Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a manufacturing apparatus of hydrogen water,

More particularly, the present invention relates to an electrolytic device for preventing the accumulation of ionic substances, scales, and precipitates, which degrade electrolysis efficiency, in the electrode part, thereby improving the durability of the electrode part. The present invention also provides a hydrogen water producing apparatus having a flow path structure capable of maximizing the Bernoulli effect of fluid so as to increase the concentration of active hydrogen dissolved in water by electrolyzing raw water. To a tumbler type water producing apparatus.

Recently, the interest in health has increased, and the ratio of using bottled water to drink or drinking water to filter drinking water is increasing rapidly.

Until now, the water purifier has been recognized as a device that removes foreign matter contained in raw water and purifies it with water that can be consumed by the user. In recent years, however, not only does the pollutant be filtered using various kinds of filters, The interest in the water purifier that can generate the same functional water has been increasing and various developments have been made.

Thus, as interest in health has increased recently, the expectation and value of functional water have been increasing, and work has been actively carried out to maximize the role of functional water by adding a health-friendly substance to enemy water.

Particularly, as hydrogen is known to have active oxygen removal and reducing power, a lot of data and information are abundant throughout academia and industry.

That is, when hydrogen is dissolved in the drinking water to remove harmful active oxygen in the body, the hydrogen molecules dissolved in the drinking water react with the harmful active oxygen in the body to turn into water, Of the total number of cases.

Accordingly, studies are being made on various types of water producing apparatuses capable of including active hydrogen in water.

For example, Korean Utility Model Registration No. 0398253 (published on Dec. 12, 2005), Korean Registered Patent Publication No. 0995713 (issued Nov. 19, 2010), Korean Registered Patent Publication No. 1076631 (issued October 19, 2011) Korean Patent Publication No. 1171302 (June 6, 2012), Korean Patent Publication No. 2014-60738 (May 21, 2014), Korean Patent Publication No. 1448577 (October 13, 2014) A technique relating to a manufacturing apparatus is disclosed.

That is, as described in the above-mentioned prior arts, there is disclosed a technique for a water producing apparatus applied in various ways and in various forms, and by producing water having a reducing power by dissolving hydrogen in a drinking water, The market as a functional number is gradually expanding.

However, the work of dissolving hydrogen in the drinking water is relatively simple and relatively new, with relatively low solubility (about 1.6 ppm at room temperature). It is true that they are having difficulty in dissolving in water.

Due to the difficulty of hydrogen dissolution, it is becoming common to produce hydrogen peroxide by electrolysis by directly applying electricity to the drinking water.

However, when direct electricity is applied to the raw water, when the voltage is higher than the voltage for dissociating the water and the voltage is applied higher than necessary in order to increase the efficiency, various contaminants or other substances dissolved in water are reduced or oxidized It is true that new compounds may be created or deposited and accumulated.

This is a disadvantage of direct electrolysis of raw water, and it is a reality that there is work to supplement it.

On the other hand, in a conventional electrolytic apparatus, when an electric current is supplied to the supplied raw water from a power supply, an anode is connected to one electrode or electrode plate in the electrolytic apparatus, and a cathode is connected to another electrode or electrode plate when current flows, in the positive electrode _{H 2 O → 1 / 2O 2} + 2H + + 2e - occurs in the reaction, while the anode 2H ₂ O + 2e ^- will take place in the reaction ^- → H ₂ + 2OH.

Therefore, oxygen (O ₂ ) is generated in the electrode or the electrode plate to which the anode is connected, hydrogen (H ₂ ) is generated in the electrode or the electrode plate to which the cathode is connected, and hydrogen water containing dissolved hydrogen of 0.1 ppm or more can be obtained. Hydrogen ions (H ⁺ ) are generated in the anode and hydroxide ions (OH ^- ) are generated in the cathode.

The hydrogen ion (H ⁺ ) changes water to an acidic state and the hydroxide ion (OH ^- ) changes water to an alkaline state, but since they exist in the same amount, the pH of water does not change as a whole.

