Feeder of sterilized water contained Ag-ion for restaurant

The present invention relates to a silver ion sterilizing water supply device for a restaurant installed in a restaurant and electrolyzing silver (Ag) to include silver ions in raw water, and more specifically, silver (Ag) nano ions by electrolysis. Produce and supply to raw water to eradicate germs, suppress reproduction, and supply active hydrogen to raw water, which is more hygienic when washing dishes using raw water, and to release the active oxygen inside the body when drinking raw water. and,

By providing a housing having a distribution hole inside the electrolytic cell in which electrolysis is performed, and mounting a positive electrode plate and a silver electrode plate of silver in the electrolytic cell and the housing, respectively, the positive plate and the negative plate are spatially separated, and raw water is supplied to the positive plate and the negative plate only through the hole in the housing. Contact, thereby preventing abrupt electrolysis from taking place,

The present invention relates to a silver ion sterilizing water supply device in which the silver (Ag) component of one of the electrode plates is not first disappeared by periodically changing the polarity of the power applied to the positive electrode plate and the negative electrode plate.

As is well known, tap water caused by by-products of environmental pollution and pollution is very low in purity, and in recent years, awareness of the importance of water has been spreading.

In particular, in the case of a restaurant used by an unspecified number of people, there is a great deal of distrust in whether or not the dishes and drinking water provided to the guests are sanitary.

Thus, in a restaurant, a sterilizer is usually installed to sterilize the raw water, wash the dishes with the sterilized raw water, and provide the sterilized raw water to the guests to dispel the distrust of the customers.

As a sterilizer for sterilizing raw water installed in a restaurant as described above, in the past, a sterilizer mainly using an ultraviolet lamp was used.

However, the UV lamp has excellent instantaneous sterilization power, but since the sterilizing water supplied and stored in the reservoir after sterilization does not have residual fungicide, it is exposed to general bacteria and biological contamination without defense. That is, there is a problem that bacteria and microorganisms exist in the storage tank by inhabiting the atmosphere or the surrounding environment, or water of the storage tank is recontaminated by untreated microorganisms through an ultraviolet sterilizer.

In order to supplement the problem of the ultraviolet lamp system, the ion sterilizing water supply device that the ionized water having a sterilizing function in the raw water through the electrolysis has been in the spotlight.

There are several types of ionized water with sterilization function. Among them, silver (Ag) nano ions are known to be excellent in antibacterial function because they have excellent sterilizing ability and stop the reproduction of enzymes involved in the metabolism of bacteria.

As a device for supplying silver ions having excellent sterilization ability to raw water, Patent Publication No. 806322 "Silver Copper Ion Sterilizer" and Patent Publication No. 2003-23843 "Sterilizer using copper and silver" and the like have been disclosed.

The two patents arrange a positive electrode plate and a negative electrode plate inside an electrolytic cell and supply power to the two electrode plates so that electrolysis is performed to supply silver ions to raw water.

Both the positive and negative plates are installed directly in the electrolytic cell to perform electrolysis, and electrolysis is rapidly performed because electrons, anions, and cations generated in each of the two plates move in contact with each other in a larger amount at a faster time. Can be. Thus, the silver components of the plates are lost early, requiring frequent replacements of the plates, and even more of the silver ions in the raw water, which can kill beneficial bacteria.

In addition, the two patents apply a power source of the same polarity of the positive electrode plate and the negative electrode plate, the silver of the positive electrode plate gradually disappears, but the silver of the negative electrode plate is almost unchanged or rather increased. This results in a short period of time for the continuous production of silver ions with two pole plates, and the replacement of the two pole plates together, even though the negative plate continues to be used, is a waste of resources.

The present invention has been made in order to solve the above problems, it is equipped with a housing that is spatially separated inside the electrolytic cell, and the positive electrode and negative electrode plate respectively mounted on the housing and the electrolytic cell, the raw water is only the distribution hole formed in the housing By distributing the housing and the electrolytic cell through it to prevent rapid electrolysis and periodically changing the polarity of the power applied to the two pole plates, the silver ion sterilization water supply device which supplies silver ions and reduces unnecessary resource waste for a longer time For the purpose of providing it.

Can,

The positive and negative plates are spatially separated in the electrolytic cell using the housing, and the raw water contacts the positive and negative plates only through the distribution holes of the housing, preventing rapid electrolysis and changing the polarity of the two plates periodically for a longer time. Silver ions are generated and contained in the raw water, reducing waste of the plate and the hassle of replacing the plate.

Hereinafter, with reference to the drawings will be described the present invention in more detail.

1 is a schematic block diagram of a silver ion sterilization water supply device for a restaurant according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a silver ion sterilization water supply device, FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a cover of a main body removed, and FIG. b is a perspective view of the electrolytic cell viewed from the left and right sides.

