Description

Hydrogen Water Generator {HYDROGEN WATER GENERATOR}

The present invention relates to a hydrogen water generator.

Tap water, which is used for daily drinking, contains substances that adversely affect the human body, such as trihalomethane, because the chlorine added to sterilization at the purification plant makes the water taste bad. There is a possibility. Therefore, conventionally, tap water which is the object of purified water is blown in using a water purifier, and contaminants such as chlorine and odor gas are removed by a carbon filter or the like.

On the other hand, as a method of reforming water, an electrolyzer is known that generates reduced water having a current flowing through water between electrodes and electrolyzing water to lower the redox potential of the water.

When alternating current is applied to the electrodes, hydrogen gas and oxygen gas are alternately generated at each electrode, and oxygen generated at the electrode is released into the atmosphere, thereby increasing the amount of dissolved oxygen. On the other hand, hydrogen produced by the above reaction is dissolved in the liquid by super saturation, and as a result, it is considered that the redox potential decreases as the reducing hydrogen increases compared to oxygen as the oxidant.

Conventionally, the water purifier and the electrolyzer each used a separate container.

Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 2004-49946 (front page)

In invention of the said patent document 1, the water purification part and an electrolytic part are used for the opening of one container. For this reason, cost reduction is aimed at compared with using a separate container.

If a separate container is used, it is troublesome to move water from the water purifier to the electrolyzer. On the other hand, it is cumbersome to replace the purified water part and the electrolytic part in one container.

In addition, when a separate container is used, a container that is not in use is hindered. On the other hand, in the structure of exchanging the purified water part and the electrolytic part, the unused purified water part or the electrolytic part interferes. Therefore, space efficiency is bad for use in each home.

An object of the present invention is to provide a hydrogen water generator that is simple and has good space efficiency.

The hydrogen water generator of the present invention includes at least a port, a water purification unit accommodated in the port for purifying raw water in the port, and a portion of the raw water contained in the port and purified in the water purification unit. And a pair of electrodes formed in the port, and a spout for discharging hydrogen water generated by the electrolysis into the raw water and discharged from the port.

According to the present invention, a water purification unit and a pair of electrodes are built in one port. Therefore, the user does not need to move the water from the conventional water purifier to the electrolyzer, and can easily obtain the purified and electrolyzed hydrogen water.

In addition, since the purified water portion and the pair of electrodes are built in one port, the unused port, the purified water portion, or the electrolytic portion does not interfere. Therefore, space efficiency is improved in each home.

Preferably, a labyrinth groove for separating the two plate-shaped electrode plates forming the pair of electrodes from each other in a plane in which the electrode plate extends, and the two sheets. And a retainer for fitting the two electrode plates together and fixing the two electrode plates along the bottom of the port.

In this case, the groove in the labyrinth increases the creepage distance that the two electrode plates face each other while keeping the distance between the two electrode plates small. Therefore, the resistance between electrodes is small and efficient electrolysis can be realized with a small electric power. Therefore, hydrogen water can be produced efficiently.

In addition, since the two electrode plates are fitted with retainers to be fixed along the bottom of the port, the above state of the electrode plate can be stably preserved, and the electrode plate can be compactly contained in the port. I can accept it.

Further, preferably, a solvent is added to the pot, and a mineral container which suppresses the mixing of the raw water and the hydrogen water flowing into the port and mineral water is added to the raw water in the container. It is provided with the supply part which produces | generates water.

In this case, there is no fear that raw water, such as tap water newly introduced into the pot, may be directly mixed with hydrogen water, and thus waste is not generated in water purification and electrolysis.

In addition, since mineral powder is added to the raw water in the inner container, mineral ions are enriched and the electrolytic efficiency is improved.

Also, preferably, the mineral water received in the port and collected at the center in the inner container flows downwardly from the inner container, and flows downward from the inner container through the pipe portion. A porous body of activated carbon for purifying mineral water is provided.

In this case, the mineral water is reliably purified by the porous body.

Preferably, the retainer is integrally formed with the lower plate in contact with the lower surface of the two electrode plates, the upper plate in contact with the upper surface of the two electrode plates, and the upper plate. And an accommodating portion accommodating the porous body.

In this case, the porous body can be compactly contained in the housing portion formed integrally with the upper plate of the retainer.

EXAMPLE

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

As shown in Figs. 5A and 5B, the hydrogen water generator of the present embodiment can be separated into a port 1 and a base 8. A handle 11 is integrally formed in the port 1 of FIG. 6, and the opening above the port 1 is covered with a lid 13.

As shown in FIG. 6, the base 8 may support the bottom of the port 1 and accommodate a power supply circuit (not shown). The power supply circuit uses alternating high-frequency (e.g., 30 kHz-50 kHz) voltages (e.g., 5 V-50 V) through the pair of terminals 81 of Figure 5B for electrode plates 3, 3 in port 1; To apply. Although not shown, the bottom surface of the port 1 exposes a contact terminal that contacts the terminal 81 in a state where the port 1 is located at the base 8.