When a certain period of time elapses in the electrolysis process, the scale of the Mg (OH) ₂ component formed by the combination of the hydroxide ion (OH ^- ) and the Mg ^{2 +} component generated on the surface of the electrode rod or the electrode plate connected with the cathode rapidly develops, The value is increased and the efficiency of electrolysis is rapidly reduced. In addition, Ca (HCO ₃ ) ₂ is slightly soluble in water, but if CO ₂ is removed, it becomes insoluble and forms a CaCO ₃ scale.

Therefore, when the positive electrode is supplied to one electrode rod or electrode plate from the power supply and the negative electrode is supplied to the other electrode rod or electrode plate, the voltage is repeatedly supplied in a range of the maximum time during which no scale is generated, .

As described above, in the electrolytic process of the conventional hydrogen-water producing apparatus, scales are formed on the electrode portions, which not only deteriorates the electrolysis efficiency, but also hinders the durability of the electrode portions. Accordingly, In fact.

In addition, there is a need to develop a technology capable of dissolving hydrogen generated through electrolysis as much as possible in water.

That is, according to the present invention, the EDLC forming electrode unit 300, which is a third electrode having a relatively lower electric potential than the second electrode unit 220, is disposed adjacent to the second electrode unit 220 at a predetermined interval, The ionic material accumulated on the second electrode unit 220 or the scale may be moved to the EDLC forming electrode unit 300, which is a third electrode having a relatively low potential, so as to be adsorbed (charged) The ionic material and scale accumulated in the EDLC forming electrode unit 300 can be desorbed (discharged) by taking a reverse potential instantaneously after the completion of the electrolysis.

As described above, in the present invention, the ionic material or scale generated during the electrolysis by the first electrode unit 210 and the second electrode unit 220 is not adsorbed on the second electrode unit 220, It is possible to prevent the ionic material or scale from being adsorbed on the second electrode unit 220 by causing the ionic material or scale which is suggested as a problem of the related art to be adsorbed by the electrode unit 300, So that the durability of the electrolysis unit 200 can be improved as a result.

3 and 4, the EDLC forming electrode unit 300 according to the first embodiment of the present invention is inserted along the flow path 105 inside the electrolytic cell 100, A third electrode rod 310 having a conical shape whose diameter gradually increases from the first electrode 310 toward the second electrode 310 and a plurality of micro-channel holes 321 connected to the external power source while being in contact with the lower end of the third electrode 310, And a third electrode terminal plate 320 formed thereon.

The third electrode rod 310 is inserted and disposed along the central flow path 105 of the electrolytic cell 100. The third electrode rod 310 is made of carbon nanotube (CNT), graphite, stainless steel, It is preferable to use a material coated or plated with platinum group metals such as titanium or titanium at 10 mg / cm 2 or less.

In addition, the third electrode rod 310 has a conical shape. In this process, when the raw water flows in and out, the third electrode rod 310 induces the cross-sectional area of the flow path inside the electrolytic cell 100 to be gradually reduced , The fluid flowing along the reduced flow path 105 is reduced in pressure due to the reduction of the cross-sectional area of the flow path, and the fluid velocity is increased, thereby maximizing the Bernoulli effect of a general fluid.

Thus, by maximizing the Bernoulli effect according to the flow of the fluid, it is possible to maximize the hydrogen dissolution rate by giving the hydrogen generated by the electrolysis more conditions to be dissolved in the flowing fluid.

The third electrode terminal plate 320 has a disk-like structure and is integrally fastened to one end of the third electrode rod 310 through a fixing screw 330 to form an EDLC forming electrode unit 300. The third electrode terminal plate 320 includes a third electrode terminal plate 320 and a third electrode terminal plate 320. The third electrode terminal plate 320 has a third electrode connection terminal 322 connected to an external power source, Hole 321 are formed at regular intervals.

