
(1) In one mixing method, the inner container is dropped and opened in the components contained in the outer container, and the components in the inner container are mixed into the outer container.
(2) In another mixing method, the inner container housed in the outer container is forcibly communicated with the outer container, and the components in the inner container are mixed into the outer container.
(3) In another mixing method, a strong force is applied to the outer container to create a hole or the like in the inner container, and the components in the inner container are mixed into the components in the outer container through the holes.
The container or the sterilizing raw material package included in the sterilizing water generation kit according to the present invention may be provided with a spray nozzle that can be attached thereto as an attachment to the consumer. Alternatively, the container or the sterilizing raw material package included in the sterilizing water generation kit may include a spray nozzle that is incorporated in advance in the sealing cap.
The sterilized water generated using the sterilized water generating kit or the sterilizing raw material package according to the present invention should be used for cleaning and sterilizing a large amount of foods such as vegetables and meat, and for space sterilization in hospitals, etc. This eliminates the need to install an expensive sterilizing water generator.
Moreover, the sterilizing water production | generation kit or sterilization raw material package by this invention can be stocked in an army, a hospital, a general household, etc., and can be used for producing | generating fresh sterilizing water as needed at any time. Also, for example, if a woman puts in a handbag and carries the sterilization raw material container of the present invention, fresh sterilized water is generated whenever necessary and used for sterilization with hypochlorous acid. Can do.

The produced sterilized water has a pH in a weakly acidic region or a neutral region, and the effective chlorine concentration is generally an arbitrary concentration of about 50 to 300 ppm. For example, in other words, the second component to be filled in the bottle 2 and the first component to be filled in the circumferential groove 10 are mixed with the pH and effective chlorine in the weakly acidic region or neutral region when they are mixed. The concentration is adjusted to an arbitrary concentration of about 50 to 300 ppm. If intended for use in the military or the like, the first and second components may be adjusted so that the effective chlorine concentration is about 800 ppm.
  If the sterilizing raw material package 1 of the first embodiment is manufactured for women or households, for example, sodium chloride is used so that the generated sterilizing water has a concentration (about 0.9%) equivalent to physiological saline. For example, it may be added into the bottle 2. A woman who has purchased the sterilizing raw material package 1 can perform strong sterilization with hypochlorous acid anytime, anywhere, for example, by carrying the sterilizing raw material package 1 in a handbag.

Moreover, even in general households, by keeping this stock at all times, it is possible for each household to defend itself against the spread of a disease that occurs suddenly like SARS. As described above, sterilization with hypochlorous acid is common to the neutrophil sterilization mechanism in the human body, and is harmless even if taken into the human body through breathing or food. Therefore, using a home humidifier (preferably an ultrasonic humidifier), sterilizing water can be sprayed into a room where people are active, and space sterilization can be performed. In addition, the room can be deodorized. Of course, it can also be used to clean and sterilize ingredients and tableware in the mouth.
  In addition, in the military, by stocking a specific example of the present invention for each camp, it is possible to cope with biological weapon terrorism and emergency medical practice.
  In sterilization using a specific example of the present invention, for example, as shown in FIG. 33, a sprayer 90 is attached to the bottle mouth portion 24 of the bottle 21 used for mixing, and sterilizing water is discharged using this sprayer 90. Can be made. The sprayer 90 can spray the sterilized water in the bottle 21 by pushing down the head 91. Alternatively, the sterilizing water can be discharged using a sprayer 93 of the type shown in FIG. The sprayer 93 illustrated in FIG. 34 can spray the sterilizing water in the bottle 21 by pulling the handle 94. 33 and 34 show the bottle 21 used in the specific example shown in FIG. 19, but the present invention is not limited to this.
  The sprayers 90 and 93 illustrated in FIGS. 33 and 34 are provided with the mixing promoting member 95 shown in FIG. 35 at the sterilizing water discharge port, and the atomized state is obtained using the cap 96 as shown in FIG. It is preferable to be able to control.
  That is, the mixing promoting member 95 has a swivel merging portion 95a at the front end surface thereof, and the sterilizing water pumped up from the bottle 21 swirls and merges through two opposing notches 95b and 95b on the front end surface of the mixing promoting member 95. It enters into the part 95a and is discharged after being mixed in the swirling / merging part 95a. Moreover, by adjusting the tightening amount of the cap 96, the discharged sterilizing water can be changed from the linear injection state to the atomized state.
