Description

Water treatment tool {WATER-TREATING DEVICE}

The present invention relates to a water treatment tool for performing water purification and antibacterial treatment on a liquid (=water or cosmetic liquid) supplied to a companion animal or human.

In general, companion animals are animals that live with humans, respect the various benefits of animals to humans, and have the meaning of seeing them as beings that live together, not as toys. Here, the companion animal refers to a dog, cat, fish, horse, and bird.

For the development of the invention, the companion animal is limited to dogs and cats in the description of the prior art, and later expands to fish and horses and birds along with dogs and cats in the present invention. In the prior art, the water supply container for the companion animal receives water over a long period of time due to the busy life of modern people and the reduction in the average number of household members, and thus has naturally rotten water.

In addition, the water in the water supply container is mixed with the saliva of the companion animal due to repeated contact with the tongue of the companion animal, thereby breeding contaminants and pathogens over time, thereby deteriorating the companion animal's health. The pollutant source is volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that cause odor from rotten water.

The pathogens are known as Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Candida albicans that propagate in rotten water. The contaminants and pathogens cause a nervous reaction in the companion animal by generating a jaw in the jaw of the companion animal that repeatedly contacts the water supply container.

The water supply container is made of a plastic container. The plastic container is impacted from the outside during a water exchange process, a place moving process, or a washing process to generate a fine scratch, and has a contaminant and a pathogen along the scratch mark. As a countermeasure against this, recently, the water supply container has been manufactured by applying a water purification function.

However, the water supply container uses a water purification function to remove contaminants, but does not sufficiently treat pathogens, thus still jeopardizing the health of companion animals. Meanwhile, the water supply container is similarly disclosed in Korean Patent Publication No. 10-1661585 and Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2020-0012166 as prior art.

On the other hand, when the reservoir body 126 and the channel extension cover 127, 129 have a portion 125 for supplying liquid from the container 150 to the porous block 115, the inside of the reservoir body 126 It has a non-woven fabric (94 in Fig. 6A) covering the portion 125 of the water storage body 126. The nonwoven fabric 94 includes polypropylene or polyethylene in the pulp.

Next, FIGS. 9A to 9D are schematic diagrams illustrating a method of using the water treatment tool according to the present invention, and FIGS. 10A to 10D are diagrams showing the antibacterial treatment capability of the porous block in the water treatment tool of FIG. 1 or FIG. 6A or 8. It is a graph.

9 and 10, a water treatment tool 104 or 108 or 140 may be prepared. The water treatment tool (104 or 108 or 140) is a water storage body (10 or 40) and a water channel lid (20 or 60), or a porous block (81 or) surrounded by a water storage body 126 and a water channel extension cover (127, 129). 115).

Next, a water treatment tool 104 or 108 or 140 is mounted on a container (150 in FIG. 9A, 160 in FIG. 9B, or 170 in FIG. 9C, or 180 in FIG. 9D), and the container 150 or 160 or 170 or 180 ) Of liquid (=water or cosmetic liquid). Here, in order to explain the antibacterial effect of the porous block 81 or 115 on the liquid, an experiment was performed as follows.

In the above experiment, as test strains, Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) ATCC 6538 and Escherichia coli (E. coli) ATCC 8739 and Pseudomonas aeruginosa; P. aeruginosa ATCC 9027 and Candida bacteria (Candida) albicans; C. albicans) ATCC 10231 is prepared.

The Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) ATCC 6538 and Escherichia coli (E. coli) ATCC 8739 and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) ATCC 9027 were inoculated on agar medium (Nutrient agar; NA). do. In addition, the Candida bacteria (Candida albicans; C. albicans) ATCC 10231 is inoculated on Potato Dextroseagar (PDA).

The agar medium (NA) and potato dextrose agar medium (PDA) were cultured together with the test strain at 32° C. for 1-2 days to obtain a colony forming unit (CFU) of 105 to 108 cfu/ml in individual medium. After formation, it is diluted in sterile physiological saline to prepare a bacterial solution.

After the bacteriostatic solution is prepared, a 10% test solution by adding a porous block (= sample; 81 or 115) divided into several pieces to sterile physiological saline solution (however, {sample/(sterile physiological saline + sample)} X 100 = 10%) is produced. 10 ml of the test solution and 0.1 ml of the bacterial solution were mixed and left at 32°C to make viable cells for 3 hours, 6 hours, 9 hours and 24 hours, and then the dilution culture method was applied to the number of viable cells for each measurement time. Alternatively, the antimicrobial effect of 115) is measured.

The antimicrobial effect of the porous block 81 or 115 is shown in FIGS. 10A to 10D. In FIGS. 10A to 10D, the porous block 81 or 115 shows an antibacterial effect of 90% or more from the number of viable cells for 3 hours, and shows an antimicrobial effect of sterilizing the test strain by 99% or more after 6 hours.

Thus, the water treatment tool 104 or 108 or 140 removes contaminants from the liquid through activated carbon in the vessel 150 or 160 or 170 or 180 and has antibacterial activity against the liquid through silver (Ag).
