Electrochemical methods allow the most effective purification of water from anthropogenic impurities (Miklashevsky N.V., Korolkova S.V. Pure water. Purification systems and household filters. St. Petersburg: VHV-Saint Petersburg, publishing group Arlit, 2000, p. . 154).

A device is known that implements the method of electrochemical purification of drinking water according to patent RV 2043308, which contains a container in which a packet of electrodes with a soluble anode is placed, as well as a container with a filter element. The device also contains a power and control source with a step-down transformer and a rectifier connected to the AC network and to the electrodes of the device.

There is also known a device for electrochemical purification of drinking water (utility model) according to patent No. 36424, containing a power source, a reactor vessel with a packet of soluble electrodes located in it, and a filter vessel with a filter element, with buoyancy open installed in the upper part of the reactor vessel with vertical buoyancy easy to remove reverse cone with a vertical handle on top, the filter tank is equipped with an easily removable filter element for fine filtering, and above the tank A funnel with an annular magnet mounted on a drain pipe is installed.

The specified device according to patent No. 36424 for the maximum number of similar essential features (a container with a package of electrodes with a soluble anode, an easily removable reverse cone, a funnel with an annular magnet mounted on a drain tube, easily removable fine filter elements) is taken as a prototype model.

The disadvantage of the device selected for the prototype is that when creating a device for the electrochemical treatment of drinking water of small volumes for individual use, it is difficult to implement a set of design solutions used for the manufacture of the prototype.

The purpose of this technical solution is to design solutions that provide the manufacture of a device for electrochemical cleaning of small volumes for an individual user.

The essence of the proposed technical solution lies in the fact that the inner surface of the reactor vessel in its open part is partially conical so that the diameter of the lower base of this cone is less than the diameter of the base of the cone that is easily removable in the vertical direction, made in the form of a float equipped with a landing belt at the base, mating with the inner conical surface of the reactor vessel, and having grooves for the contacts of the electrodes, the package of electrodes is formed by side removable strips and with grooves for the electrodes, while the electrodes are perpendicular to the bottom without touching it, and their contacts inside the upper part of the reactor vessel are simultaneously guides for the grooves of the easily removable reverse cone, ensuring its stable movement inside the reactor in the vertical direction, the funnel lid with a ring magnet is provided removable coarse and fine filters, the power supply cables are equipped with removable terminals for attaching to the contacts of the electrodes, while the terminals are equipped with recesses Hold at a predetermined depth having buoyancy of easy vertically inverted cone after filling the reactor vessel with water. For transportation purposes, the device and its individual components are placed in soft cases.

The introduction as claimed features in the form of a partially conical design of the inner surface of the reactor vessel in its open part provides cut-off of the sludge to remove it by landing on the conical surface of the reactor having a buoyant, easily removable reverse cone when moving vertically inside the reactor. The contacts of the electrodes serve as guides for the grooves of the inverse cone, ensuring the stability of the cone in an upright position when moving it inside the reactor, and the removable terminals for attaching the power supply cables to the contacts of the electrodes, equipped with recesses, allow you to hold the inverse cone at a given depth after filling the reactor with water. Removable slats with grooves form and combine the electrodes into a bag, and in contact with the inner walls of the reactor when installing the electrode bag in the reactor, give the package rigidity. The cover funnel with a ring magnet is equipped with a coarse filter element when filling the reactor with source water and an additional fine filter element when the treated water is supplied to the consumer. The device, its components and power supply for the purpose of ease of maintenance and movement are placed in soft cases.

From the prior art, no solutions have been identified that have features that match the distinctive features of the proposed technical solution. Therefore, we can assume that the proposed technical solution corresponds to the level of the utility model.

The essence of the proposed technical solution is illustrated by graphic materials, where in FIG. 1 shows a diagram of a prototype device, FIG. 2 is a diagram of an individually portable device. The proposed device, as well as the prototype (Fig. 1), contains a power source 1, a reactor vessel 2 with an electrode package 3, a filter element 5, a funnel 8 with an annular magnet 9, which has buoyancy with the possibility of vertical movement and easily removable inverse cone 6 with grooves eleven.

Unlike the prototype in the proposed device, the inner surface of the reactor vessel is partially conical in its open part 13, the electrode package is formed by side removable strips 10 with grooves 14 for electrodes 3 with contacts 15 inside the upper part of the reactor vessel 2, a funnel 8 with an annular magnet 9 and drain 18 is equipped with removable filters of coarse 12 and fine 5 cleaning, the return cone 6 is made in the form of a float with grooves 11 for the contacts 15 of the electrodes 3 and is equipped with a landing belt 20, mating with the inner conical surface 13 the bones of the reactor 2, the cables from the power source 1 are equipped with removable terminals 16 for attaching to the contacts 15 of the electrodes 3, the terminals 16 are equipped with latches 17 for deepening and holding the return cone 6 at a given depth after filling the reactor vessel 2 with the source water.

The work of the proposed device.

In the initial state, the electrodes 3 are formed into a packet by the side strips 10 and installed in the reactor vessel 2. Terminals 16 with latches 17 of the power source 1 are disconnected from the contacts 15 of the electrodes 3. The cone 6 is located inside the neck of the reactor vessel 2, a funnel 8 with coarse and fine filters 5 the cleaning device is turned upside down, closing the neck of the reactor vessel 2. The ring magnet 9 and the drain 18 of the cover 8 are protected by a cap 19. The device (complete reactor 2 and power supply 1) are placed in soft cases.

In preparation for starting work, cover 8 with filters 12 and 5 is removed, cone 6 is removed from reactor vessel 2. Cap 19 is removed. Cover 8 is mounted on the neck of reactor vessel 2 in the funnel position. Got a lid-funnel, into which a coarse filter 12 is inserted. In the reactor vessel 2, through the lid of the funnel 8, the initial water is poured to the calculated level, after which the lid of the funnel is removed. A reverse cone 6 is installed in the neck of the reactor vessel 2 so that the grooves 11 slide along the contacts 15 of the plates 3. The terminals 16 of the power supply 1 are installed on the contacts 15, heating and fixing the return cone 6 under the surface of the water filled into the reactor 2 at a calculated depth, leaving a gap between the base of the inverse cone 6 and partially the conical surface 13 of the vessel of the reactor 2. From the power source 1 through the terminals 16 and contacts 15, power is supplied to the electrodes 3.

The water treatment in the proposed device is similar to the processing process in the prototype. After exposure to sludge, power supply 1 is automatically turned off. The inverse cone 6 having grooves 11 is immersed along the guides 15 (electrode contacts) inside the vessel of the reactor 2 until the lateral walls with the landing belt 20 rest in a partially conical surface 13 inside the upper part of the vessel of the reactor 2, thus cutting off the sludge that has risen to the surface of the water. Holding the inverse cone 6, disconnect from the contacts 15 of the electrodes 3 terminals 16 with latches 17. Drain the sludge. The return cone 6 is removed from the reactor vessel 2. An additional fine filter 5 is installed in the funnel lid 8. From the reactor vessel 2, the treated water is transferred to the consumer’s tank through the funnel 8 lid mounted on this vessel with filters 5 and 12.

The distinguishing features proposed in the formula (utility model) are implemented in a prototype of an individually portable device for the electrochemical treatment of drinking water and allow us to conclude that the water treatment is highly effective.