  For example, the nebulizer 93 shown in FIG. 34 can be used for treatment with the surrounding cover 97 attached thereto (see FIG. 37). During this treatment, sterilization of the wound and pus can be removed by adjusting the tightening amount of the cap 96 according to the state of the wound U and spraying the sterilizing water linearly. If the treated sterilized water is received by the tray 98, it is hygienic.
Example about space sterilization
  For example, when sterilizing a space in a hospital room in a hospital, it is desirable to spray sterilizing water over a wide range without sound. FIG. 38 illustrates a portable indoor space sterilizer 100 suitable for this. The space sterilizer 100 includes a tray 102 that receives hypochlorous acid-containing sterilized water stored in a cassette tank 101. The cap 103 of the cassette tank 101 has a movable pin 104, and the movement of the movable pin 104 opens the outlet of the cap 103. When the water level of the tray 102 falls to the lower surface of the cap 103, air is taken into the cassette tank 101 through the cap 103, whereby the water level of the tray 102 is kept constant. The tray 102 is disposed in the apparatus main body 105, and the sterilizing water in the tray 102 is atomized by the ultrasonic generator 106. The space sterilization apparatus 100 includes a main fan 108 disposed in an open space driven by an electric motor 107. The main fan 108 and the motor 107 are disposed above the apparatus main body 105, and have a shaft 109 as a center. The vertical direction can be adjusted.
  The sterilized water atomized by the ultrasonic generator 106 passes through the first passage 110 extending upward from the apparatus main body 105 and is carried adjacent to and in front of the main fan 108. In order to promote this, a part of the wind generated by the rotation of the main fan 108 is supplied into the apparatus main body 105 through the second passage 111 and is supplied into the apparatus main body 105 from the second passage 111. The sterilized water mist atomized by the ultrasonic generator 106 is conveyed to the vicinity of the main fan 108.
  The outlet 110a of the first passage 110 is preferably opened toward the front, and the outlet 110a is adjacent to the central portion of the main fan 108 and may be disposed in front thereof. The position and orientation of the outlet 110 a can be adjusted by a bellows 110 b that constitutes a part of the first passage 110. The main fan 108 is preferably provided with safety measures by surrounding it with a net 112 or the like.
  The electric motor 107 and the ultrasonic generator 106 are controlled by a power supply unit and a control unit 113 housed in the apparatus main body 105.
  According to the space sterilizer 100, the main fan 108 installed in the open space can disperse sterilized water over a wide range without blowing sound, and space sterilization in a hospital room where the blowing sound has been a problem until now. It is also applicable to. When the room is sterilized by the space sterilization apparatus 100, hospital infection can be prevented by space sterilization in the patient's room where a patient with weak body lives without being bothered by the blowing sound. The effect can also solve the problem of odor in hospital rooms. By using the sterilizing raw material package or the sterilizing water generating kit of the present invention, sterilizing water for replenishing the cassette tank 101 can be easily and close to the apparatus 100. In this case, the hypochlorous acid-containing sterilized water generated by the sterilizing raw material package or the sterilizing water generating kit may be directly put into the cassette tank 101 to sterilize the space. Preferably, the produced hypochlorous acid-containing sterilized water is appropriately diluted and then placed in the cassette tank 101. In the case of a sterilizing water generation kit, the scale 85 may be used to generate sterilizing water having a concentration convenient for space sterilization and to be sprayed indoors using the space sterilization apparatus 100. Note that the bottle 21 described above may be used instead of the cassette tank 101.
  Moreover, you may employ | adopt a crossflow fan as the main fan 108 of the space sterilizer 100 (FIG. 39, 40). As is known, this cross-flow fan discharges a uniform average flow in a direction perpendicular to the gas suction direction and has a feature that the blowing sound is small. Further, a relatively small second electric fan is provided in the apparatus main body 105, and the mist of the sterilized water atomized by using the wind generated by the second electric fan is conveyed to the vicinity of the main fan 108. The sterilized water mist may be dispersed far away by causing the mist of the sterilized water to be accompanied by the wind generated by the main fan 108.
  In order to prevent the indoor humidity from rising too much, a control mechanism is provided in the space sterilization apparatus 100 to spray sterilizing water, for example, for 3 minutes, and then stop the operation for 10 minutes. May be performed intermittently. This spray control mechanism may be combined with a sensor for detecting indoor humidity and temperature, for example, to control the spray time and operation stop time according to the indoor humidity and temperature. Further, a control pattern programmed in advance may be incorporated, and the spraying time and the operation stop time may be variably controlled by this control pattern.
