The main body 10 is provided with a drive unit 15 for driving the wheel 11, by such a drive unit 15 can easily move the cleaning and disinfection device of the present invention.

The places for cleaning and disinfection are usually different in degree, but have a large area of several hundreds to thousands of square meters, and it is necessary to move the disinfection and washing apparatus to clean or disinfect the whole house.

By the way, the bottom of the barn may be inclined depending on the place or there may be a slight protrusion, because it is often not flat, it takes a lot of effort to move the cleaning and disinfection apparatus of the present application. In particular, many people in the livestock industry or agriculture are older people, so it is more difficult to move the cleaning and disinfection system by force.

In order to solve this problem, the present invention is to provide a drive unit 15 for driving the wheel 11 in the main body 10 to facilitate the movement regardless of the condition of the barn floor, the elderly. At this time, the handle 10 is installed on the main body 10, the handle 12 is preferably provided with an operation switch (not shown) for operating the drive unit 15.

The electrolyzer 20 is an electrolyzer body 21 in which water supplied from the direct water supply hose 40 is stored, and is installed in the electrolyzer body 21 so as to be replaced, and at least one pair of electrodes 22a and 22b for electrolyzing water. ), An electrode replacement cap 23 for replacing the electrodes 22a and 22b, and an electrolytic cell flow sensor 24 for measuring a flow rate of water stored in the electrolytic cell body 21 and generating a corresponding signal. . The electrolytic cell 20 is a non-diaphragm electrolytic cell that does not employ a diaphragm between the electrodes 22a and 22b. For example, chlorine (Cl ₂ ) is produced at the anode by electrolyzing an electrolyte such as saline + hydrochloric acid. This chlorine dissolves in water to produce high concentrations of hypochlorous acid (HOCL) water continuously.

The electrolytic cell body 21 is manufactured in a square or cylindrical shape, and a material that is not corroded by hypochlorous acid, which is a main component of electrolytic water, for example, a plastic system such as PP, PE, PC, nylon, or the like, is preferable. The electrolyzer body 21 is provided with a cock 21a to discharge gas or steam generated during electrolytic water generation.

The electrodes 22a and 22b electrolyze water when electricity is applied. The electrodes 22a and 22b may use ordinary metal electrodes, but when used for a long period of time, the anode (+) continuously emits electrons and thus shortens the life due to electrical corrosion. It is preferable to use a platinum group electrode. In addition, when used for a long time, the negative electrode (-) has a problem that the production rate of the disinfecting component is slowed by the scale is caught, it is necessary to change the positive and negative electrodes from time to time to prevent this. In this case, since both electrodes may be used as the anode, in contrast, both electrodes may use a platinum group electrode.

The electrode replacement cap 23 supports the electrodes 22a and 22b, and as shown in FIG. 3, the electrode replacement cap 23 is attached to and detached from the coupling hole 21a in the electrolytic cell body 21. To this end, a screw thread is formed on the inner circumferential surface of the coupling hole 21a formed in the electrolytic cell body 21, and a detachable portion 23a is screwed to the coupling hole 21a on the outer circumferential surface of the electrode replacement cap 23. have.

The electrolytic cell flow sensor 24 generates a corresponding signal according to the amount of water flowing into the electrolytic cell body 21 to open or close the solenoid valve V connected to the direct water supply hose 40. That is, when the electrolyzer body 21 is sufficiently filled with water, the electrolyzer flow sensor 24 closes the solenoid valve V so that no direct water flows through the direct water supply hose 40, and thus the electrolyzer body ( 21) is always supplied with a certain amount of water.

The electrolyte supply unit 30 stores the electrolyte supplied to the electrolytic cell 20. At this time, the characteristics of the electrolyzed water generated in the electrolyzer 20 are determined by the type of electrolyte. When the electrolyzed water to be produced is microacidic hypochlorous acid, the electrolyte is a mixed solution of hydrochloric acid and salt. In addition, when the electrolyzed water to be produced is chlorine water, the electrolyte is saline.

It is preferable that the electrolytic water produced | generated by the said electrolytic cell 20 is unacidic hypochlorous acid water. The non-acidic hypochlorous acid has excellent sterilization and antibacterial function, and is environmentally friendly and safe compared to the existing disinfectants. In addition, it has high activity and is quickly decomposed by natural light, almost no poisonous odor, and harmless to human body. In particular, conventional chemical disinfectants are harmful to the human body, and there are a lot of harmful residues after use, but the non-acidic hypochlorous acid water does not have any residue. The non-acidic hypochlorous acid has an effective chlorine concentration of 10-30 PPM and has a pH of 5-6,5 to rapidly kill 99.9% of pathogenic bacteria / fungi such as bacteria and viruses.

The electrolyte supply pump 35 serves as a valve and supplies electrolyte to the electrolytic cell 20 or blocks the electrolyte from being supplied to the electrolytic cell 20 as necessary.

The direct water supply hose 40 is connected to an external water pipe to supply direct water to the electrolytic cell 20. The end portion of the water supply hose 40 is provided with a connector 41 that can be attached to and detached from the water pipe. By employing such a direct water supply hose 40, it is possible to directly receive the water required to generate more than a few hundred liters of electrolyzed water from the water pipe. Therefore, the worker can reduce the effort to supply water to the electrolytic cell 20, it is possible to reduce the time consumed in the process.

