Description

Sterilizing and cleaning apparatus using ultra sonic sound and electrolyzed water}

The present invention relates to a device for cleaning and sterilizing using electrolyzed water, and more particularly, to a device capable of sterilizing and washing fruits or vegetables using hypochlorous acid water, ultrasonic waves, and a UV lamp.

Hypochlorous acid water refers to an aqueous solution of hypochlorous acid (molecular formula: HOCl). Hypochlorous acid water is classified into strong acid hypochlorous acid water, weak acid hypochlorous acid water, and weak acid hypochlorous acid water. Hypochlorous acid water is mainly used for sterilization and disinfection. Approved as disinfectant water.

Strongly acidic hypochlorous acid water is generated at the anode (+) side by electrolyzing a salt solution of 0.2% or less in a diaphragm electrolyzer. It is composed of Cl2) 15 ~ 20% and hypochlorous acid 80 ~ 85%. At the same time, strong alkaline electrolytic water of pH 11.3 ~ 11.7 containing caustic soda (NaOH) is generated on the cathode (-) side. Strong alkaline electrolyzed water has excellent cleaning power due to hydroxyl ion (H3O2-), which acts as a natural surfactant created by the reaction of H2O and OH- in the electrolysis process.

Strongly acidic hypochlorous acid water and strong alkaline electrolyzed water are commonly referred to as strong electrolyzed seawater, but strong electrolyzed seawater is vegetable. Sterilization and disinfection of food raw materials such as fruit and fish meat, washing and sterilization of tanks and pipes in milk processing plants, cleaning and sterilization of instruments and tools such as endoscopes and dialysis machines in hospitals, etc. , If the method of sterilization and disinfection with strong acidic hypochlorous acid water is taken, the strong alkaline electrolyzed water cleans and removes organic substances and biofilms on the surface to be disinfected, so sterilization is 10 to 30 times greater than in the case of single use of strong acidic hypochlorous acid water. effect rises. In crop cultivation, strong acidic hypochlorous acid water can be sprayed on foliage to prevent crop diseases such as powdery mildew and gray mold, and strong alkaline electrolytic water can be used as soil irrigation to prevent soil acidification and promote crop growth. Varies. The effective chlorine concentration of strong acidic hypochlorous acid water is produced in the range of 20 ~ 80ppm.

Electrolyzed water generating devices that generate acidic hypochlorous acid water and alkaline electrolyzed water have been scientifically proven for a long time, and acidic hypochlorous acid water and alkaline electrolyzed water obtained through such electrolyzed water generating devices have been widely used as disinfectants and disinfectants and detergents.

Looking at the prior art in this field, as disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 10-258258, the cathode chamber and the anode chamber of an electrolytic cell having an electronic control device for controlling an electrolytic water generation process and having an ion exchange membrane installed between the cathode chamber and the anode chamber. Raw water (raw water: tap water, etc.) is supplied to each to produce acidic hypochlorous acid water and alkaline electrolyzed water.

In the electrolytic water generating device, the cathode and anode for electrolysis use a conductor selected from platinum, ruthenium, chromium, iron, titanium, manganese, tungsten, aluminum, alloys thereof, and oxides thereof, and the ion exchange membrane is Ion exchange is facilitated by using a microporous metal sheet, a hydrocarbon-based porous polymer sheet, or a fluorocarbon-based porous polymer sheet.

The electrode for electrolysis of the electrolytic water generator uses platinum, iron, or an alloy thereof to perform electrolysis. In particular, in the case of an iron-based oxide, metal components are dissolved during electrolysis to hinder the flow of current or corrode the metal. Due to this, there is a case in which the electrolytic treatment is hindered, and as a result, the smoothness of ion exchange is hindered, and the problem of greatly degrading the electrolysis performance due to the durability and abrasion resistance of the electrode has been pointed out.

Conventional electrolytic water generators have weak cleaning and sterilization effects or use only electrolytic water to wash and sterilize, so there are cases where the cleaning and sterilization effects are not achieved as intended in various washing objects and washing situations.

In particular, along with the recent increasing interest in food hygiene, the importance of hygiene problems of foods consumed on a daily basis, especially fruits and vegetables, is increasing. Currently, most washing devices use ozone. However, ozone itself is harmful, and there are limitations such as not being able to check water PPM data and being unable to thoroughly remove harmful substances.
