Description

[0001] Electrolyte dosing system for device manufacturing sterilizing water [0002]

The present invention relates to a sterilizing water handler, and more particularly, to a sterilizing hand water electrolytic dosing system capable of constantly producing a sterilized water at a constant concentration and stably using the electrolytic solution at a constant concentration.

The sterilization is mainly to remove harmful bacteria that harm the human body, and in the case of food, it is removed by washing. If harmful bacteria remain, it can cause food poisoning, water-borne diseases and the like. In other words, bacteria that cause water-borne diseases and bacteria that cause food poisoning are left in food utensils, food processing apparatuses, cookware, food factory manufacturing equipment, and group feeding facilities, resulting in food poisoning or waterborne diseases.

Therefore, a sterilizing water handler for generating and supplying sterilizing water for washing dishes, food, and the like has been developed and used.

Conventional disinfection water mainly uses sterilization method using sodium hypochlorite. Sodium hypochlorite is used as a disinfectant to kill food spoilage and pathogens. It is used in beverages, vegetables and fruits, containers, utensils and tableware.

Sodium hypochlorite disinfection method is a method of injecting commercially available sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) and direct generation by electrolysis in the field. The commercially available sodium hypochlorite is stored in a storage tank while maintaining the predetermined concentration. The electrolysis method is a method in which hypochlorous acid generator is used for electrolysis from chlorine disinfected water or sodium chloride added electrolysis method Sodium chlorate is generated and diluted. When electrolyzed raw water mixed with sodium chloride is decomposed into sodium and chlorine ions and the chlorine molecule which is a coordinate form of chloride ion which is an anion is oxidized again to form hypochlorous acid (HOCL), hydrogen (H2 ) Is generated.

It is important to adjust the concentration of the sterilized water to a certain level when generating sterilized water using the above method. If the concentration of hypochlorous acid in the sterilized water is too high, the concentration of free residual chlorine in the object after sterilization may be high, , Whereas if it is too low, it becomes difficult to expect a sterilization effect.

In general, household sterilization machines require a relatively low concentration of sterilization water, which requires a large-capacity tank to maintain a constant concentration at a low concentration.

Therefore, it is important to supply sodium hypochlorite or sodium chloride uniformly to the raw water.

Korean Patent Registration No. 1053088 discloses a sterilizing machine that maintains the concentration of sterilized water by using a flow pulse sensor. However, the problem of enlargement of the apparatus still remains, and when the used flow rate is low, If the flow sensor is not used, it is difficult to detect the flow rate, and it is difficult to generate sterilization water at a constant concentration.

3 is a view for explaining a second embodiment of the dosing machine for a sterilizer according to the present invention.

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

1st Example

Will be described with reference to FIG.

The first embodiment of the dosing system for a sterilizing machine according to the present invention includes a water receiver 100, an electrolytic water tank 200, an electrolyte kit 300, an electrode 400 and corks 510 and 520.

The user can operate the valve V3 to discharge the raw water through the raw water cork 510 or to discharge the sterilized water through the sterilizing water cork 520 in the dosing system for the sterilizing machine according to the present invention.

That is, when the valve V3 is closed, the raw water flows through the raw water cork 510 but does not flow toward the sterilizing water cork 520. The user can open the raw water coke 510 to discharge the raw water. If the raw water does not flow toward the disinfecting water cock 520, the valve opening / closing member T4 does not operate and the valve V4 connected thereto is closed, so that the electrolytic water does not flow out from the electrolytic water tank 200. [

Conversely, when the valve V3 is opened, the raw water flows toward the raw water cork 510 and flows toward the sterilizing water cork 520 as well. The valve opening and closing member T4 is operated and the valve V4 connected thereto is opened so that electrolytic water flows out from the electrolytic water tank 200 to generate sterilized water through the electrode 400. [ The user can open the sterilizing water cock 520 to discharge the sterilizing water.

A detailed description of each component will be described in detail below.

The raw water is introduced into the dosing system for sterilizing machine according to the present invention from the water inlet 100.

The incoming raw water is diverted to the electrolytic water tank 200 and the coke 510. 520.

That is, some of the raw water flowing into the dosing system for the sterilizing water machine is directly discharged to the outside through the raw water cork 510 and the other part is introduced into the electrolytic water tank 200 under the condition that the valve V1 is opened.

The valve opening / closing member T2 is automatically operated by the raw water flowing into the electrolytic water tank 200.

It is preferable that the valve opening / closing member T2 is a member that automatically operates mechanically only when there is a flow of fluid in the flow path provided with the spindle. In particular, by controlling the rotational force of the valve opening / closing member T2 like a spindle, it can be easily controlled to operate only when a specific flow rate is introduced.

