Description

Electrolyzed acid-water generator with three-way valves

The present invention relates to an oxidizing electrolyzed water generator, and in particular, a device made of acidic water by installing a ball made of silicon which is rotationally driven by a motor to determine a discharge direction of water received in a three-way valve having an inlet port and two outlet ports. The present invention relates to an oxidized electrolyzed water generator which hardly generates corrosion and prevents clogging of the discharge port by foreign substances, thereby ensuring reliability of operation for a long time.

From the cultivation to harvesting of vegetables, surface contamination caused by microorganisms and other contaminants becomes a problem. Especially, microbial contamination is not only degrading the quality of fresh vegetables but also harmful to humans. Do. To this end, at present, most chemical synthetic fungicides are used. However, the use of chemical synthetic fungicides is limited due to their harmfulness to the human body, and thus, development of new sterilization methods is required. Already in foreign countries, we are focusing on the development of sterilization technology that has no harm to human body without affecting freshness, and considering the fact that it is partly applied to the distribution of fruits and vegetables to promote the improvement of quality. It is very necessary to develop the surface sterilization technique of vegetables.

Recently, interest in water treatment methods using various functional water, such as electrolysis treatment, magnetic treatment, electric field treatment, near-infrared treatment, etc. has been increasing, and particularly, the treatment of electrolyzed acid-water for food processing, plant cultivation, medicine, etc. A wide range of applications and approaches have been tried.

Looking at the basic operation of the generator for generating the oxidized electrolytic water, the raw water is decompressed in the pressure reducing valve, and then through the heat dissipation rod and the mixer leads to the electrolysis device electrolytic cell. Raw water obtained in the electrolytic cell is separated into acidic water and alkaline water and discharged.

After electrolysis in the electrolyzer for a certain time, cleaning is automatically performed to increase the efficiency of the electrolyzer. Therefore, since the water discharged during the normal operation and the cleaning operation is different, it is necessary to pass water through the respective discharge ports using valves.

1 is a schematic diagram of a valve for switching a flow path of an oxidized electrolytic water generator according to the prior art.

The flow switching valve of the conventional oxidation electrolyzed water generator is in the same direction as the inlet ports (21,31) and the inlet ports (21,31) to which the alkaline water electrolyzed in the electrolytic cell (10) as shown in FIG. In the valve housings 25 and 35 formed of two discharge ports 23, 24, 33 and 34 divided into two paths, and the discharge ports 23, 24, 33 and 34 of the valve housings 25 and 35, respectively. It is composed of solenoid valves 22, 22a, 32, 32a provided, and two valves 20, 30 are used to obtain alkaline water and acidic water.

In Fig. 1, reference numeral 11 denotes a discharge port of the electrolytic cell 10 through which acidic water is discharged, reference numeral 12 denotes a discharge port through which alkaline water is discharged, and reference numeral 13 denotes an inlet through which raw water is obtained.

As shown in FIG. 1, when power is applied to the first power supply 41 of the control unit 40, the alkaline water and the acidic water electrolyzed in the electrolytic cell 10 are respectively the alkaline water discharge port 12 and the acidic water discharge port. It is obtained through the inflow ports 21 and 31 of each of the alkaline water valve 20 and the acidic water valve 30 through 11, and since the second power source 42 is not applied, the solenoid valve 22a for cleaning. (32a) does not operate and the solenoid valves 22 and 32 for discharging alkaline water and acidic water are operated so that the alkali water and the acidic water obtained through the alkaline water inlet port 21 and the acidic water inlet port 31 are respectively alkaline water. The water is discharged through the acidic water discharge ports 23 and 33.

On the contrary, in the case where the electrolytic cell 10 is cleaned without electrolysis, the washing water discharged through the discharge ports 11 and 12 of the electrolytic cell 10 is supplied to the inlet ports 21, respectively of the valves 20 and 30. 31), power is applied to the second power supply 42 so that the solenoid valves 22a and 32a for cleaning are operated and the solenoid valves 22 and 32 for discharging alkaline and acidic water are not operated. The washing water is drained through the washing water discharge ports 24 and 34.

However, in the conventional flow switching valve of the oxidizing electrolyzed water generator, alkali water, acidic water, and washing water pass by opening the inner diameter of about 1-2 mm according to the operation of the solenoid valves 22, 22a, 32, and 32a. Since the solenoid valves 22, 22a, 32, and 32a are corroded by acidic water, there is a problem in that they do not function properly.

In addition, since alkaline water contains a large amount of foreign substances such as calcium and lime, these foreign substances block an inner diameter of 1 to 2 mm opened by the solenoid valves 22, 22a, 32, and 32a, and frequently blockages occur or completely. There is a problem that the blockage is impossible to normal operation.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems of the prior art, using a three-way valve as the flow path switching valve of the oxidized electrolytic water generator, the inlet port and the discharge port is a right angle and the flow path is a silicon ball driven by a motor The purpose of the present invention is to provide an oxidized electrolyzed water generator which can prevent corrosion and operate normally without a blockage even for a long period of use.
