Description
本願は、2012年9月25日に、日本に出願された特願2012-210731号に基づき優先権を主張し、その内容をここに援用する。
すなわち、特許文献1に記載される浄水カートリッジでは、ろ材の寿命より多孔質ろ過膜の寿命が長くなる場合に、ろ材を増量することが検討される。この場合、メインケースの容量を大きくする必要があるが、内容器の底壁部から下方に突出する部分の浄水貯留部内に占める体積が増えるため、浄水貯留部に貯めることが可能な浄水容量が減ってしまうという問題がある。また、メインケース自体も大きくなり、部材コストが増大することから、その点で改善の余地がある。

[18] [1]から[17]のいずれか1つに記載の浄水カートリッジを備えた浄水器であって、
浄水貯留部を有する外容器と、
原水貯留部を有する内容器と、を備え、
前記内容器の底壁部には、前記浄水カートリッジの底部開口部が形成されており、
前記底部開口部には、前記メインケースが嵌合されている浄水器。
[19] 前記メインケースと前記蓋体との嵌合強度は、前記底部開口部と前記メインケースとの嵌合強度よりも大きい[18]に記載の浄水器。
[20] 目付けが20~60g/m2であり、繊維径が2.2~6.6dtxである不織布からなる袋状の物に、カチオン交換樹脂及び活性炭からなる群から選択される少なくとも1つの吸着剤が収容されているろ材。
図1に示すように、本実施の形態の浄水器1は、浄水貯留部2aを有する外容器2と、前記外容器2の内部に配置されるとともに原水貯留部3aを有する内容器3と、内容器3の底壁部3bに着脱可能に挿嵌される略円筒状の浄水カートリッジ4と、を備えている。
なお、ここでいう略円筒状の浄水カートリッジ4は、浄水カートリッジ4における軸方向(後述する容器軸O方向)に直交する任意の横断面の形状が、真円形、卵形、長円形、楕円形等であってもよいが、浄水カートリッジの操作性から真円形であることが好ましい。
また、内容器3の底壁部3bの好ましくは中央付近には円形の底部開口部3cが形成されている。浄水カートリッジ4のメインケース6は、底壁部3bに対して上方から液密に着脱可能に嵌合されている。
なお、ここでいう「円形」とは、メインケース6を液密に嵌合できる形状であればよく、例えば、メインケース6の形状に合わせて、真円形、卵形、長円形、楕円形等であってもよい。
また本実施の形態の浄水カートリッジ4は、メインケース6内にろ材10及び中空糸膜11が仕切り部材を介さずに充填されている。
また、本明細書及び請求の範囲における「軸方向」とは、この容器軸Oにそった方向を意味する。
なお、ここで、「メインケース6の中心軸線」とは、メインケース6の任意の横断面において、少なくとも1つの外縁に外接し、前記メインケース6の横断面のすべてを内包し、かつ最少半径となるように仮想円を描いたときの当該仮想円の中心を通る軸を意味する。
「蓋体7の中心軸線」とは、蓋体7の任意の横断面において、少なくとも1つの外縁に外接し、前記蓋体7の横断面のすべてを内包し、かつ最少半径となるように仮想円を描いたときの当該仮想円の中心を通る軸を意味する。
下筒部6Bには、浄水出口62を有する容器底6bが着脱可能に設けられており、下筒部6Bのうち略下半部分には中空糸膜11が収容され、その上の略上半部分にはろ材10が収容される。なお、容器底6bは、下筒部6Bに対して別体で設けることに限らず、一体的に成形されていてもよい。
また、ろ材10の量は、40cc~100ccであることが好ましく、50cc~70ccであることがより好ましい。
なお、ここでいう「ろ材10」とは、袋状の物の内部に吸着剤を詰めたものを意味する。また、「ろ材10の量」とは、袋状の物の内部に詰められた吸着剤の量(体積)を意味する。
ろ材10の量は、メスシリンダーに前記吸着剤を充填することによって測定する。
このような吸着剤としては、例えば、天然物系吸着剤(天然ゼオライト、銀ゼオライト、酸性白土等)、合成物系吸着剤(合成ゼオライト、細菌吸着ポリマー、ヒドロキシアパタイト、モレキュラーシーブ、シリカゲル、シリカアルミナゲル系吸着剤、多孔質ガラス、ケイ酸チタニウム等)等の無機質吸着剤;粉末状活性炭、粒状活性炭、繊維状活性炭、ブロック状活性炭、押出成形活性炭、成形活性炭、分子吸着樹脂、合成物系粒状活性炭、合成物系繊維状活性炭、イオン交換樹脂(カチオン交換樹脂、アニオン交換樹脂等)、イオン交換繊維、キレート樹脂、キレート繊維、高吸収性樹脂、高吸水性繊維、吸油性樹脂、吸油剤等の有機系吸着剤等、公知の吸着剤が挙げられる。
吸着剤としては、中でも、抗菌性のある銀添着活性炭を用いた粉末状活性炭、粒状活性炭、繊維状活性炭、ブロック状活性炭、押出成形活性炭、成形活性炭、分子吸着樹脂、合成物系粒状活性炭、及び合成物系繊維状活性炭が好ましく;抗菌性のある銀添着活性炭を用いた粉末状活性炭、及び粒状活性炭が、吸着性能が高く、袋状の物に詰めやすいため特に好ましい。
また、鉛・銅・亜鉛・ヒ素等を始めとする重金属を吸着除去することができることから、吸着剤としては、カチオン交換樹脂を有することが望ましい。