  Hypochlorous acid-containing sterilized water stored in the cassette tank 101 of the space sterilizer 100 is not particularly limited, but an effective chlorine concentration of 50 to 200 ppm is appropriate.
  Although the space sterilization apparatus 100 mentioned above illustrated the portable apparatus, the stationary type which receives supply of sterilization water by piping, for example may be sufficient. In this case, it is preferable to design so that the supply format by piping and the supply format by the cassette tank 101 can be arbitrarily selected as the format for supplying the sterilizing water to the ultrasonic generator 106.
  39 and 40 show a space sterilization apparatus 120 that can select a supply format using a cassette tank (FIG. 39) and a supply format using piping (FIG. 40) by attaching an attachment. The first and second attachments 122 and 123 can be selectively attached to the outer case 121. When the first attachment 122 is attached as shown in FIG. 39, the cassette is obtained by removing the cover 122a. The tank 101 can be taken out. On the other hand, when the second attachment 123 is attached, sterilizing water can be supplied through the pipe 124 (FIG. 40). Reference numeral 125 shown in FIG. 40 is an electromagnetic on-off valve, and 126 is a water level sensor. The water level sensor 126 and the electromagnetic on-off valve 125 maintain the water level of the sterilizing water almost constant.
  In the space sterilization apparatus 120 shown in FIGS. 39 and 40, a cross flow fan is adopted as the main fan 108, and a louver 127 is provided at the air blowing port 108 a of the main fan 108. By adjusting the direction of the louver 127, the direction of the wind generated by the main fan 108 can be changed. The air fan 108a of the main fan 108 faces the open space and has no air duct. The outer case 121 has an air intake port 128, which is preferably equal to or larger than the opening area of the air blowing port 108a.
  The space sterilizer 120 shown in FIGS. 39 and 40 is provided with a second electric fan 130, and the atomized sterilized water mist is conveyed to the vicinity of the main fan 108 by the second electric fan 130. The
  The space sterilization apparatuses 100 and 120 including the main fan or the cross flow fan 108 illustrated in FIGS. 38 to 40 may include an electrolysis type sterilizing water generation mechanism. FIG. 41 illustrates a space sterilizer 135 having an electrolysis-type sterilizing water generating mechanism. In this space sterilizer 135, hydrochloric acid (HCl) diluted with water is accommodated in a detachable cassette tank 101. Hydrochloric acid passes through an electrolyzing part 136 of a non-diaphragm, thereby allowing hypochlorous acid. (HClO) is produced. The electrolysis unit 136 has a positive electrode 137 and a negative electrode 138 that are formed of two cylindrical metal pipes having different diameters (for example, a platinum-plated titanium material). The electrolysis unit 136 preferably has a heat dissipation or cooling mechanism 139, and the heat generation or cooling mechanism 139 suppresses heat generation of the electrolysis unit 136. For example, if a combination of a corrosion-resistant plate (for example, a titanium plate) 139a and a Peltier element 139b that is disposed so as to penetrate into the electrolysis unit 136 and has excellent heat conductivity is employed as the heat dissipation or cooling mechanism 139, the electrolysis can be performed silently. The part 136 can be cooled.
  According to this electrolysis-type space sterilization apparatus 135, salt is not substantially contained in the atomized sterilized water to be sprayed, which is suitable for space sterilization in a hospital. In addition, regarding the cooling method of the electrolysis part 136, it is not limited to the Peltier device 139b, An air cooling type may be sufficient and a water cooling type may be sufficient.
Various variations
  Although specific examples of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to these specific examples. For example, as shown in FIG. 42, the inner container 23 provided in the bottle 21 is hung on the upper end edge of the bottle mouth portion 24, and the upper and lower two plugs 142, 143 fitted on the sleeve 140. Thus, a sealed space may be formed between the two plugs 142 and 143, and this sealed space may be used as the inner container 23. In order to open the inner container 23, for example, two plugs 142 and 143 are connected to each other by a shaft 144 extending vertically, and in order to push down the shaft 144, for example, a rod suspended from the sealing cap 5 to the sealing cap 5. 145 may be provided. The rod 145 may have a separate structure from the sealing cap 5 as shown in FIG. 42, or may have a structure integrated with the sealing cap 5. When the stopper ring 6 is removed and the sealing cap 5 is tightened to lower the rod 145, the plugs 142 and 143 are pushed down, and the lower plug 143 is detached from the lower end of the sleeve 140, so that the components in the sleeve 140 are transferred into the bottle 21. leak.
