4A and 4B illustrate a state in which the underwater plasma ion unit 120 to which the container 110 is fastened is seated on the power control unit 130.

In FIG. 4A, a power cord 510 connected to a wire 520 is provided to apply power to the water purifying device 100. When the user applies power to the power control unit 130, the user inserts the power cord 510 of the water purifier 100 into an outlet (not shown) of 110 V or 220 V so that power is applied to the water purifier 100. . Of course, as shown in FIG. 5B, power may be supplied using a secondary battery such as a battery or a battery. At this time, in the case of a dry battery or a secondary battery, it is used by stepping up to DC 1.5-100V.

AC power from the outlet is applied to the power supply unit 306 of the power control unit 130 through the power cord 510 and the wire 520. When power is applied to the power control unit 130, the power LED 134 is turned on to indicate that power is applied. At this time, the power applied to the power supply unit 306 is transferred to the switching unit 304, and since the switching unit 304 is normally in an off state, the power waits at the switching unit 304.

When the user displays the power LED 134 of the water purifying device 100, the user fills the container 110 with water or a predetermined amount.

In the state where the container 110 is filled with water, the user turns on the power switch 132 to purify the water. When the power switch 132 is turned on, the control unit 308 of the power control unit 130 applies the on control signal to the switching unit 304 to switch on the switching unit 304. Therefore, the power source waiting in the switching unit 304 is applied to the underwater discharger 122 via the connection unit 302 and the connection terminal 124 of the underwater plasma ion unit 120. In this case, if water is not detected by the detection sensor 232 and thus a detection signal is not applied from the detection unit 312 to the control unit 308, the control unit 308 does not switch on the switching unit 304.

Positive power and negative power are applied to the power applied from the power supply unit 306 to the switching unit 304. In the present invention, the control unit 308 controls the switching unit 304 so that a positive voltage and a negative voltage are alternately supplied every 1 to 5 minutes. Therefore, the polarity of the connection terminal 124 changes every time the power supply is alternately supplied.

Power is applied to the underwater discharger 122 through the connection pins (c, d) connected to the connection terminal 124, the cathode (Cathod) to the electrode cell 210 and the semi-electrode cell 220 in the underwater discharger (122) Power source and anode power source are applied. Accordingly, in the underwater discharger 122, underwater discharge occurs in the anode direction from the cathode.

The electrode cells 210 and the semi-electrode cells 220 of the underwater discharger 122 are attached with ionized impurities and anions which are electrolytically separated to form a nucleation site, which is a local electric field increasing region. (Localized Field Enhancement Region), locally high current density, and locally heated, water molecules evaporate to form bubbles. Once the bubbles are formed, the bubbles expand and a conduction channel is formed from the cathode electrode to the anode electrode. This is the underwater discharge by the bubble mechanism. Occurs, the water discharge water molecule O ^- generates oxidation and sterilization material such _{^{as, HOCl, H 2 O 2 -}} , O 3 -, OH.

The generated negative ions _{^{(O -, O 3 -,}} OH -, HOCl, H 2 O 2) is created and the heavy metals and the ionized impurities (Impurities) is dissolved in water to harmless substances by oxidation, in the water Various germs, viruses, bacteria, etc. are sterilized.

Due to the anion generated and dissolved by the underwater discharger 122, the water in the container 110 becomes sterile water as well as sterilized water. Thus, the water in the container 110 is effective to remove odors in the mouth. In addition, since the water in the container 110 sterilizes bacteria or bacteria in the mouth, it may effectively act to treat gum disease. In addition, since the sterilizing water contains anions (O ₃ ⁻ , HOCl, H ₂ O ₂ ), the germicidal water can sterilize viruses, bacteria, and the like on vegetables, fruits, vegetables and tableware, and also vegetables, fruits, and vegetables. And heavy metals and harmful compounds on the tableware, etc. can also be harmless through oxidation.

The horizontal discharge plate 624 and the vertical discharge plate 626 of the underwater discharge unit 620 are attached with ionized impurities and negatively separated anions to form a nucleation site, and the core generation site is a local part. Localized Field Enhancement Region, localized high current density, localized heating, water molecules evaporate and bubbles (Bobble) are formed. Once the bubbles are formed, the bubbles expand and a conduction channel is formed from the cathode electrode to the anode electrode. In this process, the underwater discharge by the bubble mechanism occurs.

Avalanche Brakedown Mechanism occurs at a number of virtual points composed of the # 1 and # 2 discharge plates with a distance between the lower surfaces of the discharge plates. This action occurs between the top surface of the # 2 discharge plate and the bottom surface of the # 3 discharge plate, between the top surface of the # 3 discharge plate and the bottom surface of the # 4 discharge plate, the top surface of the # 4 discharge plate and the # 5 discharge plate. Between the lower surfaces, i.e. in the case of N discharge plates, a switch is formed consisting of a myriad of virtual points acted by N-1 avalanche breakdown mechanisms.

In the avalanche breakdown mechanism, when the voltage V ₀ is applied while the two electrode points P1 and P1 'are submerged in water with a distance d (mm), the electric field is formed as shown in Equation 1 below. do.
