BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

1 to 4 show a first embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1, the container 11 of the water heater is a cylindrical body having an upper opening, and the upper opening of the container 11 is interposed through a seal member 12. It is blocked by the lid 13. A water supply pipe 15 constituting a water supply port 14 is provided on the side wall of the lower part of the container 11 and is connected to a water pipe (supply side). A lead-out pipe 17 constituting a lead-out port 16 is provided at the center of the lid 13 and is connected to a water pipe (demand side).

[0012] Inside the container 11, a plurality of partition plates 18 each having a disk force, in the present embodiment, are arranged at intervals in the vertical direction. In addition, a punching plate 19 in which a large number of through holes are provided in a circular plate is provided at the uppermost stage inside the container 11. A plurality of support plates 18 are supported between the three partition plates 18 and between the uppermost partition plate 18 and the punching plate 19. The partition plate 18 and the punching plate 19 are arranged in a horizontal state supported by the shaft 19a.

[0013] Since the three partition plates 18 have the same shape, one of them will be described. As shown in FIG. 2 to FIG. 4, the material is, for example, SUS304 and has a disk shape with a plate thickness of lmm. The outer diameter is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the container 11. The partition plate 18 has, for example, three kinds of round water holes 20 through which a large diameter hole 20a having an inner diameter of 6 mm φ, for example, an inner diameter force mm φ, a medium diameter hole 20b, for example, a small diameter hole 20c having an inner diameter of 2 mm φ, and 20c. Is drilled.

[0014] A large number of medium-diameter holes 20b and small-diameter holes 20cd are concentrated in the central portion of the partition plate 18. Further, large-diameter holes 20a and medium-diameter holes 20b are arranged radially from the central portion of the partition plate 18 toward the outer peripheral portion. Further, in order to generate a swirl flow in the water flow inside the container 11, a plurality of, in the present embodiment, four blade plates 21 are arranged at 90 ° intervals in the circumferential direction. These blades 21 are formed of cut and raised pieces that are obliquely cut upward from the surface of the partition plate 18, and these cut and raised pieces are all in the same direction and at the same angle (for example, α = 30). It is inclined at °). Therefore, the partition plate 18 is provided with a substantially rectangular water flow hole 22 by cutting up and generating a swirl flow by the blade plate 21 through which the water flow rising through the water flow hole 22 and rising inside the container 11 is inclined. It is supposed to be.

As shown in FIG. 1, ceramic particles and natural stones are accommodated as filter media 23 in the upper part of each partition plate 18. These filter media 23 are agitated between the upper partition plate 18 and the punching plate 19 by the water flow rising through the partition plate 18.

Next, the action of the water heater configured as described above will be described.

[0017] The tap water supplied to the inside of the container 11 from the water supply port 14 at the lower part of the container 11 is a force that first rises through the water flow holes 20 of the lowermost partition plate 18. The water flow holes 20 are large-diameter holes. Three types of holes 20a, medium-diameter holes 20b, and small-diameter holes 20c are formed in combination. Therefore, the water column in the large-diameter hole 20a is low, while the water column in the small-diameter hole 20c is high and the water column in the medium-diameter hole 20b is in the middle. Therefore, three types of water columns having different heights are formed on the upper portion of the partition plate 18. Furthermore, since the slats 21 are inclined in the same direction and at the same angle, the water flow that passes through the water flow holes 22 and rises inside the container 11 is tilted upward by the slats 21 that are inclined, and the force of the container 11 is also increased. Bending in the circumferential direction generates a swirling flow. Therefore, the filter medium 23 on the upper side of the partition plate 18 is formed by the water column and the swirling flow. As a result, the tap water is efficiently brought into contact with the filter medium 23 and activated. That is, in the swirling water stream, the radiant energy of the filter medium 23 is transmitted to the tap water and activated.

[0018] When the water flow passes through the lowermost partition plate 18 and passes through the middle partition plate 18 and the uppermost partition plate 18 in this order from the bottom, the filter medium 23 on the upper portion of the partition plate 18 is Stirred by the water column and swirling flow, tap water is efficiently brought into contact with the filter medium 23 and activated. In the swirling water stream, the radiant energy of the filter medium 23 is transmitted to the tap water and activated. The activated water is led from the outlet 16 to the demand side, and tap water can generate natural water (water with a molecular structure) just by passing through the water heater.

In the first embodiment, the four blade plates 21 are provided on the partition plate 18, but the number of the blade plates 21 is not limited, and the inclination angle is not limited to 30 °. If it is an angle where a swirl flow is generated inside 11, please!

FIG. 5 and FIG. 6 show a second embodiment and are plan views of a partition plate. This embodiment is a partition plate 24 having a diameter larger than that of the partition plate 18 of the first embodiment, and is made of, for example, SUS304 and has a disk shape with a plate thickness of 1 mm. Similarly to the first embodiment, the partition plate 24 has a large-diameter hole 20a having an inner diameter of 6 mm, for example, an inner-diameter hole 20b, for example, an inner-diameter hole 20b, for example, an inner diameter of 20 mm, and a small-diameter hole 20c having an inner diameter of 2 mm. Three kinds of circular holes 20 are drilled.

In the partition plate 24, four large blades 25 are arranged at intervals of 90 ° in the circumferential direction on the outer peripheral side in order to generate a swirl flow in the water flow inside the container 11. Further, four small blades 26 are arranged at 90 ° intervals in the circumferential direction between the large blades 25 on the inner peripheral side of the partition plate 24. These blades 25 and 26 are formed of cut and raised pieces obliquely raised above the partition plate 24, and these cut and raised pieces are all in the same direction and at the same angle (for example, α = 30 °). It is inclined to. Accordingly, the partition plate 24 is provided with a substantially rectangular water flow hole by being cut and raised, and the water flow that passes through the water flow hole and rises inside the container 11 generates a swirling flow by the blade plates 25 and 26. In addition, the same effect as the first embodiment is obtained.