  The configuration of forming the inner container using the removable plug 142 described with reference to FIG. 42 is applied to the inner container 71 arranged in the mouth portion 63 of the outer bag 61 shown in FIGS. be able to. That is, as shown in FIG. 43, the plug 142 is fitted into the lower end opening of the sleeve constituting the side wall of the inner container 71, and the plug 142 is pushed down by the rod 145 associated with the sealing cap 5 to open the inner container 71. It may be. This plug 142 is preferably liquid-tightly fitted to the inner peripheral surface of the lower end and / or the outer peripheral surface of the lower end of the sleeve constituting the side wall of the inner container 71.
  FIG. 44 illustrates an example of means for preventing the plug 142 from being unintentionally detached from the inner container 23. 44, the rod 145 is fixed to the plug 142, and the end of the arm 148 integrally formed with the rod 145 is locked to the step 149 of the sleeve 140. As a result, the arm 142 functions as a stopper that restricts the downward movement of the rod 145, and the accident of dropping the plug 142 can be avoided by preventing the unintentional downward movement of the rod 145. Note that the weakened portion 150 (for example, the arm 142 and the rod 145 is provided on a part of the arm 142 so that the normal mixing operation of removing the stopper ring 6 and tightening the sealing cap 5 to lower the rod 145 is not hindered. When the sealing cap 5 is tightened, it is preferable that the weak portion of the arm 142 be broken or bent.
  FIG. 44 also discloses that a relief valve 152 is provided in the sealing cap 5 that substantially constitutes the cap of the inner container 23. When the internal pressure of the inner container 23 rises, the relief valve 152 is opened, so that the pressure in the inner container 23 can be kept substantially constant. By providing the inner vessel 23 with pressure adjusting means such as a relief valve 152, for example, when oxygen gas is generated from sodium hypochlorite and the inner pressure of the inner vessel 23 rises, the plug 142 is pushed down by this inner pressure. Thus, the plug 142 can be prevented from falling off.
  The pressure release means disclosed in FIG. 44 is composed of a ball and a spring. Instead, the gas inside the inner container 23 is released to the atmosphere through the gas-liquid separation membrane using a gas-liquid separation membrane. Alternatively, a flexible packing having cushioning properties (for example, a packing made of a soft resin with closed cells) may be used as a sealing material for the sealing cap 5 to adjust the degree of compression of the packing. The gas may leak out, but the liquid may be blocked.
  In the modified example disclosed in FIG. 42 described above, when viewed from another point of view, the inner container 23 is configured by two relatively displaceable members (a first member 140 and a second member 144, 142, 143). In a state where one member 140 is fixed to the outer container 21, the inner member 23 is opened by displacing the other member 144, 142, 143, and components in the inner container 23 are placed in the outer container 21. It is designed to be drained. Other specific examples according to this viewpoint are shown in FIGS.
  45 includes a sleeve 140 (first member) fixed to the outer container, that is, the bottle 21, and a second member 150 having two flanges 142 and 143 spaced apart from each other. The inner container 23 is formed by fitting the second member 150 into the sleeve 140.
  When the stopper ring 6 is removed and the sealing cap 5 is tightened to lower the rod 145, the second member 150 is pushed down by the rod 145. As a result, a part of the inner container 23 is opened, and the components in the inner container 23 are opened. Flows out into the bottle 21. As shown in FIG. 45, if the main body 152 of the second member 150 is cylindrical, a through hole may be provided as indicated by reference numeral 152.
  46, the second member 150 is positioned outside the sleeve 140, and the lower end of the cylindrical body 151 of the second member 150 is closed by the bottom 155. The bottom 155 is liquid-tight with the sleeve 140. Close. The upper end of the cylindrical body 151 has an inner flange 156, and the inner end of the inner flange 156 is in liquid-tight contact with the sleeve 140, thereby forming the inner container 23 on the outer side of the sleeve 140.
  When the stopper ring 6 is removed and the sealing cap 5 is tightened to lower the rod 145, the second member 150 is pushed down by the rod 145. As a result, the bottom 155 of the second member 150 is separated from the lower end of the sleeve 140. A part of the inner container 23 is opened, and the components in the inner container 23 flow out into the bottle 21.
