Description

弱酸性電解水生成装置Weakly acidic electrolyzed water generator
　本発明は、弱酸性電解水生成装置に関し、特に原水を電極部に通すことで弱酸性を有する電解水を生成する装置に関する。 The present invention relates to a weakly acidic electrolyzed water generating apparatus, and more particularly to an apparatus for generating electrolyzed water having weak acidity by passing raw water through an electrode part.
　電解水は、優れた殺菌、除菌、消毒作用を有するとともに安全性が高いので、一般家庭の台所等で利用されている。また、電解水は、人体の消毒除菌、特に手指の洗浄や消毒、医療分野における利用、例えば皮膚、創傷部、患部、切開部、留置カテーテルの経皮開口部、ストーマ（人工肛門）、肛門等の殺菌、消毒に使用することが検討されている。 Electrolyzed water has excellent sterilization, sterilization, disinfection action and high safety, and is used in general household kitchens. Electrolyzed water is also used for disinfection and sterilization of the human body, especially cleaning and disinfection of fingers, use in the medical field, such as skin, wound, affected area, incision, percutaneous opening of indwelling catheter, stoma (colostomy), anus It is considered to be used for sterilization and disinfection.
　電解水は、原水（被電解水）の電気分解度を上げるために、溶解によりイオンを生じる溶質、例えば塩化ナトリウム、塩化カリウム、塩化マグネシウム、炭酸カルシウム等を添加して、電気分解することで得られる。あるいは、電解水は、場合によっては、溶解によりイオンを生じる溶質と、ｐＨ調整のための酸をさらに添加した水を電気分解することで得られる。 Electrolyzed water is obtained by electrolysis by adding a solute that generates ions upon dissolution, such as sodium chloride, potassium chloride, magnesium chloride, calcium carbonate, etc., in order to increase the electrolysis degree of the raw water (electrolyzed water). It is done. Or electrolysis water is obtained by electrolyzing the solute which produces an ion by melt | dissolution depending on the case, and the water which further added the acid for pH adjustment.
　このような電解水を生成する装置は、特許文献１に開示されている。特許文献１に開示されている電解水生成装置は、ドリップ式の装置であり、電解水を生成する装置本体と、装置本体に対して着脱可能に収容される容器を有している。装置本体は、基台と、ケース本体と、被電解水の貯留部と、被電解水を電気分解して電解水にする電解部を有する。電解部は、電解槽と、電解槽内に対向して配置された一対の電極板を有する。 An apparatus for generating such electrolyzed water is disclosed in Patent Document 1. The electrolyzed water generating device disclosed in Patent Document 1 is a drip-type device, and includes an apparatus main body that generates electrolyzed water and a container that is detachably accommodated in the apparatus main body. The apparatus main body includes a base, a case main body, an electrolyzed water storage unit, and an electrolyzing unit that electrolyzes the electrolyzed water into electrolyzed water. The electrolysis unit includes an electrolysis tank and a pair of electrode plates disposed to face each other in the electrolysis tank.
　まず、被電解水を貯留部に一旦溜める。次に、スイッチをオンすると、電流制御回路は、一対の電極板間に通電し、同時に電流制御回路は、ソレノイドに通電してプランジャを伸ばしてチューブを開く。これにより、貯留部内の被電解水は、落差によりチューブを通って一対の電極板間を通過する。被電解水が一対の電極板間を通過すると、電気分解されて電解水が生成されるようになっている。 First, electrolyzed water is once stored in the storage part. Next, when the switch is turned on, the current control circuit energizes between the pair of electrode plates, and at the same time, the current control circuit energizes the solenoid to extend the plunger and open the tube. Thereby, the electrolyzed water in the storage part passes between the pair of electrode plates through the tube by a drop. When the water to be electrolyzed passes between the pair of electrode plates, the electrolyzed water is generated by electrolysis.

　しかし、従来の電解水生成装置では、被電解水を電気分解するためには、起動用のスイッチと、チューブを開閉するためのソレノイドとを設ける必要があり、装置の小型化と省電力化が図れない。
　また、被電解水を貯留部にいったん溜めて、次にスイッチをオンして一対の電極板間に通電する。同時に、ソレノイドに通電してプランジャを伸ばしてチューブを開かないと、貯留部内の被電解水は電気分解することができない。このため、従来の装置の小型化が図ることが難しい。
　そして、装置を小型化して、実際に電解水を生成しようとする場合には、被電解水の電解効率を上げることができない。
　そこで、上記課題を解消するために、本発明は、小型化と省電力化が図れる弱酸性電解水生成装置を提供することを第１の目的とする。
　また、本発明は、小型化が図れ、小型であっても被電解水の電解効率を上げることができる弱酸性電解水生成装置を提供することを第２の目的とする。 However, in the conventional electrolyzed water generating device, in order to electrolyze the water to be electrolyzed, it is necessary to provide a start switch and a solenoid for opening and closing the tube, which reduces the size and power consumption of the device. I can't figure it out.
Further, the electrolyzed water is once stored in the storage unit, and then the switch is turned on to energize between the pair of electrode plates. At the same time, the electrolyzed water in the reservoir cannot be electrolyzed unless the solenoid is energized to extend the plunger and open the tube. For this reason, it is difficult to reduce the size of the conventional device.
And when reducing an apparatus and actually trying to produce | generate electrolyzed water, the electrolysis efficiency of electrolyzed water cannot be raised.
Then, in order to eliminate the said subject, this invention sets it as the 1st objective to provide the weak acidic electrolyzed water generating apparatus which can attain size reduction and power saving.

　図１に示すように、収容部１２と原水供給部１３は、本体部１１の軸方向ＣＬに沿って配置されており、収容部１２は原水供給部１３の下部に位置されている。収容部１２は、円筒状の収容空間部１２Ｂと、別の収容空間部１２Ｃにより構成されている。本体部１１の前面側であって収容部１２の上部位置には、表示ランプＬが配置されている。この表示ランプＬは、例えば発光ダイオードランプであり、原水が後で説明する一対の電極板間を通過して電気分解の動作がなされている間だけ、ＬＥＤで点灯表示するようになっている。なお、乾電池（単３電池４ケを直列に配置）の電圧が所定以下、４Ｖ（ボルト）以下になると、ＬＥＤでオレンジ色のアラーム表示する表示部を更に設けてもよい。 As shown in FIG. 2, the main-body part 11 can be made into the columnar form by which one part was made into concave shape as a whole, for example. That is, the main body part 11 includes a storage part 12 and a raw water supply part 13.