The micro-channel hole 321 is a passage through which hydrogen-dissolved water is discharged. The micro-channel hole 321 is connected to the water outlet 120a of the water outlet 120 to allow the water to flow out of the electrolytic can 100.

At this time, a circular sealing member 112 is inserted between the electrolytic cylinder 100 and the third electrode terminal plate 320 to increase the sealing force. Also, between the third electrode terminal plate 320 and the water outlet and discharge cylinder 120, A sealing member 113 for preventing leakage of hydrogen water to the outside of the hydrogen storage tank 120a is inserted.

At this time, the electrode of the EDLC forming electrode unit 300 for adsorption (charging) or accumulation of the ionic substance or scale is not limited to the conical shape described above, and the shape of the electrolytic cell 100 may be cylindrical or flat The present invention can be applied to various types of apparatuses to be used according to the needs of the practitioner.

The material of the electrode such as the third electrode 310 may be a sintered body of carbon or carbon nanotubes (CNT), a crane, a sintered body of graphite-oxide, a graphite, a titanium powder, It is preferable to use any one of those obtained by coating a platinum group catalyst with a thickness of 10 mu m or less on the surface.

Particularly, it is preferable to use a sintered material having a hole size of 50 μm or less among the electrodes of the EDLC forming electrode unit 300.

According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the EDLC forming electrode unit 300 and the EDLC forming electrode unit 300 may be formed in the same manner as the EDLC forming electrode unit 300, The electric potential difference between the electrodes 220 and 220 is not within the range where water or electrolyte is not electrolyzed (substantially, even when there is a low potential difference, the electric charge can be moved, It is preferable to apply a potential difference (i.e.

As described above, it is preferable that the electric potential difference between the second electrode unit 220 and the EDLC forming electrode unit 300 is set so as not to cause dissociation of water or electrolyte and thus to prevent electrolysis. Particularly, The potential difference varies depending on the distance between the electrodes, and there are various characteristics of the raw water to be supplied.

The reason why it is very important to apply a potential difference (i.e., voltage) not causing electrolysis between water and electrolyte between the second electrode unit 220 and the EDLC forming electrode unit 300 is that the second electrode unit 220 ) And the EDLC forming electrode unit 300 are in a non-diaphragm state. When electrolysis is performed by the voltage applied to the second electrode unit 220 and the EDLC forming electrode unit 300 in the no-diaphragm state, This is because there is a high risk that harmful substances are contained in the water.

For example, according to the first embodiment of the present invention, when a voltage is applied to the first electrode unit 210 and the second electrode unit 220 of the electrolysis unit 200 and electrolysis occurs, The oxidation reaction occurs in the first electrode unit 210 having a high electric potential and a reduction reaction occurs in the second electrode unit 220 having a relatively lower electric potential than the first electrode unit 210, And the scale moves toward the second electrode unit 220 and is adsorbed and accumulated.

According to the present invention, since the EDLC forming electrode unit 300 having a relatively lower potential than the second electrode unit 220 is disposed at a position adjacent to the second electrode unit 220, Electrode forming unit 300 that is not adsorbed on the second electrode unit 220 but has a relatively lower electric potential than the second electrode unit 220 and adsorbs ions on the third electrode electrode 310 Charging) process occurs.

If a high voltage is applied to the second electrode unit 220 and the EDLC forming electrode unit 300 to cause electrolysis in the raw water, the second electrode unit 220 and the EDLC forming electrode unit 300, The electrolytic decomposition occurs in the non-diaphragmatic part between the first electrode part 300 and the second electrode part 300, and a substance generated by the oxidation reaction in the second electrode part 220 through the electrolysis causes an electrochemical reaction, The substance (for example, ozone (O ₃ ), residual chlorine (Cl ₂ ), etc.) can be dissolved in water intact. Therefore, if there is no separate means for removing harmful substances, there is a risk of being exposed to carcinogenic substances or toxic substances when drinking water by drinking water. Therefore, the second electrode unit 220 and the EDLC forming electrode unit 300, it is preferable that electrolysis is not generated or a potential difference which is minimized is maintained.