The storage tank 50 stores the electrolyzed water generated in the electrolytic cell 20.

It takes a certain time for the electrolyzer 20 to produce electrolyzed water having a desired pH concentration or effective chlorine concentration. Therefore, when electrolyzed water having a desired characteristic is produced in the electrolytic cell 20, the electrolyzed water is supplied to the storage tank 50 and stored separately. Then, the electrolyzed water 20 directly supplies fresh water and electrolyte to the electrolyzer 20 to continuously generate new electrolyzed water.

On the other hand, the storage tank 50, a storage tank flow rate sensor 56 for measuring the flow rate of the stored electrolytic water, as shown in Figure 4 is installed, the storage tank flow rate sensor 56 according to the flow rate of the stored electrolytic water flow signal Occurs. The flow rate of the electrolyzed water is displayed on the display (not shown) installed outside the main body 10 by the flow signal, thereby indicating the remaining amount of the electrolyzed water from the outside.

The electrolytic water supply pump 55 serves to supply the electrolyzed water generated in the electrolytic cell 20 to the storage tank 50 and also serves as a valve. Accordingly, when the electrolytic water supply pump 55 does not operate, the electrolytic water stored in the storage tank 50 is prevented from flowing back to the electrolytic cell 20.

The pressure pump 60 pumps the electrolyzed water stored in the storage tank 50 to the spray hose 61 at a high pressure. The present invention is to be sprayed at a high pressure in order to perform the cleaning as well as disinfection, which is performed by the pressure-feed pump (60).

The spray angle adjusting nozzle 70 has a different spraying form when the electrolytic water sprayed through the spray hose 61 is used for washing and for disinfection. For example, when used for washing, the spray angle adjusting nozzle 70 is to be sprayed away by reducing the width of the electrolyzed water to be sprayed. And when used for disinfection, the spray angle adjusting nozzle 70 is to be sprayed wide by increasing the width of the electrolytic water to be sprayed.

The electrolyzed water drain valve 80 is a valve for outflowing the electrolyzed water stored in the storage tank 50 connected to the storage tank 50 to the outside. By the electrolytic water drain valve 80, the operator can put the electrolyzed water in a bottle or a container, such electrolyzed water may be used in various fields, for example, for washing fruits or washing seafood.

The bypass line 90 is intended to allow only cleaning without disinfection of the surroundings. When sterilization is not necessary, there is no need to produce electrolyzed water in the electrolytic cell 20, and therefore, the direct water supplied to the direct water supply hose 40 should be supplied directly to the storage tank 50. To this end, the bypass line 90 connects the water supply hose 40 and the storage tank 50 so that the water is supplied directly to the storage tank 50, which is performed by opening and closing the bypass valve 91.

The first hose reel 100 is to wind and store the spray hose (61). The spray hose 61 has a length of several tens of meters so as to clean and disinfect a large area. The spray hose 61 is wound around the first hose reel 100 and stored, and thus easy to use. Do.

The second hose reel 110 is to wind and store the water supply hose 40. Direct water supply hose 40 should be connected to the water pipe, it has a length of several tens of meters so that even if the distance between the main body 10 and the water pipe is far. The water supply hose 40 is easy to use because it is wound around the second hose reel 110 and stored.

The heater 120 increases the temperature of the direct water passing through the direct water supply hose 40.

Electrolyzed water sprayed in the present invention falls on the body of the livestock in the process of washing or disinfection, when the temperature of the electrolyzed water is low, the livestock may catch a cold. Especially in winter, the temperature of direct water is low enough to reach below zero, and cold water can be caught when electrolyzed water made from such low temperature water falls on the livestock. In order to prevent this, the heater 120 raises the water flowing through the water supply hose 40 to some extent to prevent the livestock from getting caught.

The electrode replacement alarm unit 130 generates an alarm signal for replacing when the lifetime of the electrodes 22a and 22b expires. In order to produce the non-acidic hypochlorous acid water in the electrolytic cell 20, the electrolyte described later uses a mixture of hydrochloric acid and salt.

However, the electrolyte containing hydrochloric acid may weaken the electrolytic ability by melting or corroding the surfaces of the electrodes 22a and 22b. In this case, since the electrodes 22a and 22b are damaged, the electrode replacement alarm unit 130 generates an alarm signal to replace the electrodes 22a and 22b.

According to the present invention, since the direct water is directly supplied to the electrolytic cell, a large amount of electrolyzed water can be generated, thereby washing or disinfecting a large area in the livestock, agriculture, and fishery fields.

In addition, by the pressure pump 60 and the injection angle adjustment nozzle 70 can be sprayed with a strong water pressure or a large area can be carried out at the same time washing and disinfection. Therefore, the washing and disinfection work can be performed quickly, saving time and labor.

In addition, since the electrolyzed water is harmless to humans or animals, exposure to electrolyzed water sprayed during cleaning and disinfection does not harm the health. In particular, electrolyzed water does not use chemicals, has no strong odor, and does not generate residual material, which is safer for the human body and the environment.

While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiments, but, on the contrary, is intended to cover various modifications and equivalent arrangements included within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