As shown in FIG. 1, the accommodating part 12 and the raw water supply part 13 are arranged along the axial direction CL of the main body part 11, and the accommodating part 12 is located in the lower part of the raw water supply part 13. The accommodating portion 12 is configured by a cylindrical accommodating space portion 12B and another accommodating space portion 12C. A display lamp L is arranged on the front side of the main body 11 and at an upper position of the housing 12. The display lamp L is, for example, a light emitting diode lamp, and is lit and displayed by an LED only while raw water passes between a pair of electrode plates described later and electrolysis is performed. In addition, when the voltage of a dry cell (4 AA batteries are arranged in series) becomes a predetermined value or less and 4 V (volts) or less, a display unit that displays an orange alarm with an LED may be further provided.
　図１に示すように、電解水貯留部（容器ともいう）１００は、ボトル１０１と、スプレーノズル部（噴射装置）１０２を有しており、例えばテーブルの上に置くことができる。スプレーノズル部１０２は、ボトル１０１に対して例えばねじ込みにより着脱可能に接続されている。
　図１に示す収容部１２内にはボトル１０１だけが収容されるようになっている。収容部１２の収容空間部１２Ｂには、電解水貯留部１００のボトル１０１を着脱可能にはめ込んで収容できる。別の収容空間部１２Ｃは、収容空間部１２Ｂの上部において連続して軸方向ＣＬに沿って形成されている。別の収容空間部１２Ｃは、収容空間部１２Ｂとは異なり、軸方向ＣＬと直交する方向に膨らんだ凹曲面形状になっている。これにより、図２に示すように、ボトル１０１の外周面と別の収容空間部１２Ｃの内周面の間には、使用者の指が入るだけの空間が形成できる。 As shown in FIG. 1, the electrolyzed water storage unit (also referred to as a container) 100 includes a bottle 101 and a spray nozzle unit (injection device) 102, and can be placed on a table, for example. The spray nozzle portion 102 is detachably connected to the bottle 101 by, for example, screwing.
Only the bottle 101 is accommodated in the accommodating part 12 shown in FIG. The bottle 101 of the electrolyzed water storage unit 100 can be detachably fitted in the storage space 12B of the storage unit 12 and stored. Another accommodating space portion 12C is formed continuously along the axial direction CL in the upper part of the accommodating space portion 12B. Unlike the accommodation space portion 12B, the other accommodation space portion 12C has a concave curved surface shape that swells in a direction orthogonal to the axial direction CL. Thereby, as shown in FIG. 2, a space for the user's finger to enter can be formed between the outer peripheral surface of the bottle 101 and the inner peripheral surface of another accommodating space 12 </ b> C.
　このため、使用者が電解水を充填する前にボトル１０１を本体部１１の収容部１２にはめ込んだり、電解水を充填後にボトル１０１を本体部１１の収容部１２から取り外す際に、使用者は指によりボトル１０１を把持し易く、ボトル１０１の着脱作業が容易にしかも確実に行える。しかも、ボトル１０１の下部は収容空間部１２Ｂ内にはめ込んで着脱可能に固定することができるので、収容部１２はボトル１０１内に電解水を充填する際にボトル１０１を確実に保持できる。 For this reason, when the user inserts the bottle 101 into the housing part 12 of the main body part 11 before filling the electrolytic water or removes the bottle 101 from the housing part 12 of the main body part 11 after filling the electrolytic water, The bottle 101 can be easily grasped with a finger, and the attachment and detachment work of the bottle 101 can be easily and reliably performed. Moreover, since the lower part of the bottle 101 can be fitted into the accommodation space 12B and fixed detachably, the accommodation part 12 can reliably hold the bottle 101 when the bottle 101 is filled with electrolyzed water.
　図３に示すように、本体部１１は、例えばプラスチックにより作られている。本体部１１は、内部に目盛りを付けて計量カップの機能をも備えた蓋部材１４と、電池ホルダー１５と、カバー部材１６を有している。蓋部材１４は、原水供給部１３の上部開口１９を着脱可能に閉鎖することができる。電池ホルダー１５は本体部１１内の背面開口部１８に配置されて、複数本の電池１７を着脱可能に装着することができる。この背面開口部１８は、前面側の収容部１２の反対側に形成されている。　カバー部材１６は、電池ホルダー１５の外面を覆い、しかも背面開口部１８を着脱可能に閉鎖するようになっている。原水供給部１３の上部開口１９から蓋部材１４を取り外すことにより、原水供給部１３は後で説明する原水ボトルの原水Ｗを原水供給部１３内に供給して一旦収容することができる。
　図４に示すように、電解水貯留部１００のボトル１０１は、口部１０３を有しており、ボトル１０１は収容部１２内に矢印Ｒ方向に沿って収容される。図４では、カバー部材１６の一部が欠き取られており、原水通過部２０の一部が取り出して示されている。なお、３１ａは電極板３１の外部端子、３２ａは、電極板３２の外部端子である。 As shown in FIG. 3, the main body 11 is made of, for example, plastic. The main body 11 includes a lid member 14, a battery holder 15, and a cover member 16 that are calibrated inside and also have the function of a measuring cup. The lid member 14 can detachably close the upper opening 19 of the raw water supply unit 13. The battery holder 15 is disposed in the rear opening 18 in the main body 11 so that a plurality of batteries 17 can be detachably mounted. The back surface opening 18 is formed on the opposite side of the front side housing portion 12. The cover member 16 covers the outer surface of the battery holder 15 and closes the rear opening 18 so as to be detachable. By removing the lid member 14 from the upper opening 19 of the raw water supply unit 13, the raw water supply unit 13 can supply the raw water W of a raw water bottle, which will be described later, into the raw water supply unit 13 and temporarily store it.
As shown in FIG. 4, the bottle 101 of the electrolyzed water storage unit 100 has a mouth part 103, and the bottle 101 is accommodated in the accommodation part 12 along the arrow R direction. In FIG. 4, a part of the cover member 16 is cut away, and a part of the raw water passage part 20 is taken out and shown. In addition, 31a is an external terminal of the electrode plate 31, and 32a is an external terminal of the electrode plate 32.
