Description

Alkali cool and hot water ionizing purifier

The present invention relates to an alkaline ionizer that can ionize water into alkaline water, and more particularly, to provide cold alkaline water that is continuously purified by integrally forming an electrolytic cell and a cooling reservoir to perform electrolysis and cooling of purified water at the same time. It relates to an alkali cold and hot water ionizer.

Recently, with the development of industry, living conditions are getting significantly better than in the past, and the interest in functional water rather than simply purified water is increasing. In particular, among the various functional waters, which have been in the spotlight recently, ionized water groups that can ionize water have been actively developed and introduced.

In general, an ionizer is electrolyzed through a current of neutral water having a pH value of about 7 and separated into acidic water having a pH of 7 or less and alkaline water (alkaline ionic water) having a pH of 7 or higher to obtain ionized water, that is, ionized water. The reaction principle is that when the current flows from the power supply to the positive and negative electrodes installed on the diaphragm which passes only the ions inside the electrolyzer, the cathode receives electrons and a reduction reaction occurs, generating hydroxide ions and hydrogen to generate alkaline ionized water. It is produced, and the anode loses electrons and undergoes an oxidation reaction, generating hydrogen ions and oxygen to generate acidic ionized water.

When foods we eat and drink are decomposed, acid and free radicals are produced. These acids become toxins as metabolites, and free radicals oxidize our bodies. When oxygen enters the body, harmful free radicals that accumulate needlessly are cell membranes and biological membranes. It causes oxidative damage to genes and causes various cancers and lifestyle diseases.

Alkaline ionized water neutralizes this acid and releases it out of the body to balance acid and alkali, remove free radicals, and help to convert acidified body fluids into weak alkalis. As alkaline ionized water rises in temperature, the pH or ORP (energy of water) decreases, so it is better to eat it at room temperature or low temperature if possible. Especially, it is cold alkaline about 4-6 ℃ because it is 25 ℃ lower than body temperature. Taking ionized water is effective.

For this reason, an alkaline cold hot water ionizer, which is a cold or hot alkaline water production apparatus capable of simultaneously producing an alkaline functional water (ionized water) and a low temperature water by combining an electrolytic cell of an existing cold / hot water purifier and a simple alkaline ionized water group, has recently been developed. Alkali cold and hot water ionizers can be roughly divided into two types, such as "cold alkaline water production machine" of the utility model registration application 2001-0034625 and the "ion cold and hot water purifier" of utility model registration application 2001-00l9363.

Figure 1 shows the configuration of the "cold alkaline water production machine" of the patent application No. 20-2001-0034625, the tap water is passed through the composite filter (2) to purify and supplied to the electrolytic cell (7) by acidic ionized water and alkaline ionized water Ionized water, acidic ionized water is discharged through the acidic water outlet (12), alkaline ionized water is sterilized through a sterilizer (34), cooled in the cooling reservoir (6), and cooled. Extraction (13) through (13) makes it possible to drink.

However, when the alkaline ionized water generated through the electrolytic cell (7) is stored and used in the cooling reservoir (6), when the user does not use the alkaline ionized water immediately and passes in the cooling reservoir (6) for a long time, the ionic component of the alkaline water is passed. This disappears and the pH is gradually lowered. As the use time of the ionizer is passed, Ca component becomes a crystal in the ionized water stored in the cooling reservoir 6 and condenses on the wall of the cooling reservoir 6 so that it is scaleable contaminants. There was a problem remaining.

Figure 2 shows the configuration of the "ion cold and hot water purifier" of Utility Model Registration No. 2001-00l9363, purified by tap water through a number of filters (2) to cool the water storage tank (6), and then cooled Purified water is supplied to the electrolytic cell (7) through a circulation pressure pump (9) and ionized, and cold ionized water is extracted through the alkaline outlet (13) for drinking and storing the cooled ionized water for a long time. Even if you do not claim to be able to drink immediately without loss of ions.

That is, the water flowing into the electrolytic cell 7 generates acidic ionized water and alkaline ionized water by the movement of ionic molecules through a diaphragm of micropores (0.01-0.04㎛) installed between the + and-poles. In the + side, phosphorus and sulfur, which are-ions, are collected and about 30% of acidic ionized water is extracted. In the-side, approximately 70% of drinking alkaline ionized water is provided with alkaline minerals such as calcium, magnesium and sodium. Will be extracted.

