Description

Electrolysis sterilization module}

The present invention relates to a sterilization module, and more particularly, to an electrolysis sterilization module for converting the obtained raw water into electrolyzed electrolyzed water by electrolyzing it to discharge water.

In recent years, as the well-being wind blows overall, high water quality is required for water that people use or drink. In particular, the use of water purifiers is becoming more popular as the demand for the water quality of the drinking water source increases in each household as they are more interested in drinking water sources directly connected to people's health.

To this end, an electrolyzed water generating device has been developed that separates and discharges water into alkaline water (cathode water) and acidic water (anode water), which is drinking water containing inorganic substances of cation, by electrolyzing water. A water purification system having a water purification function configured to discharge the purified water through an electrolytic sterilization module, which is an electrolytic cell, has been released.

In the electrolytic sterilization module, when water is placed in a main body in which a diaphragm is installed between an electrode plate composed of an anode and a cathode, and then direct current is passed, calcium (Ca), potassium (K), magnesium (Mg), sodium ( Alkaline water is generated as metal alkaline cations such as Na) and hydrogen cations are attracted, and acidic water is generated by attracting anions such as chloride ions, carbonate ions, lactic acid ions, and nitrate ions to the anode.

That is, a water purifier having an electrolysis module, which is an electrolysis module, provides drinking water with weak alkaline water of pH 7.4 to 8.5 that can be consumed by electrolyzing water, and the structure of this water purifier includes an electrolysis module in which electrolysis occurs, and the It can be composed of a water purification unit for drinking by purifying weak alkaline water generated by electrolysis through an electrolysis module.

In addition, on the ceiling surface of the first electrolytic body 10, the distance between the first and second electrode plates 31 and 32 arranged in parallel as shown in FIGS. 3, 7 and 8 The center consisting of a pair of outer upper support jaws (14a, 14b) formed in a pair to fix the position by contacting the upper both sides of the first and second electrode plates and the upper central borders of the first and second electrode plates while maintaining constant It may include an upper support jaw (14c).

At this time, the lower end of the outer upper support jaws 14a and 14b and the lower end of the central upper support jaw 14c are provided in the shape of a mountain cross-section in which the width of each end becomes narrower downward, so that the second electrolytic body 20 ), the first and second terminal holes (21, 22) of the second electrolytic body (20) when vertically assembled with the first electrolytic body (10) in a state where the electrolysis unit (30) is installed and mounted. The first and second electrode plates 31 and 32 are fixed by correspondingly inserting the first and second terminal pins 33 and 34 between the outer upper support jaws 14a and 14b formed in a pair, and the center consisting of a pair. It is possible to prevent defects in assembly between the upper support jaws (14c) while performing the work of assembling the first and second electrolytic bodies smoothly while being properly positioned without being jammed between them.

And, as shown in Figs. 2 and 4, on the upper surface of the second electrolytic body 20, the distance between the first and second electrode plates 31 and 32 arranged in parallel is kept constant. While the first and second electrode plates may include a pair of outer lower support protrusions 25a and 25b in contact with the lower two side edges of the first and second electrode plates to fix the positions thereof.

At this time, the outer lower supporting protrusions 25a facing the communication port P are in contact with the lower edge of the first and second electrode plates 31 and 32 to determine the assembly positions of the first and second electrode plates. By doing so, when the electrolysis unit 30 is installed and mounted on the second electrolytic body 20, the extension rib 15 of the first electrolytic body 10 is assembled vertically with the first electrolytic body 10. The first and second electrode plates 31 and 32 are prevented from being caught, so that the first and second electrolytic bodies can be combined and assembled smoothly, while preventing defects in assembly between them.

The first electrode plate 31 includes a first upper connecting piece 31b that is caught by contacting an upper end of the first terminal pin 33 passing through the first lower connecting piece 31a protruding from one side thereof.

At this time, the inner diameter of the first lower connecting piece 31a protruding in an arc-shaped cross-section on one side of the first electrode plate 31 is equal to the outer diameter of the first terminal pin so that the first terminal pin 33 passes through it. While provided with the same or larger size, the inner diameter of the first upper connecting piece 31b is preferably provided with a size smaller than the outer diameter of the first terminal pin so as to be supported in contact with the upper end of the first terminal pin.

In this case, the inner diameter center of the first terminal pin 33 passing through the first lower connecting piece and the first intermediate connecting piece coincides with the first electrode plate 31 so that the first electrode plate is coupled to the first electrode plate. Since the spacing between the and the second electrode plates disposed on both sides thereof can be kept equal and constant, the electrolysis efficiency for the raw water passing between the electrode plates adjacent to each other can be uniformly and uniformly maintained.

Each side of the second electrode plate 32 disposed in parallel to face both sides of the first electrode plate 31 has a second lower connecting piece 32a protruding in the same manner as the first electrode plate. The upper end of the terminal pin 34 includes a second upper connecting piece 32b that is in contact with it.

In addition, the inner partition wall 13 corresponding to the second electrode plate 32 disposed in parallel on both sides of the first electrode plate 31 is vertically disposed between the second electrolytic body 20 and the first electrolytic body 10. The second upper and lower connecting pieces 32a, 32b and press grooves 32c protruding from one side of the second electrode plate prevent interference with the electrolysis unit 30 mounted on the second electrolytic body during combined assembly. It is preferable to provide a first protruding portion 13a having a substantially arc-shaped cross section that is protruded outward so as to be able to be performed.

The second upper and lower connecting pieces 32a and 32b and the press groove 32c protruding from one side of the second electrode plate are opposed to the first protruding molded part 13a, thereby corresponding to the inner partition wall 13 Since one side of the second electrode plate can be brought as close as possible to or close to the inner surface of the inner partition wall, most of the raw water flowing into the electrolytic space is the first electrode plate 31 and the second electrode plate where electrolysis is performed. On the other hand, it is possible to increase the electrolysis efficiency of the raw water per hour in the electrolysis space while preventing the raw water from being bypassed between the inner partition wall and the first electrode plate where electrolysis is not performed.