　図５は、弱酸性電解水生成装置１０の本体部１１内に配置された原水供給部１３と、本体部１１内に配置された原水通過部２０の構造例を示している。そこで、図５を参照して、弱酸性電解水生成装置１０の原水供給部１３と原水通過部２０の構造を説明する。図５では、本体部１１の収容部１２内にはボトル１０１がすでに装着された状態を示している。
　先ず、原水供給部１３は、図５に示すように、本体部１１に設けられた原水の一時貯留部であるが、原水ボトル１２０と、原水供給部１３とによって、本発明における「前記電解水貯留部に収容可能な前記電解水の容量に対して、該容量を超えることの無い量の前記原水だけを供給する構成」という特徴ある構成を実現している。
　すなわち、原水ボトル１２０及び／または原水供給部１３の容量が、電解水の貯留のためのボトル１０１の容量を超えることがないように設定している。
　例えば、原水ボトル２０自体の容量を、電解水の貯留のためのボトル１０１の容量を超えないようにすることにより、一回に生成使用する電解水の量を決めて、予めそのように容量決定された原水ボトル１２０を装置とセットで、あるいは原水ボトル１２０だけを個別に、もしくは何本かセットで購入できるようにすれば、使用者に便宜である。
　あるいは、原水供給部１３に例えば目盛等を設けたり、容量自体を制限することにより、多量に収容された原水ボトル１２０から原水Ｗを注いだ場合にも、電解水の貯留用のボトル１０１の容量を超えない量を使用者が容易に判断して、該原水供給部１３に注ぐことができる。
　この実施形態では、原水ボトル１２０の容量は、ボトル１０１の容量と同じである。 FIG. 5 shows a structural example of the raw water supply unit 13 disposed in the main body 11 of the weakly acidic electrolyzed water generating device 10 and the raw water passage 20 disposed in the main body 11. Then, with reference to FIG. 5, the structure of the raw | natural water supply part 13 and the raw | natural water passage part 20 of the weak acidic electrolyzed water generating apparatus 10 is demonstrated. FIG. 5 shows a state in which the bottle 101 is already mounted in the housing portion 12 of the main body portion 11.
First, as shown in FIG. 5, the raw water supply unit 13 is a temporary storage unit of the raw water provided in the main body unit 11, and the raw water bottle 120 and the raw water supply unit 13 provide the “electrolyzed water” according to the present invention. The characteristic structure of "the structure which supplies only the quantity of the raw | natural water which does not exceed this capacity | capacitance with respect to the capacity | capacitance of the said electrolyzed water which can be accommodated in the storage part is implement | achieved.
That is, it sets so that the capacity | capacitance of the raw | natural water bottle 120 and / or the raw | natural water supply part 13 may not exceed the capacity | capacitance of the bottle 101 for storage of electrolyzed water.
For example, by determining the volume of the raw water bottle 20 itself so as not to exceed the capacity of the bottle 101 for storing the electrolyzed water, the amount of electrolyzed water to be generated and used at one time is determined, and the capacity is determined in advance. It is convenient for the user to make it possible to purchase the raw water bottle 120 as a set with the apparatus, or to purchase only the raw water bottle 120 individually or in sets.
Alternatively, when the raw water W is poured from the raw water bottle 120 accommodated in a large amount, for example, by providing a scale or the like in the raw water supply unit 13 or limiting the capacity itself, the capacity of the bottle 101 for storing the electrolyzed water The user can easily determine the amount that does not exceed the value and pour it into the raw water supply unit 13.
In this embodiment, the capacity of the raw water bottle 120 is the same as the capacity of the bottle 101.
　図５に示すように、原水供給部１３は、本体部１１の最も上端部分に配置されていて、側周囲部分２１と、底面部分２２から構成されている。側周囲部分２１は、軸方向ＣＬを中心として形成されている。底面部分２２は側周囲部分２１に連続して形成されており、底面部分２２は１つの開口２３を有している。
　図５に示すように、この開口２３の中心位置Ｔは、軸方向ＣＬから偏移量Ｇだけ水平方向にずれた位置に形成されている。底面部分２２は、開口２３に向けて下方向に向けて僅かに傾斜した傾斜面である。これにより、開口２３の中心位置Ｔが軸方向ＣＬから偏移量Ｇだけずれた位置に形成されているので、開口２３の中心位置Ｔが軸方向ＣＬに一致している場合に比べて、原水通過部２０の経路をより長く確保して形成することができる。 As shown in FIG. 5, the raw water supply unit 13 is disposed at the uppermost end portion of the main body 11, and includes a side peripheral portion 21 and a bottom surface portion 22. The side peripheral portion 21 is formed around the axial direction CL. The bottom surface portion 22 is formed continuously with the side peripheral portion 21, and the bottom surface portion 22 has one opening 23.
As shown in FIG. 5, the center position T of the opening 23 is formed at a position shifted in the horizontal direction by a shift amount G from the axial direction CL. The bottom surface portion 22 is an inclined surface that is slightly inclined downward toward the opening 23. Thereby, since the center position T of the opening 23 is formed at a position shifted by the shift amount G from the axial direction CL, the raw water is compared with the case where the center position T of the opening 23 matches the axial direction CL. The path of the passage part 20 can be ensured and formed longer.
　この原水供給部１３の側周囲部分２１と底面部分２２は、例えば軟質系材料または硬質系材料により形成されている。軟質系材料としては、例えば天然ゴム、ブチルゴム等の各種ゴム材料を用いることができるが特に限定されない。硬質系材料としては、例えば、ポリ塩化ビニル、ポリエチレン、ポリプロピレン、ポリエチレンテレフタレート等のプラスチック材料を用いることができるが特に限定されない。 The side peripheral portion 21 and the bottom portion 22 of the raw water supply unit 13 are made of, for example, a soft material or a hard material. As the soft material, for example, various rubber materials such as natural rubber and butyl rubber can be used, but are not particularly limited. As the hard material, for example, plastic materials such as polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene, polypropylene, and polyethylene terephthalate can be used, but are not particularly limited.
　図５に示すように、原水通過部２０は、原水供給部１３の底面部分２２の開口２３の下部であって、しかも本体部１１内に配置されている。原水通過部２０は、例えば原水供給部１３の硬質系材料と同じ硬質系材料により作られている。
　原水通過部２０は、屈曲通路部３０と、電極部の一例である一対の電極板３１，３２を備える。屈曲通路部３０は、第１傾斜通路部３３と、第２傾斜通路部３４と、第３傾斜通路部３５を有している。一方の電極板３１はマイナス電極であり、他方の電極板３２はプラス電極である。 As shown in FIG. 5, the raw water passage portion 20 is disposed below the opening 23 of the bottom surface portion 22 of the raw water supply portion 13 and in the main body portion 11. The raw water passage part 20 is made of, for example, the same hard material as that of the raw water supply part 13.
The raw water passage portion 20 includes a bent passage portion 30 and a pair of electrode plates 31 and 32 which are examples of electrode portions. The bent passage portion 30 includes a first inclined passage portion 33, a second inclined passage portion 34, and a third inclined passage portion 35. One electrode plate 31 is a minus electrode, and the other electrode plate 32 is a plus electrode.