The base 8 may be provided with a start button for supplying AC power in the power supply circuit for a predetermined time. The supply time may be selected by pressing the button once, pressing twice, or the like.

In the port 1 of FIG. 5A, a water purification part 2 and two electrode plates 3 are accommodated. The water purification section 2 is for purifying raw water in the port 1. The two electrode plates 3 are for generating hydrogen water by electrolyzing a part of the raw water purified by the purified water unit 2.

As shown in FIG. 1B, one continuous groove 3G is formed in a maze between two electrode plates 3 and 3 at the same time. The grooves 3G separate the two plate-shaped electrode plates 3 and 3 from each other in a plane in which the electrode plates 3 and 3 extend.

As shown in FIG. 1C, the two electrode plates 3 and 3 are sandwiched by the lower plate 40 and the upper plate 41 of the resin retainer 4. The retainer 4 of FIG. 5A fixes the two electrode plates 3, 3 to the lower part of the port 1 by a pair of bolts 43.

The lower plate 40 of the retainer 4 in FIG. 1B is in contact with the lower surface of the two electrode plates 3, 3. On the other hand, the upper plate 41 of Fig. 1A is in contact with the upper surfaces of the two electrode plates (3, 3). In the lower plate 40 of FIG. 1B, a plurality of small protrusions 44 are formed integrally with the plurality of through holes 3H of the two electrode plates 3 and 3. . By the fitting of both, the electrode plate 3 is positioned on the lower plate 40.

A plurality of engagement tanks 45 are integrally formed on the upper plate 41 of FIG. 1A. When the engagement tank 45 engages the lower plate 40, the state with the electrode plate 3 interposed therebetween is maintained as shown in FIG. 1C.

As shown in FIG. 2A, the upper plate 41 is integrally formed with a cylindrical tubular accommodating portion 42 for accommodating the porous body 7 of activated carbon.

The inner container 12 of FIG. 4 is accommodated in the port 1 of FIG. 5. The inner container 12 suppresses mixing of the raw water and the hydrogen water flowing into the port 1. In the port 1 of FIG. 5A, a spout 10 is formed between the inner container 12. The spout 10 is for discharging hydrogen water dissolved in the raw water from the hydrogen gas generated by the electrolysis from the port 1, and is opened and closed by the opening and closing lid 13. In the inner container 12, a supply unit 5 for generating mineral water by adding mineral (mineral) powder to raw water is provided.

The supply part 5 of FIG. 3 is replaceable by a cartridge method, accommodates natural minerals including mineral components such as Ca, Mg, Zn, or artificial mineral ceramics to add minerals to raw water in the filter, and the filter cartridge It is housed in the case 50. In addition, an injection port 51 of raw water is opened at the upper end of the cartridge case 50.

The supply part 5 communicates with the pipe part 6. The tube part 6 is accommodated in the port 1 of FIG. 5, and the mineral water collected at the center in the inner container 12 flows downward from the inner container 12. The pipe part 6 is supported by the receiving part 42 of FIG. 2B. Moreover, the porous body 7 of activated carbon may be provided also in the pipe part 6.

The porous body 7 of activated carbon flows out of the inner container 12 of FIG. 4 and purifies mineral water flowing downward through the pipe part 6. Here, "purification" means having at least one function of reducing toxic substances, such as trihalomethane, odor, etc. in addition to dechlorination which reduces the chlorine component in tap water.

Next, the usage method of the hydrogen water generator of FIG. 6 is demonstrated. The lid 13 of the port 1 of FIG. 6 is opened, and tap water (an example of raw water) is injected from the injection port 51 of the cartridge case 50 of FIG. At this time, since the cartridge case 50 is accommodated in the inner container 12, there is no possibility that tap water may be mixed with the generated hydrogen water. The tap water entered into the cartridge case 50 becomes mineral water to which mineral powder is added in the supply part 5.

The mineral water flows out of the cartridge case 50 from the bottom or the slit 52 of the cartridge case 50 and flows down the inside of the lower tube part 6. The mineral water is purified in the porous body 7 of activated carbon during and after the loading of the pipe part 6. The purified mineral water is collected in a region below the inner container 12 of the pot 1.

After the mineral water is stored, when the user pushes down the unshown button of the base 8 of FIG. 6, a predetermined alternating current is applied from the power supply circuit to the pair of electrode plates 3. It feeds. In the electrode plates 3 and 3 to which the electric power is input, hydrogen and oxygen are alternately generated in accordance with the alternating voltage, and a known hydrogen water in which a large number of molecules of small molecules are dissolved in mineral water is produced.

The generated hydrogen water is taken out from the spout 10 of the pot 1, and used as drinking water, skin care water, or the like.

The present invention can be applied to a hydrogen water generator for producing hydrogen water suitable for drinking water or skin care water.
