Mineral water machine

The present invention relates to a mineral water machine, and more particularly to a mineral water machine that provides mineral water according to individual circumstances.

The operation between the minerals in the human body is like the embedded gears, which work together at a certain ratio to achieve a healthy effect. For example, too much potassium will cause the T wave of the EKG to flatten. Iron deficiency can cause anemia. Excessive sodium will have high blood pressure. Therefore, the human body must simultaneously absorb a balanced mineral combination suitable for the body to absorb or metabolize in order to exert the functions of various minerals in the human body. The source of human minerals intake mainly comes from vegetables and fruits in the diet. However, according to the survey results, the nutrients of fruits and vegetables are generally reduced, especially minerals and vitamins. As for why the nutrients of fruits and vegetables will be greatly reduced? Reasons for the investigation may include:

1. New varieties that grow fast may not be able to absorb or synthesize the nutrient content they should have from the soil.

2. Modern farming cannot provide an environment in which fruits and vegetables naturally grow.

3. Chemical fertilizers are the main cause of the serious lack of minerals in the soil, the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).

Dr. Davis, a Texas chemist from the United States, found that six of the nutrients showed significant declines, including protein, calcium, phosphorus, iron, vitamin B2 and vitamins, based on the information on the 43 nutritional data of the US Department of Agriculture from 1950 to 1999. C. The decline rate ranges from 6% to 38%. According to a research report commissioned by the Department of Health, males and females of all ages have an insufficient deficiency in dietary intake and recommended intake, with an average deficit ranging from 10% to 50%. The intake of minerals should be different from person to person to meet the physiological needs of everyone.

The method for manufacturing mineral water of the present invention includes inputting basic materials to obtain data on human mineral intake and average mineral intake in the diet; In order to obtain daily drinking water mineral intake data; choose eating habits and physical and mental state; input personal weight data to calculate mineral intake; set daily drinking water, calculate daily mineral replenishment; and output mineral water. The basic information includes gender or age, and the age includes newborns, infants, children, adolescents, adults, the elderly or pregnant women. The gender is male or female. Therefore, the basic information is used to determine the type and quantity of minerals that each person needs to replenish. The recommended intake of minerals for basic information can be obtained from research and recommendations of official institutions or academic and research institutions. For example, the type and quantity of minerals or related factors that each person needs to replenish are obtained from the “Resident Dietary Reference Intake of Chinese People” or the research report of the relevant agencies. Or calculate the average mineral intake in the diet by gender, which can be obtained from the Department of Health or related agencies.

The water supply area needs to investigate the water quality and produce data such as the proportion or quantity of minerals in the water. Of course, it is also possible to obtain information such as mineral content data of water quality from the water company or other research institutions. The water supply area is also an important factor that must be calculated for mineral content. Moreover, eating habits, physical and mental state, and personal weight are also factors that affect mineral intake. Generally, this part of the information can be obtained from the nutritionist's research report. Therefore, the present invention calculates the mineral intake amount according to the input personal weight data, and calculates the daily drinking water mineral supplement amount, and the formula of the supplementary amount is

M = (a-b-c) × d × e / standard reference body weight, wherein

a is the recommended intake of human minerals according to the age of sex;

b is the average mineral intake in the diet based on the age of sex;

c is to calculate daily drinking water mineral intake according to the average water quality of the water supply area;

d is to calculate the multiplication factor according to the choice of personal eating habits and special physical and mental state; and

e Calculate mineral intake for input of personal weight data.

The daily drinking capacity of each person is matched with the personal daily drinking water amount L, and the calculated mineral replenishing amount is added on average in the water discharging time T. After the above calculations, the recommended intake of minerals to be replenished can be obtained. If the amount of drinking water exceeds the set daily water consumption, the supply of minerals should be stopped and automatically switched to purified water or other formula drinking water.

The method for manufacturing the mineral water of the present invention includes the steps of inputting basic materials, selecting a water supply area, selecting eating habits and physical and mental states, and inputting personal weight data, which is not a certain procedure. That is, the present invention can freely adjust the order of each step without affecting the manufacture of mineral water of the present invention. Therefore, the spirit of the present invention is to provide mineral water suitable for the mineral content of an individual, and therefore all the same ideas as the spirit of the present invention are also protected by the present invention.

The sources of each database refer to the recommended intake of human and mineral substances published by the Department of Health, as well as the analysis of the Department of Health's investigation report and the water quality analysis report of the water company. According to the difference of residence, gender, different age groups, eating habits, physical and mental state. In addition to the impact on mineral intake, establish a background database of daily mineral intake of the human body, and after inputting personal data, calculate the daily mineral deficiency of the individual, that is, the recommended amount of mineral supplement.

2 is a schematic flow chart of an embodiment of a method for producing mineral water according to the present invention. This embodiment is exemplified by calcium supplementation, but the spirit of the present invention is not limited to calcium. Because most minerals can use the present invention to make mineral water that is suitable for personal consumption to replenish minerals.

Specific embodiment

This embodiment is supplemented with calcium minerals and/or other minerals. First, input basic personal data to obtain information on human mineral intake and average mineral intake in the diet. Basic information includes personal information such as name, code or representative pattern. The code or representative pattern can represent someone's name and other information. Then, enter basic information including gender and age. In this embodiment, for example, selecting a female and selecting an adult, please refer to Table 1. The recommended intake of calcium is 1000 mg, the age is 25 years old, and the average intake of calcium in the diet is 496 mg.

When the basic data is entered, and then the water supply area is selected, please refer to Table 1. The water content of the water in Hsinchu is about 65mg.

Then, choose eating habits and physical and mental state, please refer to Table 1. For partial feeding, normal body and mind, calculate the multiplying factor and set it to 1.3.

Enter the individual's weight and calculate the calcium intake. For example, if the weight is 55kg, the amount of calcium supplement for drinking water produced by the mineral water machine per person per day is calculated as M=(abc)×d×e/standard reference weight, ie M=(1000-496-65) × 1.3 × 55 / 50, here the standard reference weight is assumed to be 50 kg, so the amount of drinking water mineral supplement M is 628 mg. Therefore, the individual sets the daily drinking water amount of 1L, the water flow rate is 2L/min, and the calculated calcium supplement amount is added on average within 0.5min of the water discharge time. The calcium supplement liquid concentration is 10000mg/L, then the calcium supplement liquid is added with the flow rate F (mL/min). ) = (628 mg / 10000 mg / L) × 1000 / 0.5 min = 125.6 mL / min.

If the amount of drinking water exceeds the set daily water consumption, for example, if the amount of drinking water exceeds the set daily water consumption by 1L , the supply of minerals should be stopped and automatically switched to purified water or other formula drinking water.