第１傾斜通路部３３の第１端部３３Ｂは、原水供給部１３の開口２３に接続されている。第１傾斜通路部３３の第２端部３３Ｃは、第２傾斜通路部３４の第１端部３４Ｂに接続されている。第２傾斜通路部３４の第２端部３４Ｃは、第３傾斜通路部３５の第１端部３５Ｂに接続されている。第３傾斜通路部３５の第２端部３５Ｃは、電解水放出開口３６を構成している。この電解水放出開口３６は、ボトル１０１の口部１０３内に挿入される高さに位置されている。電解水放出開口３６の外形寸法は、口部１０３の内径よりも小さく設定されている。これにより、電解水放出開口３６は口部１０３に対して容易に挿入可能である。なお、電極端子３１ａ，３２ａは第２端部３３Ｃから液密に突出して設けられている。 The first end portion 33 </ b> B of the first inclined passage portion 33 is connected to the opening 23 of the raw water supply portion 13. The second end portion 33 </ b> C of the first inclined passage portion 33 is connected to the first end portion 34 </ b> B of the second inclined passage portion 34. The second end portion 34 </ b> C of the second inclined passage portion 34 is connected to the first end portion 35 </ b> B of the third inclined passage portion 35. The second end portion 35 </ b> C of the third inclined passage portion 35 constitutes an electrolyzed water discharge opening 36. The electrolyzed water discharge opening 36 is positioned at a height to be inserted into the mouth portion 103 of the bottle 101. The outer dimension of the electrolyzed water discharge opening 36 is set smaller than the inner diameter of the mouth portion 103. Thereby, the electrolyzed water discharge opening 36 can be easily inserted into the mouth portion 103. The electrode terminals 31a and 32a are provided so as to protrude liquid-tightly from the second end portion 33C.
　第１傾斜通路部３３は、水平線ＨＬに対して傾斜角度θ１だけ傾斜されている。水平線ＨＬは、軸方向ＣＬに対して直交する方向である。この傾斜角度θ１は、例えば５°～６０°であることが好ましい。もし、傾斜角度θ１が５°よりも小さいと、原水Ｗが流れにくくなるので好ましくない。また、傾斜角度θ１が６０°よりも大きいと、一対の電極板３１，３２の長さが短くなり、十分に原水Ｗが電気分解できなくなるおそれがあり、また本体部１１の高さが高くなるので好ましくない。第１傾斜通路部３３の通路断面積は、第２傾斜通路部３４の通路断面積に比べて大きく設定されている。 The first inclined passage portion 33 is inclined by an inclination angle θ1 with respect to the horizontal line HL. The horizontal line HL is a direction orthogonal to the axial direction CL. The inclination angle θ1 is preferably 5 ° to 60 °, for example. If the inclination angle θ1 is smaller than 5 °, it is not preferable because the raw water W hardly flows. When the inclination angle θ1 is larger than 60 °, the length of the pair of electrode plates 31 and 32 is shortened, and there is a possibility that the raw water W cannot be sufficiently electrolyzed, and the height of the main body 11 is increased. Therefore, it is not preferable. The passage sectional area of the first inclined passage portion 33 is set larger than the passage sectional area of the second inclined passage portion 34.
　図５に示す第２傾斜通路部３４は、水平線ＨＬに対して傾斜角度θ２だけ傾斜されている。この傾斜角度θ２は、例えば５°～６０°であることが好ましい。もし、傾斜角度θ２が５°よりも小さいと、原水Ｗが流れにくくなり原水Ｗの電気分解効率が低下するので好ましくない。また、傾斜角度θ２が６０°よりも大きいと、一対の電極板３１，３２の長さが短くなり、十分に原水Ｗが電気分解できなくなるおそれがあり、また、本体部１１の高さが高くなるので好ましくない。
　図６は、図５に示す第２傾斜通路部３４のＤ－Ｄ線における断面構造例を示している。
　第２傾斜通路部３４内には、一対の電極板３１，３２が装着されている。一対の電極板３１，３２は、第２傾斜通路部３４内において電極板間隔Ｓをおいて平行に配置されている。一対の電極板３１，３２が、第２傾斜通路部３４内に置いて軸方向ＣＬに平行に間隔をおいて配置されている。電極板３１，３２の構成材料としては、例えばチタン、銅、ステンレス等の基材３８に対して、白金、金等の貴金属層３９がコーティングされた積層された構造ある。特に基材３８としてはチタンが好ましい。しかし、電極板３１，３２の材質や積層構造はこれに限らず、任意に選択できる。 The second inclined passage 34 shown in FIG. 5 is inclined by an inclination angle θ2 with respect to the horizontal line HL. The inclination angle θ2 is preferably 5 ° to 60 °, for example. If the inclination angle θ2 is smaller than 5 °, the raw water W hardly flows and the electrolysis efficiency of the raw water W decreases, which is not preferable. In addition, if the inclination angle θ2 is larger than 60 °, the length of the pair of electrode plates 31 and 32 is shortened, and the raw water W may not be sufficiently electrolyzed, and the height of the main body 11 is high. This is not preferable.
FIG. 6 shows an example of a sectional structure taken along line DD of the second inclined passage portion 34 shown in FIG.
A pair of electrode plates 31 and 32 are mounted in the second inclined passage portion 34. The pair of electrode plates 31 and 32 are arranged in parallel with the electrode plate interval S in the second inclined passage portion 34. A pair of electrode plates 31 and 32 are placed in the second inclined passage portion 34 and arranged in parallel with each other in the axial direction CL. As a constituent material of the electrode plates 31 and 32, for example, a base material 38 such as titanium, copper, or stainless steel is laminated with a noble metal layer 39 such as platinum or gold. In particular, the substrate 38 is preferably titanium. However, the material and laminated structure of the electrode plates 31 and 32 are not limited to this, and can be arbitrarily selected.
　図５に戻ると、第３傾斜通路部３５は、水平線ＨＬに対して傾斜角度θ３だけ傾斜されている。この傾斜角度θ３は、例えば５°～６０°であることが好ましい。もし、傾斜角度θ３が５°よりも小さいと、電気分解により生成された電解水の供給効率が低下するので好ましくない。また、傾斜角度θ３が６０°よりも大きいと、電解水放出開口３６が口部１０３に対して挿入しにくくなり、また、本体部１１の高さが高くなるので好ましくない。第３傾斜通路部３５の通路断面積は、第２の第２傾斜通路部３４の通路断面積に比べて小さく設定されている。 Referring back to FIG. 5, the third inclined passage portion 35 is inclined by the inclination angle θ3 with respect to the horizontal line HL. The inclination angle θ3 is preferably 5 ° to 60 °, for example. If the inclination angle θ3 is smaller than 5 °, the supply efficiency of the electrolyzed water generated by electrolysis is lowered, which is not preferable. Further, if the inclination angle θ3 is larger than 60 °, it is difficult to insert the electrolyzed water discharge opening 36 into the mouth portion 103, and the height of the main body portion 11 is not preferable. The passage sectional area of the third inclined passage portion 35 is set smaller than the passage sectional area of the second second inclined passage portion 34.