特に粒状の吸着剤を用いる場合、その粒度分布は200μm~1700μmが好ましい。粒度が小さすぎると、ろ材の通水抵抗が大きくなり流速が遅くなる。粒度が大きすぎると、表面積が小さくなり除去性能が低下する。
50%≦A+C×1.6≦90%
(カチオン交換樹脂以外の吸着剤の充填率をA、カチオン交換樹脂の充填率をC)
これにより、吸着剤としてカチオン交換樹脂を有する場合、カチオン交換樹脂が膨潤しても中の吸着剤が外に漏れることなく、高い透水性をもつことができ、吸着剤の利用効率を上げる事ができる。
なお、本明細書及び請求の範囲において、「充填率」とは、袋状の物自体の内容積に対する吸着剤の体積が占める割合を意味する。
充填率は以下のようにして算出することができる。具体的には、封ができる最大量の吸着剤を袋状の物に詰め、この吸着剤の体積(量)をメスシリンダーにて測定し、袋状の物の内容積として算出する。又は、袋状の物の縦、横、及び高さを測定しこれを袋状の物の内容積として算出してもよい。袋状の物の内容積を100としたとき、吸着剤の総体積が占める割合(%)を算出し、これを充填率とする。
このときのメインケース6と蓋体7との嵌合強度は、図1に示す内容器3の底部開口部3cとメインケース6との嵌合強度よりも大きくなるように設定されている。
また、図4Bには蓋体4の形状が円形状に示されているが、円形に限らず、四角形、卵形、長円形、楕円形等であってもよく、操作性から円形であることが好ましい。
なお、図4A、及び図4Bに示すように、天壁部7aは、上側に突となる凸面が形成され、容器軸O方向に沿って浄水カートリッジ4の内部と外部とを連通する貫通孔7dが形成されている。
具体的に天壁部7aは、天壁部7aの内面又は外面、より好ましくは内面及び外面が周壁部7bから径方向の内側に向かう(即ち、中心軸Oに向かう)に従い漸次上向きになる傾斜面又は段差が形成されている。
なお、蓋体7の高さ寸法としては、本発明の効果を有する限り適宜変更してもよく、例えば、1mm~20mmが好ましい。この場合、1mmよりも低い場合は蓋体の強度が足りなく、20mmよりも高い場合は蓋体がメインケースから取り外し難くなる。
なおここでいう、「蓋体7の高さ寸法」とは、蓋体7を容器軸Oに対して平行な任意の面で切断したときの切断面における容器軸O方向における長さの最大値を意味する。
また、「蓋体7の高さ寸法」には後述のろ材押さえ体72の高さは含まれない。
即ち、図1に示すように、浄水器1では、内容器3の内部(原水貯留部3a)に原水を供給すると、原水は内容器3の底壁部3bに取り付けられた浄水カートリッジ4の原水導入口61から浄水カートリッジ4内部へと導入される。そして、ろ材10により塩素やトリハロメタン、農薬等の化学物質、さらには鉛・銅・亜鉛・ヒ素等を始めとする重金属が吸着除去された後、さらに中空糸膜11により細菌や微生物、濁質、粒子状鉛等が濾過され、メインケース6の容器底6bの浄水出口62から外容器2の浄水貯留部2aへと導出される。
そのため、浄水貯留部2aや原水貯留部3aの容量を減少させず、且つ浄水カートリッジ4自体の大きさを変えずにろ材の収容量を増やすことが可能となり、ろ材の交換頻度を少なくすることができる。
しかも、浄水カートリッジ4自体の大きさが変わらないので、部材コストの増加を抑えることができる。
とくに、蓋体7の周壁部7bと容器軸Oに対して直交する任意の直線との交点間の距離の最小値が、上端開口6aと容器軸Oに対して直交する任意の直線との交点間の距離の最大値よりも、1~30mm大きい寸法に形成することが好ましく、2~10mm大きい寸法に形成することがより好ましい。このようにすることで、前記段差部分、すなわち指掛け部が十分に確保され、指が滑ることなく蓋体7の外周縁をしっかりと把持することができる。そのため、蓋体7をメインケース6からより容易に、且つ確実に取り外すことができる。
図5A及び図5Bに示すように、第2の実施の形態の浄水カートリッジ4Aは、蓋体7の天壁部7aの装着筒71に、カートリッジ4Aの底部側に向けて延びるろ材押さえ体72を設けた浄水カートリッジである。ろ材押さえ体72は、略筒状で、側面に開口部73を有する。
ろ材押さえ体72は、装着筒71に一体的に成形されていてもよく、装着筒71の内側に別に備えられていてもよい。なお、 図5A及び図5Bでは、一体的に成形されている場合を示す。
[実施例1~5]
目付けが40g/m2であり、繊維径が6.6dtxである不織布(アサヒ繊維工業株式会社製、ES051)を用いて、110mm×75mmの袋状の物(bag)を作成した。吸着剤として、粒状活性炭(クラレケミカル株式会社製、T-SCOB 20/40)、イオン交換樹脂(ピュロライト株式会社製、C107E)、キレート樹脂(ピュロライト株式会社製、S930/4922)を2.5:5:1で混合した。ろ材10として、混合した吸着剤をメスシリンダーで60cc量りとり、前記袋状の物に詰めた。
なお、ろ材押さえ体72の寸法と、ろ材押さえ体72の外周壁72bとメインケース6の内周壁6fとの間の間隙は、表1に記載の値となるように適宜設定した。
「ろ過流量」とは、ピッチャー型浄水器に1Lの水を注ぎ、ろ過するのにかかった時間を意味する。なお、表1では、上記方法にて10回測定した平均値を「ろ過流量」として記載した。