By the operation of the valve opening / closing member T2, the valve V2 connected thereto is opened.

When the valve (V2) is opened, the electrolyte contained in the electrolyte kit (300) flows into the electrolytic water tank (200).

In other words, the electrolyte contained in the electrolyte kit 300 is automatically introduced into the electrolytic water tank 200 only when there is raw water flowing into the electrolytic water tank 200.

As a result, the electrolytic water tank 200 is mixed with the raw water and the electrolytic water to generate electrolytic water. Here, only when the raw water flows into the electrolytic water tank 200 at a constant flow rate, the electrolytic water can be generated at a constant concentration by a mechanical and easy method.

On the other hand, the valve (V1) for interrupting whether the raw water flows into the electrolytic water tank (200) is operated by the sensor (210) in the electrolytic water tank (200).

The sensor 210 may be a water level sensor or a TDS sensor.

In particular, in the case of a water level sensor, when the amount of the electrolytic water generated in the electrolytic water tank 200 is a predetermined amount, the valve V1 is automatically shut off to stop the inflow of raw water, The valve V2 is shut off by the second flow passage T2 to stop the inflow of the electrolyte, whereby the amount of the electrolytic water in the electrolytic water tank 200 can be kept constant.

The electrolytic water generated in the electrolytic water tank 200 is discharged to the outside of the electrolytic water tank 200 when the valve V4 is opened. The opening condition of the valve V4 will be described in detail below.

The electrolytic water discharged to the outside of the electrolytic water tank 200 is diluted by mixing the electrolytic water discharged from the electrolytic water tank 200 with raw water passing through the valve V3 by the user as a part of the raw water introduced from the water receiving port 100 to generate electrolytically diluted water.

Through the dilution process, the problems caused by the electrolytic water having the high concentration or low concentration can be solved.

On the other hand, the valve opening / closing member T4 is automatically operated by the raw water flowing toward the sterilizing water cock 520.

It is preferable that the valve opening / closing member T4 is a member which is mechanically and automatically operated only when there is a flow of fluid in the flow path like the valve opening / closing member T2 described above. For example, it may be the aforementioned spindle, although other forms are possible.

By the operation of the valve opening / closing member T4, the valve V4 connected thereto is opened.

When the valve V4 is opened, the electrolytic water stored in the electrolytic water tank 200 flows out.

In other words, the electrolytic water stored in the electrolytic water tank 200 flows out only when the user opens the valve V3.

Therefore, when the user does not want to use the sterilized water and the valve V3 is closed, there is no electrolytic water flowing toward the electrode 400, so that the effect of extending the life of the electrode 400 is obtained by a mechanical and easy method can do.

In other words, when the user opens the valve V3, a part of the raw water introduced from the water receiver 100 flows toward the sterilizing water cork 520, and the raw water flowing toward the sterilizing water cork 520 opens and closes the valve The member T4 is operated and the valve V4 is opened by the operation of the valve opening and closing member T4 so that the electrolytic water stored in the electrolytic water tank 200 flows so that the diluted electrolytic water is mixed with the introduced raw water.

The generated electrolytic dilution water is generated as sterilized water by an electric action while passing through the electrode 400. The detailed description of the electrical action of the electrode 400 is omitted in the description of the prior art.

Second Example

Will be described with reference to FIG.

Unlike the first embodiment of FIG. 2, an additional electrolytic water tank 250 is further provided. Hereinafter, this is referred to as a second tank 250 for the purpose of classification. The electrolytic water stored in the electrolytic water tank 200 flows to the second tank 250 by the operation of a valve (not shown).

In the electrolytic water tank 200, since the raw water introduced from the water inlet 100 and the electrolyte introduced from the electrolyte kit 300 are mixed, it is difficult to maintain a constant concentration immediately after the raw water and the electrolyte are introduced. It takes some time to achieve a concentration.

Therefore, when the sterilized water is used in a large amount or continuously, the electrolytic water may flow into the electrode 400 at a concentration other than a predetermined level, so that the sterilization water may be generated somewhat incompletely. Alternatively, A waiting time may be required for the electrolytic water in the water tank 200 to attain a constant concentration.

This can be prevented if the second tank 250 is present.

That is, the electrolytic water can flow into the second tank 250 only when the predetermined amount of time has elapsed after the raw water and the electrolyte have flowed in, or when the predetermined concentration has been reached. In addition, a new electrolytic water mixing process is continuously performed in the electrolytic water tank 200.

Therefore, the electrolytic water flowing into the electrode 400 is easily maintained at a predetermined concentration, and the standby time can be eliminated even in the case of massive or continuous use of sterilized water.