　図７は、図５と図６に示す一対の電極板３１，３２を含む電気回路部４０の構成例を示している。
　電気回路部４０は、一対の電極板３１，３２は、電池１７と、制御部４１と、表示ランプＬを備えている。マイクロコンピュータの機能を備えた制御部（ＣＰＵ）４１は、電池１７が一対の電極板３１，３２に供給する電流値を制御する。しかも、制御部４１は、一対の電極板３１，３２間に原水Ｗが通過した状態を検知して、制御部４１は、一対の電極板３１，３２により電解水を生成している間、表示ランプＬを点灯表示させることができる。これにより、図１に示す表示ランプＬが点灯表示することから、使用者はこの表示ランプＬが点灯している間は、一対の電極板３１，３２間に原水Ｗが通過して、原水Ｗを電気分解している状態であることを、目視で確認することができる。 FIG. 7 shows a configuration example of the electric circuit unit 40 including the pair of electrode plates 31 and 32 shown in FIGS.
The electric circuit unit 40 includes a pair of electrode plates 31 and 32, a battery 17, a control unit 41, and a display lamp L. A control unit (CPU) 41 having a microcomputer function controls the current value that the battery 17 supplies to the pair of electrode plates 31 and 32. Moreover, the control unit 41 detects a state in which the raw water W has passed between the pair of electrode plates 31 and 32, and the control unit 41 displays while the electrolyzed water is generated by the pair of electrode plates 31 and 32. The lamp L can be turned on. Accordingly, since the display lamp L shown in FIG. 1 is turned on, the user passes the raw water W between the pair of electrode plates 31 and 32 while the display lamp L is lit. It can be visually confirmed that is in a state of being electrolyzed.
　次に、上述した構成の弱酸性電解水生成装置１０の動作例を説明する。
　図８は、弱酸性電解水生成装置１０の動作例を示している。
　原水ボトル１２０の容量は、好ましくはボトル１０１の容量と同じに設定されている。原水ボトル１２０内には、所定量の原水（被電解水）が収容されている。原水は、所定の塩化物を含む水である。塩化物としては、例えば塩化ナトリウム、塩化カルシウム、安価カリウム、塩化マグネシウム等が採用出来るができるが、特に塩化ナトリウムが好ましい。
　また、原水Ｗ中には、少なくとも１種のｐＨ調整剤が好ましくは含まれている。ｐＨ調整剤としては、例えば塩酸、コハク酸、酢酸、酒石酸、クエン酸等を採用できるが、電気分解により生成された有効塩素の経過時間による活性低下の程度が低いコハク酸と酢酸が好ましい。なお、原水Ｗの保存性を保ったり、弱酸性電解水生成装置１０にカビが発生するのを防止するため、保存料としてパラベンを含むことが好ましい。 Next, an operation example of the weakly acidic electrolyzed water generating device 10 having the above-described configuration will be described.
FIG. 8 shows an operation example of the weakly acidic electrolyzed water generating device 10.
The capacity of the raw water bottle 120 is preferably set to be the same as the capacity of the bottle 101. A predetermined amount of raw water (electrolyzed water) is accommodated in the raw water bottle 120. The raw water is water containing a predetermined chloride. As the chloride, for example, sodium chloride, calcium chloride, inexpensive potassium, magnesium chloride and the like can be used, but sodium chloride is particularly preferable.
The raw water W preferably contains at least one pH adjuster. As the pH adjuster, for example, hydrochloric acid, succinic acid, acetic acid, tartaric acid, citric acid, and the like can be adopted, but succinic acid and acetic acid are preferred because the degree of decrease in activity due to the elapsed time of effective chlorine generated by electrolysis is low. In addition, in order to maintain the preservation | save property of raw | natural water W or to prevent generation | occurrence | production of mold | fungi in the weak acidic electrolyzed water production | generation apparatus 10, it is preferable that a paraben is included as a preservative.
　図８に示す一対の電極板３１，３２を備える第２傾斜通路部３４は、一対の電極板３１，３２の間には隔膜を配置しない無隔膜電解槽を構成している。
　図８に示すように、使用者が原水供給部１３から蓋部材１４を取って、原水ボトル１２０を持って原水ボトル１２０から原水Ｗを原水供給部１３内に供給する。供給された原水Ｗは、原水供給部１３内の開口２３を通じて、原水通過部２０の第１傾斜通路部３３と、第２傾斜通路部３４と、第３傾斜通路部３５内を落差により通過する。
　原水Ｗは、第１傾斜通路部３３から第２傾斜通路部３４内に至ると、原水Ｗが一対の電極板３１，３２間を流れることで、図７に示すように一対の電極板３１，３２間が通電して、原水Ｗの電気分解を自動的に開始する。制御部４１は、原水Ｗの電気分解を自動的に開始すると、一対の電極板３１，３２間に原水Ｗが通過している状態であることを検知して、この場合には制御部４１は表示ランプＬを点灯表示させる。これにより、図１に示す表示ランプＬが点灯表示することから、使用者はこの表示ランプＬが点灯している間は、一対の電極板３１，３２間に原水Ｗが通過して、原水Ｗを所定のｐＨ５．０～６．５になるように電気分解している状態であることを、目視で確認することができる。 The second inclined passage portion 34 including the pair of electrode plates 31 and 32 shown in FIG. 8 constitutes a non-diaphragm electrolytic cell in which no diaphragm is disposed between the pair of electrode plates 31 and 32.
As shown in FIG. 8, the user takes the lid member 14 from the raw water supply unit 13 and supplies the raw water W from the raw water bottle 120 into the raw water supply unit 13 with the raw water bottle 120. The supplied raw water W passes through the opening 23 in the raw water supply part 13 through the first inclined passage part 33, the second inclined passage part 34, and the third inclined passage part 35 of the raw water passage part 20 by a drop. .
When the raw water W reaches from the first inclined passage portion 33 into the second inclined passage portion 34, the raw water W flows between the pair of electrode plates 31, 32, and as shown in FIG. Between 32 is energized and the electrolysis of the raw water W is automatically started. When the control unit 41 automatically starts electrolysis of the raw water W, the control unit 41 detects that the raw water W is passing between the pair of electrode plates 31 and 32. In this case, the control unit 41 The display lamp L is turned on. Accordingly, since the display lamp L shown in FIG. 1 is turned on, the user passes the raw water W between the pair of electrode plates 31 and 32 while the display lamp L is lit. It can be visually confirmed that is electrolyzed to a predetermined pH of 5.0 to 6.5.
