Description

Electrolyzed water generator {Apparatus for manufacturing ionic water}

The present invention relates to an electrolytic water generating device for producing electrolytic water.

When direct current is applied to the electrodes contained in the raw water, the raw water is electrolyzed to form hydrogen ions (H +) and hydroxyl ions (OH-). Acidic water is water containing a relatively large amount of hydrogen ions, and alkaline water is water containing a relatively large amount of hydroxyl ions. At this time, if an ion exchange diaphragm is provided between the electrodes, hydrogen ions move to the electrode to which electricity is applied, and hydroxyl ions move to the electrode to which the electricity is applied. Separated into acidic and alkaline water.

Alkaline water in electrolyzed water is very useful for human body when drinking because of its characteristics, and it is also used for the treatment of gastrointestinal diseases, high blood pressure, diabetes, neuralgia, etc. Also, strong alkaline water can promote the growth of crops and improve soil, and it is a synthetic detergent. It is also used to clean dirty objects without using. In addition, acidic water is widely used for sterilization of medical water, sterilization of food manufacturing process, removal of odor of livestock, and disinfection sterilization. In addition, a lot of research is being conducted on the application fields of acidic and alkaline water, and on the other hand, the demand for electrolyzed water is increasing. Therefore, various electrolytic water generating apparatuses for effectively producing electrolytic water have been developed.

The present invention is devised to reflect the above-described trend, and an object of the present invention is to provide an electrolyzed water generating apparatus that can effectively produce electrolyzed water.

It is. As such, the scope of the present invention is not limited by the number of electrolytic cell plates.

Next, the operation of the electrolyzed water generator having such a structure will be described.

Raw water, such as tap water or groundwater, flows into the first and second raw water inlet holes 111 and 112 of the upper plate 110 through the raw water inflow passage 201 of the flow path forming unit 200. However, the first raw water inflow hole 111 is in communication with the first inflow hole 131 of the first electrolytic cell plate 130, but is separated from the first inflow groove 133, and thus, the first inflow hole 131. The raw water introduced into) passes through the surface of the second electrode plate P2 of the second electrolytic cell plate 140 after passing through the first inflow through hole 131. On the other hand, since the second raw water inlet 112 is in communication with the first electrode plate P1 through the first inlet groove 133, the raw water introduced into the first inlet groove 133 is the first electrode plate (P1). It flows on the surface. In this state, when electricity is supplied to the first and second electrode plates P1 and P2, the raw water is separated into hydrogen ions (H +) and hydroxyl ions (OH-). Water containing a lot of hydrogen ions is called acidic water. , Water containing a lot of hydroxide ions is called alkaline water.

If − − electricity is applied to the first electrode plate P1 and + electricity is applied to the second electrode plate P2, the H + ions and OH− ions move through the ion-exchangeable diaphragm 150, thereby providing a first electrode plate. H + ions, i.e., acidic water, are collected between the P1 and the ion-exchangeable membrane 150, and OH- ions, that is, alkaline water, are collected between the second electrode plate P2 and the ion-exchangeable membrane 150.

As described above, in the case where − electricity is applied to the first electrode plate P1 and + electricity is applied to the second electrode plate P2, a lot of acidic water is present on the P1 electrode plate side and a lot of alkaline water is present on the P2 electrode plate side. . Accordingly, the acidic water is discharged to the outside through the first outflow groove 134 of the first electrolyte tank plate 130 and the first electrolyte flow path 203 of the flow path forming unit 200 to the incoming raw water (dotted line). Arrow), and the flow path forming unit 200 after passing through the second outflow groove 144 of the second electrolytic cell plate 140 and the first outflow hole 132 of the first electrolytic cell plate to the raw water flowing into the alkaline water. Is discharged to the outside through the second electrolytic water outflow passage (204) (see solid line arrow).

On the other hand, when the user requests more acidic water or alkaline water, the first partition 208 or the second partition 209 of the flow path forming unit 200 is removed. That is, when more acidic water is needed, the 1st partition 208 is removed, and when more alkali water is needed, the 2nd partition 209 is removed.

The present invention has been described as applying − electricity to the first electrode plate P1 and + electricity to the second electrode plate P2. However, if the polarity of the pole plates is changed, the discharge passages of generated acidic and alkaline water are generated. Will be different. Then, three, four or more electrolytic cell plates with pole plates installed are laminated in the same manner as described above, and ion exchangeable diaphragms are installed on each of the electrolytic cell plates. If is applied, the amount of acidic or alkaline water generated can be increased.

Although the present invention has been described with reference to the above embodiments, this is only one embodiment, and those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains may realize various other embodiments therefrom.

According to the electrolytic water generating device according to the present invention, it is possible to generate more acidic and alkaline water by simply increasing the number of electrolytic cell plates on which the electrode plates are installed, thereby making it more efficient to produce electrolytic water.

In addition, the user can remove the first partition or the second partition, there is an effect that can facilitate the adjustment of the generated acidic or alkaline water production rate.
