4, the flow path of the first housing 110 and the flow path of the second housing 120 are connected to the electrolyte membrane 230 of the electrolytic unit 200, As shown in FIG. That is, the water introduced into the first inlet 111 may be discharged to the first outlet 112 through the first guide unit 310 in the first housing 110. The water introduced into the second inlet 121 passes through the third guide part 330 in the second housing 120 and passes through the second guide part 320 and is discharged to the second outlet 122 . That is, water flowing through the anode electrode 210 and water flowing through the cathode electrode 220 may not be mixed. In this case, there is an advantage that the ozonated water and the hydrogenated water can be obtained without being mixed with each other.

Referring to FIG. 5, the process of generating ozone water will be described. In the following description, it is assumed that the anode electrode 210 is located inside the first housing 110 and the ozonated water is generated through the structure of the first housing 110. However, when the anode electrode 210 is formed inside the second housing 120 So that the ozone water can be generated through the structure of the second housing 120.

First, water is supplied to the first inlet 111 of the first housing 110 (A). The supplied water flows into the first guide part 310 located in the inner space of the first housing 110. The water introduced into the first guide part 310 passes through the first partition 311 and flows through the first partition 311 to pass through the first flow path 313 (E). The water that has passed through the first flow path 313 flows between one side of the first partition 311 and the second partition 312 and passes through the second flow path 314 (F). And then flows along the other surface of the second bank 312. That is, the water introduced into the first guide part 310 passes through the first partition 311, the first flow path 313, the second partition 312 and the second flow path 314, . The water flows into the first guide part 310 in a grate shape and is discharged to the first discharge port 112. [ For example, as shown in FIG. 5, the first guiding portion 310 may guide guided flow of five times. Since the anode electrode 210 of the electrolytic unit 200 is positioned below the first guide unit 310, the water flowing through the first guide unit 310 comes into contact with the anode electrode 210. When power is supplied from the outside through the anode terminal 211 of the anode electrode 210, the anode electrode 210 flows through the first guide portion 310 by interaction with the cathode electrode 220 arranged to face the anode electrode 210 Perform electrolysis on water. In this process, ozone (O ₃ ) is generated in the water electrolyzed by the anode electrode 210. On the other hand, the generated ozone is dissolved in water and discharged as ozone water through the first outlet 112.

In the function number generation module according to an embodiment of the present invention, since the first guide part 310 interferes with the flow of water and the contact time between the water and the anode electrode 210 is delayed, the amount of ozone generated through electrolysis Is increased. Further, since the ozone generated through electrolysis is also disturbed by the flow like the water flowing through the first guide part 310, the amount of dissolved ozone is increased in the water. That is, the ozone water in a state in which ozone is sufficiently dissolved can be collected through the first outlet 112 of the function number generating module according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIGS. 6 and 7, the generation process of hydrogenated water will be described. Hereinafter, the cathode electrode 220 is positioned inside the second housing 120 to generate the hydrogenated water through the structure of the second housing 120. However, when the cathode electrode 220 is connected to the first housing 110, So that hydrogenated water can be generated through the structure of the first housing 110.

First, as shown in FIG. 6, water is supplied to the second inlet 121 of the second housing 120 (C). The supplied water flows into the third guide part 330 located in the inner space of the second housing 120. The water introduced into the third guide part 330 meets the first partition wall 331 and flows along the first partition wall 331 to pass through the first flow path 333 (G). The water that has passed through the first flow path 333 flows between one side of the first partition wall 331 and the second partition wall 332 and passes through the second flow path 334 (H). And then flows along the other surface of the second bank 332. That is, the water introduced into the third guide part 330 flows in the shape of a hatching through the first partition wall 331, the first flow path 333, the second partition wall 332, and the second flow path 334 . The water flows into the third guide part 330 in a spiral shape and flows into the second guide part 320 through the flow hole 335 (I). On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 6 as an example, the fifth guiding flow can be guided by the third guide part 330. Since the cathode electrode 220 of the electrolytic unit 200 is positioned above the third guide unit 330, the water flowing through the third guide unit 330 comes into contact with the cathode electrode 220. When power is supplied from the outside through the cathode terminal 221 of the cathode electrode 220, the cathode electrode 220 flows through the third guide portion 330 by interaction with the anode electrode 210 arranged so as to face Perform electrolysis on water. In this process, hydrogen (H ₂ ) is generated in the water electrolyzed by the cathode electrode 220. On the other hand, the generated hydrogen is dissolved in water and passes through the second guide part 320 as hydrogen water and is discharged to the second outlet 122.

Hereinafter, referring to FIG. 7, the flow of the water introduced into the second guide part 320 through the flow hole 335 of the third guide part 330 will be described in detail. The flow hole 335 is located close to the second outlet 122 as an example. At this time, the water J flowing into the second guide part 320 through the flow hole 335 meets the first partition wall 321 and flows on the first partition wall 321 to flow through the first flow path 323 (K). Thereafter, the water that has passed through the first flow path 323 flows between one side of the first partition 321 and the second partition 322 and passes through the second flow path 324 (L). And then flows along the other surface of the second bank 322. That is, the water flowing into the second guide part 320 flows in a gob shape through the first partition 321, the first flow path 323, the second partition wall 322, and the second flow path 324 . In the second guide part 320, the water flows in a gutter shape and is discharged through the second outlet 122 (D). On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 7, for example, the nine guide flow can be guided in the third guide part 320. At this time, four tabular flows are guided in the first region A1 and five tabular flows are guided in the second region A2. The water flowing through the flow hole 335 flows in the direction of the second inlet 121 through the first region A1 and flows in the direction of the second outlet 122 through the second region A2, And may be discharged to the discharge port 122.

In the function number generating module according to the embodiment of the present invention, since the third guide part 330 and the second guide part 320 interfere with the flow of water and the contact time between the water and the cathode electrode 220 is delayed, And the amount of hydrogen generated through decomposition is increased. Further, the hydrogen generated through the electrolysis is also disturbed by the flow like the water flowing through the third guide part 330 and the second guide part 320, so that the amount of dissolved hydrogen is increased in the water. In other words, it becomes possible to take in the hydrogen water in a state in which the hydrogen is sufficiently dissolved through the second outlet 122 of the function number generating module according to the embodiment of the present invention.