　図８に示すように、原水Ｗが一対の電極板３１，３２間で電気分解されて電解水Ｆが生成されて、この電解水Ｆは第３傾斜通路部３５と、電解水放出開口３６を通じて、ボトル１０１の口部１０３からボトル１０１内に導くことができる。
　ところで、本実施形態では、原水ボトル１２０の容量とボトル１０１の容量とは同じに設定されているので、使用者は単に原水ボトル１２０内の原水Ｗを原水供給部１３内に供給するだけで、電解水Ｆがボトル１０１からあふれることが無く、殺菌性，除菌性が極めて高い弱酸性電解水Ｆを残すことなく容易にしかも確実に収容することができる。これにより、使用者は原水Ｗから殺菌性，除菌性が極めて高い弱酸性電解水Ｆを生成してボトル１０１内に容易にしかも確実に収容することができる。
　ただ、本発明はこのような態様に限られない。原水ボトル１２０と、原水供給部１３とによって、本発明における「前記電解水貯留部に収容可能な前記電解水の容量に対して、該容量を超えることの無い量の前記原水だけを供給する構成については、既に詳述した通りである。
　また、原水ボトル１２０の容量がボトル１０１の容量未満であっても良い。これにより、使用者は単に原水ボトル１２０内の原水Ｗを収容部１２内に供給するだけで、ボトル１０１からあふれることが無く、殺菌性，除菌性が極めて高い弱酸性電解水Ｆ（ｐＨ５．０～６．５）を容易にしかも確実に収容することができる。 As shown in FIG. 8, raw water W is electrolyzed between a pair of electrode plates 31, 32 to generate electrolyzed water F. The electrolyzed water F passes through a third inclined passage portion 35 and an electrolyzed water discharge opening 36. The bottle 101 can be led into the bottle 101.
By the way, in this embodiment, since the capacity | capacitance of the raw | natural water bottle 120 and the capacity | capacitance of the bottle 101 are set the same, a user only supplies the raw | natural water W in the raw | natural water bottle 120 in the raw | natural water supply part 13, The electrolyzed water F does not overflow from the bottle 101 and can be easily and reliably accommodated without leaving the weakly acidic electrolyzed water F having extremely high bactericidal and sterilizing properties. As a result, the user can generate weakly acidic electrolyzed water F having extremely high bactericidal and sterilizing properties from the raw water W, and can easily and reliably accommodate it in the bottle 101.
However, the present invention is not limited to such a mode. By the raw water bottle 120 and the raw water supply unit 13, “a configuration in which only the raw water in an amount that does not exceed the capacity is supplied to the capacity of the electrolytic water that can be accommodated in the electrolytic water storage unit” in the present invention. Has already been described in detail.
Further, the capacity of the raw water bottle 120 may be less than the capacity of the bottle 101. As a result, the user simply supplies the raw water W in the raw water bottle 120 into the container 12 and does not overflow from the bottle 101, and the weakly acidic electrolyzed water F (pH 5. 0 to 6.5) can be accommodated easily and reliably.
　また、従来の電解水生成装置では、被電解水を電気分解するためには、起動用のスイッチと、チューブを開閉するためのソレノイドを設ける必要があり、装置の小型化と省電力化が図れなかった。これに対して、本発明の実施形態の弱酸性電解水生成装置１０は、電解水貯留部であるボトル１０１に収容可能な電解水Ｆの容量以下の容量の原水Ｗを供給することにより、一対の電極板３１，３２の間には原水Ｗが通過することで一対の電極板３１，３２間が自動的に通電するので、少なくとも起動スイッチを設ける必要が無く省略でき、原水Ｗを供給するだけで簡単にしかも確実に殺菌性，除菌性が極めて高い弱酸性電解水Ｆ（ｐＨ５．０～６．５）を生成できるので、装置の小型化と省電力化が図れる。
　本発明の実施形態の弱酸性電解水生成装置１０では、起動用のスイッチだけでなく、チューブを開閉するためのソレノイドを設ける必要がないので、さらなる装置の小型化と省電力化が図れる。 In addition, in the conventional electrolyzed water generating device, in order to electrolyze the water to be electrolyzed, it is necessary to provide a start switch and a solenoid for opening and closing the tube, so that the device can be reduced in size and power can be saved. There wasn't. In contrast, the weakly acidic electrolyzed water generating device 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention supplies a pair of raw water W having a capacity equal to or less than the capacity of the electrolyzed water F that can be accommodated in the bottle 101 that is the electrolyzed water storage unit. Since the raw water W passes between the electrode plates 31 and 32, the pair of electrode plates 31 and 32 is automatically energized. Therefore, it is not necessary to provide at least an activation switch, and only the raw water W is supplied. Therefore, it is possible to easily and reliably generate weakly acidic electrolyzed water F (pH 5.0 to 6.5) having extremely high bactericidal and sterilizing properties, so that the apparatus can be reduced in size and power can be saved.
In the weakly acidic electrolyzed water generating device 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention, it is not necessary to provide not only a start switch but also a solenoid for opening and closing the tube, so that further downsizing and power saving of the device can be achieved.
　また、従来の電解水生成装置では、被電解水を貯留部にいったん溜めて、次にスイッチをオンして一対の電極板管に通電するとともに、ソレノイドに通電してプランジャを伸ばしてチューブを開かないと、貯留部内の被電解水は電気分解することができない。このため、従来の電解水生成装置の小型化が図れず、実際に電解水を生成しようとする場合に、被電解水の電解効率を上げることができない。
　これに対して、本発明の実施形態の弱酸性電解水生成装置１０では、使用者は原水Ｗを原水供給部１３内に単に供給して、原水Ｗが原水通過部２０の屈曲通路部３０の一対の電極板３１，３２間を通過するだけで、一対の電極板３１，３２間を通電して電気分解することができる。このため、本発明の実施形態の弱酸性電解水生成装置１０は、原水Ｗを単純な構造でありながら確実に電気分解することができる。従って、本発明の実施形態の弱酸性電解水生成装置１０は、小型化が図れ、小型であっても被電解水の電解効率を上げることができる。 In the conventional electrolyzed water generating device, the electrolyzed water is once accumulated in the reservoir, and then the switch is turned on to energize the pair of electrode plate tubes, and the solenoid is energized to extend the plunger and open the tube. Otherwise, the electrolyzed water in the reservoir cannot be electrolyzed. For this reason, size reduction of the conventional electrolyzed water generating apparatus cannot be achieved, and when the electrolyzed water is actually generated, the electrolysis efficiency of the electrolyzed water cannot be increased.
On the other hand, in the weakly acidic electrolyzed water generating device 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention, the user simply supplies the raw water W into the raw water supply unit 13, and the raw water W passes through the bent passage portion 30 of the raw water passage unit 20. By simply passing between the pair of electrode plates 31, 32, the pair of electrode plates 31, 32 can be energized and electrolyzed. For this reason, the weakly acidic electrolyzed water generating apparatus 10 of the embodiment of the present invention can reliably electrolyze the raw water W while having a simple structure. Therefore, the weakly acidic electrolyzed water generating device 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention can be reduced in size, and the electrolysis efficiency of electrolyzed water can be increased even if it is small.