Therefore, as the cooling cooling water flowing into the electrolytic cell 7 is discharged to the acidic ionized water during the electrolysis process which is inevitably passed in the process of extracting the alkaline ionized water for drinking through the electrolytic cell 7, the cooling reservoir as much as the discharged amount The temperature of the water in the cooling reservoir 6 rises rapidly due to the constant temperature introduced into (6), and as a result, the extraction amount of the cold alkaline ionized water also has a problem.

In addition, when it is not used for a long time, the water in the electrolytic cell 7 is at room temperature. As a result, when the apparatus is operated again to extract alkaline water, the alkaline water in the electrolytic cell 7 is extracted and cold alkaline water is extracted from the beginning. There was a limitation that it could not be extracted.

Therefore, the present invention was developed to solve all the disadvantages of the conventional alkali cold and hot water ionizers as described above, and the purified water purified through the filter is continuously cooled through a cooling electrolytic water tank equipped with a cooling water tank and an electrolytic cell. An object of the present invention is to provide an alkali cold / hot water ionizer that can drink alkaline ionized water.

That is, as in the conventional alkali cold and hot water ionizer, an electrolytic cell and a cooling reservoir are separately provided to ionize purified water through an electrolytic cell, and then prepare and store cold water and store the water supply, or cool the purified water and then supply the water through an electrolytic cell. In contrast, the cooling reservoir and the electrolytic bath is provided integrally to provide an alkaline cold hot water ionizer capable of continuously supplying a large amount of clean cold alkaline water from the beginning to operate the purified purified water in a clean state without contaminants. In addition, the conventional cold and hot water purifier is equipped with an electrolytic cell and a control unit without any difficulty in order to be able to manufacture expensive alkaline cold and hot water ionizer at low cost.

The outside of the electrolytic cell in the cooling reservoir The separator is divided into a lower space and an upper space, and a cooling electrolyzer water tank is formed so that an acidic water outlet and an alkaline water outlet for extracting the ionized acidic and alkaline ionized water from the electrolytic cell are respectively disposed outside the cooling reservoir. do.

In particular, the cooling water tank is formed in both sides of the separation plate through which the purified water through hole in which the purified water of the upper space moves to the lower space and the inlet through hole through which the settling inlet from the circulating pressure pump passes. As the inlet is connected, the heated water outlet is connected to one side of the hot water tank. In addition, the hot water tank is characterized in that the hot water inlet is connected to the branch pipe is installed in the purified water inlet is not connected to the cooling water reservoir so that the purified water can be directly introduced without passing through the cooling reservoir.

That is, the circulation pressurizing pump and the electrolytic cell are separated into an integrated lid on the upper side of the cooling reservoir to facilitate the detachment, attachment, replacement and cleaning of the cooling reservoir, and the electrolytic cell is deposited on the cooled purified water inside the cooling reservoir. By preventing the heat generated in the electrolytic reaction in advance, it is possible to prevent the temperature rise of parts and water inside the electrolyzer. When the alkali cold / hot water ionizer of the present invention is operated, the water inside the cold reservoir is immediately moved to the electrolyzer by the circulation pressure pump. It is configured to extract cold and clean alkaline ionized water from the beginning.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings, the configuration and operation of the subject innovation will be described in detail.

Figure 3 shows the structure of an alkaline cold ionizer formed by the basic embodiment of the present invention, a multi-stage composite filter 2 (normally pre-filter, carbon filter) is generally known tap water flowing through the water supply pipe (1) , Consisting of a silver carbon filter and a post carbon filter), and the composite filter 2 may be equipped with an additional filter such as a functional filter as necessary.

First, the purified water purified through the composite filter (2) flows into the cooling electrolyzer reservoir (40) equipped with the cooling reservoir (6) and the electrolyzer (7) integrally through the purified water inlet (35) and cooled. At the same time, the electrolytic ionization is carried out, the cooling reservoir (6) that forms the external configuration of the cooling electrolytic reservoir 40 is stored only when the purified water when the ionizer does not operate, that is, do not extract the ionized water, the user is ionized water When extracting the electrolytic cell (7) which forms the internal configuration of the cooling electrolytic reservoir (40) of the present invention is located in the circulation pressure pump (9) and the cooling reservoir (6) located above the cooling reservoir (6) It will run at the same time.