In addition, by providing a condition that the EDLC layer can be formed between the second electrode unit 220 and the EDLC forming electrode unit 300 without electrolysis, an ionic substance or the like to be adsorbed on the second electrode unit 220 It is preferable that the scale is moved toward the EDLC forming electrode unit 300 so that the adsorption (charging) process of the ions occurs on the third electrode bar 310. [

As described above, in the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the second electrode unit 220 and the EDLC forming electrode unit 300 are disposed without a diaphragm, A voltage capable of maintaining a potential difference not to cause electrolysis is applied between the forming electrode unit 300 and the dissociation voltage of water or an electrolyte (for example, Generally, the oxidation potential is about + 1.229 V at PH (acidity) 0, the reduction potential is about 0.0 V, the oxidation potential is about +0.401 V at PH (acidity) 14, the reduction potential is about -0.828 V) or less.

A method of applying a voltage for electrolysis between the first electrode unit 210 and the second electrode unit 220 of the electrolysis unit 200 according to the first embodiment of the present invention, A schematic voltage and time change graph is shown in FIG. 10 for a method of applying a voltage to form an EDLC layer between the EDLC forming electrode unit 220 and the EDLC forming electrode unit 300.

10, when the voltage of the first electrode unit 210 is V1, the voltage of the second electrode unit 220 is V2, and the voltage of the EDLC forming electrode unit 300 is V3, in the present invention, V1 > V2 > V3.

Before the electrolysis is performed in the electrolytic unit 200 by introducing the raw water into the electrolytic cell 100, the electrolytic water is supplied between the second electrode unit 220 and the EDLC forming electrode unit 300 for a short time T1. (I.e., less than a dissociation voltage of raw water or other substance of about 2 V or less), the ionic material or scale is adsorbed (i.e., charged) on the side of the EDLC forming electrode unit 300 having a relatively low electric potential 0.0 > EDLC < / RTI > At this time, the first electrode unit 210 is in a state in which power is not supplied in a short-circuit (open) state.

In order to form the EDLC layer before the electrolysis, the time T1 during which a low potential difference (i.e., voltage) is applied between the second electrode unit 220 and the EDLC forming electrode unit 300 is determined by the characteristics of the raw water and the electrolytic apparatus Can be adjusted in any way.

The reason for forming the EDLC layer on the EDLC forming electrode unit 300 before electrolysis is that minerals and other ionic substances contained in the raw water flowing into the electrolysis cell 100 are directed toward the EDLC forming electrode unit 300 To minimize the involvement or influence of electrochemical reactions occurring during the electrolysis process.

In this way, a voltage for forming an EDLC layer is applied between the second electrode unit 220 and the EDLC forming electrode unit 300, and minerals and other ionic substances in the raw water are supplied toward the EDLC forming electrode unit 300 A relatively high voltage is applied to the first electrode unit 210 of the electrolysis unit 200 as compared with the second electrode unit 220 so that electrolysis is performed for a relatively long process time T2 And generates hydrogen, which is dissolved in the raw water in the electrolytic cell 100, so that the hydrogen can be discharged as hydrogen water.

Also, at this time, a relatively low voltage is applied between the second electrode unit 220 and the EDLC forming electrode unit 300, so that the EDLC layer is continuously formed on the EDLC forming electrode unit 300, The ionic material and the scale that are arranged to be arranged toward the two electrode unit 220 are not directly adsorbed to the second electrode unit 220 but are naturally absorbed into the EDLC layer 300 side of the EDLC forming electrode unit 300 having a lower electric potential And is adsorbed.

Then, when the electrolysis is completed in the electrolysis unit 200, a reverse potential is immediately applied between the second electrode unit 220 and the EDLC forming electrode unit 300 through the switching change during the short inversion time T3 It is preferable that a process of desorbing (discharging) the accumulated ionic material adsorbed by the third electrode rod 310 formed on the EDLC layer 300 of the main EDLC forming electrode unit 300 and finally removing the ionic material into the raw water is performed.