　図８に示すように、ボトル１０１内に電解水Ｆが収容されると、図２から図１に示すように、使用者はボトル１０１を本体部１１の収容部１２から取り外す。使用者は指によりボトル１０１を把持し易く、ボトル１０１の取り外し作業が容易にしかも確実に行える。使用者は、ボトル１０１にスプレーノズル部１０２を取り付ける。
　そして、使用者はスプレーノズル部１０２を押して操作することで、除菌性が極めて高い弱酸性電解水Ｆ（ｐＨ５．０～６．５）は任意の対象物に対して吹き付けることができる。例えば、ボトル１０１内の電解水Ｆは対象物である手に対して噴射されることで、手の消毒や除菌を行うことができる。 As shown in FIG. 8, when the electrolyzed water F is accommodated in the bottle 101, the user removes the bottle 101 from the accommodating part 12 of the main body part 11 as shown in FIGS. 2 to 1. The user can easily grasp the bottle 101 with his / her finger and can easily and reliably remove the bottle 101. The user attaches the spray nozzle portion 102 to the bottle 101.
Then, the user can spray the weakly acidic electrolyzed water F (pH 5.0 to 6.5) having a very high sterilization property on an arbitrary object by pushing and operating the spray nozzle unit 102. For example, the electrolyzed water F in the bottle 101 can be sterilized or sterilized by being sprayed onto the hand that is the object.

　図９（A）、図９（Ｂ）、図９（Ｃ）は、本発明の第２の実施形態を示している。
　図６に示す本発明の実施形態では、一対の電極板３１，３２が、第２傾斜通路部３４内において軸方向ＣＬに平行に間隔をおいて配置されている。
　これに対して、図９（Ａ）に示す実施形態では、３枚の電極板３１，３２，１５０を有している。３枚の電極板３１，３２，１５０は同じ電極板間隔をあけて、第２傾斜通路部３４内において軸方向ＣＬに沿って平行に配置されている。電極板３１，３２がマイナス電極である場合には、中央の電極板１５０はプラス電極である。これにより、原水はさらに効率よく電気分解できる。 Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described.
The second embodiment has the same configuration as that of the first embodiment except for the points described below, and redundant description is omitted.
FIG. 9A, FIG. 9B, and FIG. 9C show a second embodiment of the present invention.
In the embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 6, the pair of electrode plates 31 and 32 are arranged in the second inclined passage portion 34 with a space in parallel to the axial direction CL.
In contrast, the embodiment shown in FIG. 9A has three electrode plates 31, 32, and 150. The three electrode plates 31, 32, and 150 are arranged in parallel along the axial direction CL in the second inclined passage portion 34 with the same electrode plate interval. When the electrode plates 31 and 32 are negative electrodes, the central electrode plate 150 is a positive electrode. Thereby, raw | natural water can be electrolyzed more efficiently.
　図９（Ｂ）に示す実施形態では、一対の電極板３１，３２が、第２傾斜通路部３４内において軸方向ＣＬに直交するＫ方向に間隔をおいて配置されている。
　図９（Ｃ）に示す実施形態では、３枚の電極板３１，３２，１５０を有している。３枚の電極板３１，３２，１５０は同じ電極板間隔をあけて、第２傾斜通路部３４内において軸方向ＣＬに直交するＫ方向に沿って平行に配置されている。電極板３１，３２がマイナス電極である場合には、中央の電極板１５０はプラス電極である。これにより、原水Ｗはさらに効率よく電気分解できる。 In the embodiment shown in FIG. 9B, the pair of electrode plates 31 and 32 are disposed in the second inclined passage portion 34 with an interval in the K direction orthogonal to the axial direction CL.
In the embodiment shown in FIG. 9C, three electrode plates 31, 32, and 150 are provided. The three electrode plates 31, 32, 150 are arranged in parallel along the K direction perpendicular to the axial direction CL in the second inclined passage portion 34 with the same electrode plate interval. When the electrode plates 31 and 32 are negative electrodes, the central electrode plate 150 is a positive electrode. Thereby, the raw water W can be electrolyzed more efficiently.
　図１０は、本発明の第３の実施形態を示している。
　第３の実施形態は、以下で説明する点を除き、第１の実施形態と共通する構成を備えており、重複する説明は省略する。
　図１０に示す本発明の実施形態が、図５に示す本発明の実施形態と異なるのは、第１傾斜通路部３３を設けず、第２傾斜通路部３４を電解水溜まり部とした構成にある。また、必要に応じて、制御回路（ＣＰＵ）４１は電池１７の電源電圧の変化に応じて電流値を制御することで原水Ｗはさらに効率よく、電気分解でき、得られる弱酸性電解水ＦのｐＨ範囲がより精度の高い値（ｐＨ５．０～６．５）となる。
　ここで、ｐＨが５．０を下回ると次亜塩素酸水が生成されにくい。ｐＨが６．５を超えると、人肌に不快な刺激を与えやすくなってしまう。 FIG. 10 shows a third embodiment of the present invention.
Except for the points described below, the third embodiment has the same configuration as that of the first embodiment, and redundant description is omitted.
The embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 10 is different from the embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 5 in that the first inclined passage portion 33 is not provided and the second inclined passage portion 34 is an electrolytic water reservoir. . Further, if necessary, the control circuit (CPU) 41 controls the current value according to the change in the power supply voltage of the battery 17 so that the raw water W can be more efficiently electrolyzed. The pH range becomes a more accurate value (pH 5.0 to 6.5).
Here, when the pH is lower than 5.0, hypochlorous acid water is hardly generated. When pH exceeds 6.5, it becomes easy to give unpleasant irritation to human skin.
　図１１は、本発明の第４の実施形態を示している。
　第２の実施形態は、以下で説明する点を除き、第１の実施形態と共通する構成を備えており、重複する説明は省略する。
　図１１に示す本発明の実施形態が、図５に示す本発明の実施形態と異なるのは、原水通過部２０Ｍの形状である。原水通過部２０Ｍは、第１傾斜通路部１３３と、第２傾斜通路部１３４と、第３傾斜通路部１３５を有する。第１傾斜通路部１３３と、第２傾斜通路部１３４は、ほぼＶ字型の屈曲通路部を形成しており、第１傾斜通路部１３３と、第２傾斜通路部１３４内には、それぞれ一対の電極板３１，３２が配置されている。第３傾斜通路部１３５はボトル１０１の口部１０３に達している。簡単な構成の電極部により、原水から電解水を生成することができる。 FIG. 11 shows a fourth embodiment of the present invention.
The second embodiment has the same configuration as that of the first embodiment except for the points described below, and redundant description is omitted.
The embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 11 is different from the embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 5 in the shape of the raw water passage 20M. The raw water passage portion 20M includes a first inclined passage portion 133, a second inclined passage portion 134, and a third inclined passage portion 135. The first inclined passage portion 133 and the second inclined passage portion 134 form a substantially V-shaped bent passage portion, and each of the first inclined passage portion 133 and the second inclined passage portion 134 has a pair thereof. Electrode plates 31 and 32 are arranged. The third inclined passage part 135 reaches the mouth part 103 of the bottle 101. Electrolyzed water can be generated from raw water by an electrode part having a simple configuration.
　図１２は、本発明の第５の実施形態を示している。
　第５の実施形態は、以下で説明する点を除き、第１の実施形態と共通する構成を備えており、重複する説明は省略する。
　図１２に示す本発明の実施形態が、図５に示す本発明の実施形態と異なるのは、原水通過部２０Ｎの形状である。原水通過部２０Ｎは、開口２３からボトル１０１の口部１０３に達するらせん形状になっていることである。簡単な構成の電極部により、原水から電解水を生成することができる。原水通過部２０Ｎの傾斜通路部１８０は、例えばフレキシブルなチューブであり、傾斜通路部１８０内には、一対の電極部３１，３２が形成されている。 FIG. 12 shows a fifth embodiment of the present invention.
Except for the points described below, the fifth embodiment has the same configuration as that of the first embodiment, and redundant description is omitted.
The embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 12 is different from the embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 5 in the shape of the raw water passage portion 20N. The raw water passage portion 20N has a spiral shape that reaches the mouth portion 103 of the bottle 101 from the opening 23. Electrolyzed water can be generated from raw water by an electrode part having a simple configuration. The inclined passage portion 180 of the raw water passage portion 20N is, for example, a flexible tube, and a pair of electrode portions 31 and 32 are formed in the inclined passage portion 180.
　本発明の実施形態の弱酸性電解水生成装置は、起動スイッチ（操作スイッチ）を設けないで、原水を注ぐだけで電極間を通電して、原水から、所望の酸性度、すなわち、ｐＨ５．０～６．５となる電解水を生成でき、電解水を生成している間は表示ランプを点灯させる廉価な装置である。 In the weakly acidic electrolyzed water generating device of the embodiment of the present invention, a starting switch (operation switch) is not provided, and the electrodes are energized only by pouring raw water, and the desired acidity, that is, pH 5.0 is obtained from the raw water. It is an inexpensive device that can generate electrolyzed water of ˜6.5, and lights the display lamp while electrolyzed water is being generated.
　図１３及び図１４は、本発明の第６の実施形態を示している。
　第６の実施形態は、以下で説明する点を除き、第１の実施形態と共通する構成を備えており、重複する説明は省略する。
　この実施形態において、原水供給部１３の底面部分２２は、流量規制部１３０とされている。具体的には、流量規制部１３０は、図面の紙面の奥行き方向の寸法を小さくして、細いスリット状、もしくは間隙状とされており、さらに、所定間隔で開口１３２が形成され、閉止部１３１と、この開口１３２が交互に続く形態とされている。これにより、単位時間当たりの原水の下降流量を適切に制限することができるようになっている。
　このようにして、流量制限された原水は、図１４に示すように、電極３１，３２の間の狭い隙間を通って電気分解されるようになっている。 13 and 14 show a sixth embodiment of the present invention.
Except for the points described below, the sixth embodiment has the same configuration as that of the first embodiment, and a duplicate description is omitted.
In this embodiment, the bottom surface portion 22 of the raw water supply unit 13 is a flow rate regulation unit 130. Specifically, the flow restricting portion 130 is formed in a narrow slit shape or a gap shape by reducing the dimension in the depth direction of the drawing sheet, and further, openings 132 are formed at predetermined intervals, and the closing portion 131 is formed. And this opening 132 is made into the form which continues alternately. Thereby, the downward flow rate of the raw water per unit time can be appropriately limited.
In this way, the raw water whose flow rate is restricted is electrolyzed through a narrow gap between the electrodes 31 and 32 as shown in FIG.
　さらに、本実施形態では、図１３に示すように、電極３１，３２の下の領域に、図においてＣＨの範囲で示すように電解水溜まり部１４５を形成するようにしている。これにより、電気分解された電解水が適切に電極から離れて、電極３１，３２が常時通電されることを防止している。
　電解水溜まり部１４５を通過して下降した電解水は、斜路１４１を通ることに寄り、ボトル１０１に貯留されるが、斜路１４１の流路断面積Ａ１は、流量規制部１３０の開口１３２の合計に係る流路断面積Ａ２より僅かに小さくなるようにされている。これにより、原水は確実に電気分解され、一度電解水溜まり部１４５に僅かな時間だけ貯留されてから斜路１４１へ導かれるようになっている。 Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 13, an electrolyzed water reservoir 145 is formed in the region below the electrodes 31 and 32 as shown by the range of CH in the drawing. Thereby, the electrolyzed electrolyzed water leaves | separates from an electrode appropriately, and it prevents that the electrodes 31 and 32 are always supplied with electricity.
The electrolyzed water descending after passing through the electrolyzed water reservoir 145 tends to pass through the ramp 141 and is stored in the bottle 101, but the channel cross-sectional area A1 of the ramp 141 is equal to the sum of the openings 132 of the flow regulating unit 130. It is made to become slightly smaller than the flow path cross-sectional area A2. As a result, the raw water is reliably electrolyzed, and once stored in the electrolyzed water reservoir 145 for a short time, it is guided to the ramp 141.
　ところで、本発明は上記実施形態に限定されず、種々の変形例を採用することができる。
　例えば、図５に示すように、開口２３の中心位置Ｔが軸方向ＣＬから偏移量Ｇだけずれた位置に形成されているだけに限定されず、開口２３の中心位置Ｔが軸方向ＣＬに一致している場合も採用できる。図５に示す原水供給部１３の形状に限定されず、任意の形状を採用できるが、原水供給部１３の原水収容可能容量は、原水ボトル１２０の容量と同じであっても、大きくても良い。
　また、本発明の各実施形態を構成する個々の構成は、互いに任意に組み合わせることができる。 By the way, this invention is not limited to the said embodiment, A various modified example is employable.
For example, as shown in FIG. 5, the center position T of the opening 23 is not limited to being formed at a position shifted by a deviation amount G from the axial direction CL, and the center position T of the opening 23 is in the axial direction CL. It can also be adopted if they match. Although it is not limited to the shape of the raw | natural water supply part 13 shown in FIG. 5, although arbitrary shapes can be employ | adopted, the raw | natural water accommodation capacity | capacitance of the raw | natural water supply part 13 may be the same as that of the raw | natural water bottle 120, or may be large. .
In addition, the individual configurations constituting each embodiment of the present invention can be arbitrarily combined with each other.