That is, as the electrolyzer 7 and the pressurized circulation pump 9 are operated, water (purified water) of the cooling reservoir 6 is introduced into the electrolyzer 7 through the precipitation inlet 10, thereby generating ionized water by electric reaction. As a result, the acidic water outlet 12 and the alkaline water outlet 13 exposed to the outside of the cooling reservoir 6 are extracted. At this time, the acidic water through the acidic water outlet 12 may be discharged, but may be configured to be extracted and used by the user for other purposes as necessary.

In addition, the cooling of the cooling reservoir 6 is applied to a vapor pressure refrigerator consisting of a compressor 16, a condenser 17, an evaporator, and an expansion valve, which is generally applied to a cold water heater, and, as is well known, passed through the condenser 17. The coolant is cooled by gas liquefaction heat passing through the cooler tube 19 wound outside the cooling reservoir 6 through the dryer 18 and the capillary tube 32.

In addition, the circulation pressure pump 9 moves the water in the cooling reservoir 6 into the electrolytic cell 7 and converts the signal applied from the control unit (not shown) into the flow rate according to the pH requirement of the user to the electrolytic cell 7. ) To properly adjust the pressure of the water flowing into. In addition, the separation plate 20 which is provided inside the cooling reservoir 6 and partitions the inside of the cooling reservoir 6 into an upper space and a lower space is discharged from the electrolytic cell 7, that is, purified water at room temperature introduced by ion water. Prevents mixing with and increases the extraction amount of cold water.

The alkaline cold and hot water ionizer of the present invention having such a configuration has the cooling reservoir 6 and the hot water tank 15 heated up and down so as to be suitable for a count type ionizer mainly used in a relatively small place such as a home, office, or a small restaurant. It is suitable for the miniaturization connected by the feeding inlet 22, but it is also applicable to a large stand type water purifier as needed.

Figure 4 shows a modified structure of the alkaline cold hot water ionizer according to the application embodiment of the present invention, and the water flowing into the hot water tank 15 and the basic embodiment of Figure 3 directly introduced from the cooling reservoir 6 Alternatively, the tap water flowing into the hot water tank 15 is introduced into the hot water tank 15 directly through the branch pipe 21 installed in the middle of the purified water inlet 35 through the composite filter 2, This is a case in which the heated water heated by the hot water tank 15 is extracted through the heated water outlet 14 so as to eliminate unnecessary manufacturing process of the cold water through the cooling reservoir 6.

In this case, unlike the count type ionizer according to the basic embodiment of FIG. 3 which is mainly used in a relatively small place, it is easy to apply to a stand type ionizer used in large places such as public places or restaurants. to be. Of course, if necessary, it can be applied to count type water purifier.

The circulating pressurizing pump 9 for introducing the water of the cooling reservoir 6 directly into the electrolytic cell 7 without losing the cooling heat is installed on the separation lid 23 and protected by the protective cover 24. In addition, the separation plate 20 is installed between the electrolytic cell 7 located in the center of the space so as to suppress the temperature rise due to the mixing of the inflow water and the cooled cooling water flowing into the cooling reservoir 6 to store the ionized alkaline water. The upper space 26 is divided into a lower space 25 for storing the cooled coolant.

In the integrated cooling electrolytic water storage tank 40 according to the present invention, a protective cover 24 for protecting a circulation pressure pump 9 and a valve, a screw, and the like is installed on the separation lid 23 above the cooling reservoir 6, and an electrolytic cell ( In the cooling reservoir 6 in which the 7 is located, the precipitation inlet 10, the water level sensor 8, and the ring pad 31 and the leak prevention pad 30 are formed. In particular, the ring pad 31 and The leakage preventing pad 30 maintains the cooling reservoir 6 and the separation lid 23 and the sealing lid 23 and the electrolytic cell 7.

In addition, a separator plate fitting 36 is formed at the outside of the electrolytic cell 7 to assemble the separator 20 for partitioning the cooling reservoir 6 into the upper space 26 and the lower space 25. (20) On both sides there is an inlet through-hole 38 through which the inlet 10 passes and a purified water through-hole 37 allowing the purified water introduced into the cooling reservoir 6 to pass through the lower space 25. It is formed through. In addition, the acidic water outlet 12 and the alkaline water outlet 13 extend out of the cooling reservoir 6 from the electrolytic cell 7, and the hot water tank 15 is connected to the cooling reservoir 6 through the heated water inlet 22.