  With respect to the cutting aid 26 included in a specific example such as FIG. 16, as illustrated in FIGS. 47 to 50, a recess 26 b is provided at the top, and powdered sodium bicarbonate is accommodated in the recess 26 b. It may be. When the pusher 41 is pushed down after the stopper ring 42 is removed, the cutting aid 26 is forcibly moved downward, the horizontal step portion 23b of the inner container 23 can be cut and the inner container 23 can be dropped, and the cutting aid 26 Also fall into the bottle 21 together (FIG. 48). Thereby, in addition to the components accommodated in the inner container 23, the sodium bicarbonate accommodated in the recess 26 b of the cutting aid 26 flows into the bottle 21, and the three components containing sodium bicarbonate in the bottle 21 Can be mixed to produce sterilized water containing sodium bicarbonate as a buffer.
  The cutting blade 26a formed at the lower end of the cutting aid 26 preferably has an inclined contour as can be understood from FIG. Further, the cutting blade 26a is preferably provided with a sharp tip 26c protruding downward at the lowermost end thereof. When the cutting aid 26 provided with the cutting blade 26a is pushed down by the pusher 41, the sharpest tip 26c at the lowest end bites into the horizontal step portion 23b of the inner container 23 and penetrates a part thereof, and then has an inclined contour. The horizontal step portion 23b is successively cut by the cutting blade 26a, and finally the entire circumference of the horizontal step portion 23b is cut. Thereby, the cutting of the inner container 23 by the cutting blade 26a can be ensured, and the force required for this cutting can be reduced.
  As shown in FIG. 51, when sodium hypochlorite is accommodated in the inner container 23, if it is necessary to release the gas generated from sodium hypochlorite to the outside while the bottle 21 is being stored. The through hole 160 is provided in the bottom portion of the recess 26b of the cutting aid 26, and the second through hole 161 is also provided in the pusher 41 serving as a lid of the recess 26b. The gas may be discharged to the outside. A reference numeral 163 shown in FIG. 51 indicates a first gas permeable film that covers the first through hole 160, and 164 indicates a second gas permeable film that covers the second through hole 161.
  As a modification of FIG. 51, as shown in FIG. 52, a cylindrical gas discharge passage 166 that extends downward from the central portion of the pusher 41 through the central portion of the cutting aid 26 is provided. You may make it discharge | release the gas which the sodium hypochlorite in the inner side container 23 discharge | releases outside. Reference numeral 167 in FIG. 52 indicates a check valve.
  Buffer action
  FIG. 53 shows a change in pH value by mixing hydrochloric acid with sodium hypochlorite. The symbol ▪ indicates the pH value when hydrochloric acid is mixed in an aqueous solution containing sodium hypochlorite and sodium hydrogencarbonate, and the symbol ▲ indicates the pH value when hydrochloric acid is simply mixed in sodium hypochlorite. Each component used in this experiment is as follows.
    (1) Tap water 250ml
    (2) Sodium hypochlorite (concentration 12%) 0.4ml
    (3) Hydrochloric acid (concentration 7.2%)
    (4) Sodium bicarbonate 0.3g
  When sampling the data marked with (2), hydrochloric acid was added little by little to an aqueous solution in which tap water was mixed with sodium hypochlorite and sodium hydrogen carbonate, and the change in pH of the sterilizing water was measured. When sampling the data marked with ▲, hydrochloric acid was gradually added to an aqueous solution in which sodium hypochlorite was mixed in tap water, and the change in pH of the sterilizing water was measured.
  As can be understood from FIG. 53, in the experiment in which sodium hydrogen carbonate is not added, the pH value of the sterilizing water is sensitive to the increase in the amount of hydrochloric acid, and the pH value is rapidly decreased and rapidly decreased to the strongly acidic region. . In particular, it rapidly decreases from pH 6 to pH 3 at once. On the other hand, in the experiment in which sodium hydrogen carbonate was added, it was found that the pH value of the sterilizing water was suppressed from decreasing, and that the pH was reduced to about 5 in particular. As those skilled in the art can easily understand from the results of this experiment, carbonic acid is used to adjust the pH value of the sterilizing water to be in a neutral region or a weakly acidic region by adding hydrochloric acid to sodium hypochlorite. It will be seen that it is easier to add sodium hydride. Moreover, the pH fluctuation | variation of produced | generated sterilization water can be suppressed. Also, when diluting the produced sterilized water with water, if the water used is, for example, alkaline well water, an acid such as hydrochloric acid is added together with a buffer such as sodium bicarbonate to produce carbonic acid. If possible, the same buffering effect can be obtained. In addition, you may make it acquire a buffer effect by adding a carbon dioxide gas or high concentration carbonated water to the produced | generated sterilization water.