At this time, a reverse electric potential is applied between the second electrode unit 220 and the EDLC forming electrode unit 300, so that the first electrode unit (not shown) is attracted to the third electrode rod 310, 210 are short-circuited and remain open.

Since the ionic material and the scale are not adsorbed to the second electrode unit 220 without applying a reverse potential between the second electrode unit 220 and the EDLC forming electrode unit 300, It is natural that the durability of the device is greatly improved.

Particularly, as mentioned in the prior art, it is common to give a reverse potential to remove ionic substances and scales adsorbed on the electrodes during electrolysis. However, when a catalyst layer and an electrode layer are impregnated together with some ion exchange membranes, The carbon layer is used as the gas diffusion layer and the hydrophilic material. At this time, when the reverse potential is applied, the oxidation of the carbon layer is increased and the resistance value of the electrode is increased. As a result, there is a phenomenon that the efficiency of electrolysis is drastically decreased.

Therefore, in this case, since it is not possible to apply a reverse potential to the same electrode after electrolysis, in the present invention, the EDLC layer is induced using the EDLC forming electrode unit 300 having a relatively lower potential than the second electrode unit 220 By applying a reverse potential to the electrode of the EDLC forming electrode unit 300 in which the EDLC layer is induced, it is not necessary to apply a reverse potential in the electrolysis unit 200, thereby protecting and damaging the catalyst layer for electrolysis .

Particularly, according to the first embodiment of the present invention, by proposing a method of maximizing the Bernoulli effect by gradually reducing the cross-sectional area of the flow path in the outflow direction by the third electrode rod 310, It is also possible to maximize the hydrogen dissolution rate in the raw water flowing along the flow path 105.

In addition, raw water is guided to flow through the screw member 140, which will be described later, while flowing along the flow path 105 in the spiral direction formed in the screw member 140, so that raw water flows around the electrolytic unit 200 while flowing So that the contact time between the raw water and the electrolysis part 200 can be maximized and the hydrogen gas generated by the electrolysis is micro-nanoized (that is, hydrogen is bubbled) And the surface area of the bubbles in contact with the water is increased, thereby maximizing the amount of hydrogen dissolved in water.

That is, according to the first embodiment of the present invention, a flow path structure capable of realizing a condition that hydrogen generated through electrolysis in the raw water flowing along the flow path 105 of the electrolytic cell 100 can be more dissolved Which is a feature of the system.

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4A and 4B, the electrolytic cell 100 is provided with a flow path 105 for pressurizing the raw water to be introduced so as to gradually induce the flow rate while rotating the raw water And a separate screw member 140 is inserted and assembled.

The screw member 140 has a spiral screw and a helical flow path 105 is formed along the helical screw. A third electrode rod 310 having a conical shape is inserted into the screw member 140, And the flow path structure is gradually reduced in the outflow direction.

At this time, the helical flow passage 105 formed by the screw member 140 allows the number of pitches of the helical flow passage to increase gradually per unit length (that is, to make the pitch interval gradually shorter) And the cross-sectional area of the third electrode rod 310 is reduced in the vertical direction of the fluid flowing through the spiral-shaped screw due to the structure of the third electrode rod 310.

8, according to the modified embodiment of the present invention, in addition to the method of separately manufacturing the screw member 140 and inserting the assembly into the electrolytic cell 100, The structure in which the screw 104 is integrally formed on the inner circumferential surface of the electrolytic cylinder 100 as described above can also be achieved by inserting the screw member 140 It is possible to obtain the same effect as the above.

However, the method of uniformly forming the pitches of the screws 104 while integrally forming the screws 104 on the inner circumferential surface of the electrolytic cylinder 100 can be easily implemented, It is somewhat complicated in manufacturing the mold and requires precision, which is difficult to process.

However, the pitch interval of the screw 104 may be shortened so that it can be sufficiently realized in the present mold technology.