As shown in the figure, the silver ion sterilizing water supply device of the present invention is the main body (B), the electrolytic cell 10, the housing 20, the positive electrode plate 31 and the negative electrode plate 32, the reservoir tank 40, the pump 50 , A flow sensor 70, a filter 80, a fixed terminal 35, and a circuit unit 100 including a power supply unit 110 and a controller 120.

The main body B includes a skeleton member 101 forming a skeleton and a cover 103 surrounding the skeleton member 101, and an electrolytic cell 10, a reservoir 40, a pump 50, etc. It is built in to protect them.

In addition, one surface of the main body B is provided with a plurality of buttons 122 for inputting various commands of the user, and a display unit 123 for displaying an operating state of the ion sterilizing water supply device.

And the main body (B) is provided with an inlet pipe 105 for receiving the raw water from the outside, and an outlet pipe 107 for outflowing the raw water stored in the water storage tank 40 to the outside, and the opening and closing of the pipeline on these pipelines On-off valve 109 is connected.

The electrolytic cell 10 is embedded in the upper portion of the body, and receives the raw water from the outside through the inlet pipe.

And the electrolytic cell 10 is connected to the water supply pipe 11 is connected to the inlet pipe and the raw water is introduced, the drain pipe 13 for discharging the raw water to the reservoir 40, is connected,

Is equipped with a flow rate sensor 70 for detecting the amount of raw water filled in the electrolytic cell 10,

A fixed terminal 35 for supplying power while fixing the two pole plates 31 and 32 is provided.

The fixed terminal 35 is screwed to be fastened or loosened to the inner wall of the electrolytic cell 10 to facilitate replacement of the positive electrode plate 31 and the negative electrode plate 32 and to fix the pole plate 31 mounted to the housing 20. The fixed terminal 35 serves to fix the housing 20 to the electrolytic cell 10.

The housing 20 is mounted inside the electrolytic cell 10, the inside of which is spatially separated from the electrolytic cell 10, and connected to the inside and the electrolytic cell 10 to distribute raw water so that electrolysis can be performed. Has a ball 21. Electrons, anions, and cations generated in the two electrode plates 31 and 32 during electrolysis may move the two electrode plates 31 and 32 mounted in the electrolytic cell 10 and the housing 20 only through the distribution holes 21. Therefore, occurrence of rapid electrolysis is suppressed.

The positive electrode plate 31 and the negative electrode plate 32 may be in the form of a plate containing a silver (Ag) component and may be in the form of silver plated on the surface of a pure silver (Ag) plate or a conductive material. In addition, the positive electrode plate and the negative electrode plate are for distinguishing the two electrode plates, the positive power is applied to the positive plate, and the negative power is not applied to the negative plate.

In the case of the pole plates 31 and 32 plated with silver (including pure silver plate), the plated silver Ag is electrolyzed in the pole plates 31 and 32 to which a positive current is applied. In the pole plates 31 and 32 to which Ag) ions and electrons are generated and a negative current is applied, hydrogen ions dissolved in raw water are generated in the pole plates 31 and 32. Reduction reaction occurs in which hydrogen gas is combined with electrons. A small amount of silver (Ag) ions generated in the positive polarity may be adsorbed onto the negative polar plates 31 and 32.

Therefore, if the polarity of one of the pole plates 31 and 32 is maintained at the same polarity for a long time, and the electrolysis becomes thicker, the positive pole plates 31 and 32 become thinner due to the disappearance of the plated silver and the negative polarity. The pole plates 31 and 32 of the plated silver become thick or unchanged or rather stretched.

Thus, although the positive polar plates 31 and 32 are plated with a sufficient amount of silver, the positive polar plates 31 and 32 do not have silver and thus do not emit silver ions. The timing will be advanced.

In order to solve this problem, it is desirable to periodically change the polarity of the pole plates 31 and 32 so that the silver plated on the two pole plates 31 and 32 dissipate at a similar speed. The controller 120 controls the supply of power so that the polarities of the pole plates 31 and 32 are periodically converted.

The reservoir 40 is built in the lower portion of the main body, and passes through the electrolytic cell 10 to temporarily store crude oil containing silver ions.

And the reservoir 40 is equipped with a flow sensor for detecting the amount of raw water filled in the reservoir, the water supply pipe is connected to the discharge pipe of the electrolytic tank and the raw water is introduced, the discharge pipe discharged by the driving of the pump 50 Is provided.

The filter 90 is installed at the inlet or outlet of the electrolytic cell 10 or the reservoir 40 to filter not only the fine particles (fine dust, suspended matter, etc.) contained in the raw water flowing therein, but also certain harmful components.

The filter 90 includes a precipitation filter for removing various debris and fine impurities such as rust, soil, and dust as a filter such as a pretreatment filter;
