Description
図1、図2は、本実施形態に係る水素含有水生成用電極を示す斜視図である。水素含有水生成用電極10は、水の電気分解作用を利用して、水道水等の原水から、水素を含有する水である水素含有水を生成する。水素含有水は、アルカリ性を示す水である。図1、図2に示すように、水素含有水生成用電極10は、正極11と、負極12と、絶縁体13とを有する。正極11及び負極12は、いずれも筒状の導電体である。本実施形態において、正極11及び負極12の形状は、いずれも円筒形状であるが、これに限定されるものではない。絶縁体13は、正極11の外周部に設けられて、正極11と接している。負極12は、絶縁体13の外周部に設けられて絶縁体13と接している。すなわち、絶縁体13は、正極11と、正極11の外側に設けられた負極12との間に配置されて、正極11及び負極12と接している。正極11、負極12及び絶縁体13は、いずれも網状の部材である。本実施形態において、絶縁体13は、正極11及び負極12と接触しているが、必ずしも接触していなくてもよい。
図16は、本実施形態に係る水素含有水生成用電極の製造方法のフロー図である。図17から図26は、本実施形態に係る水素含有水生成用電極の製造方法の各工程を示す図である。水素含有水生成用電極10を製造するにあたり、まず、ステップS101において、図17、図18に示すように、導電体である正極材料11M及び負極材料12Mを曲げて略円筒形状の部材とする。正極材料11M及び負極材料12Mは、複数の開口(図4等に示す正極11の開口11H、負極12の開口12Hに相当、図17、図18では省略)を有する板状の導電体である。正極材料11M及び負極材料12Mが曲げられた、略円筒形状の部材は、周方向Cにおける一部が除かれ、長手方向E、すなわち略円筒形状の部材が延びる方向にスリット11SL、12SLを有している。図17に示すように、スリット11SLは、正極材料11Mの対向する端部11MT、11MTの間に形成されている。図18に示すように、スリット12SLは、負極材料12Mの対向する端部12MT、12MTの間に形成されている。
図27は、本実施形態に係る水素含有水生成装置を示す図である。図28は、本実施形態に係る水素含有水生成装置が備える第1支持体を示す図である。図29は、本実施形態に係る水素含有水生成装置が備える第2支持体を示す図である。図30は、本実施形態に係る水素含有水生成装置が備える保護部材の開口と、負極の開口とを示す図である。水素含有水生成装置100は、前述した水素含有水生成用電極10を備えており、原水W中に投入されて、水素含有水を生成する装置である。
図32、図33は、本実施形態に係る水素含有水生成装置に水素含有水生成用電極を取り付けるときの取付構造を示す図である。図34は、本実施形態に係る水素含有水生成装置に水素含有水生成用電極を取り付けるときの他の取付構造を示す図である。図32、図33は、水素含有水生成装置100を浴槽に投入して使用する場合を示している。図32、図33に示すように、本実施形態において、水素含有水生成用電極10は、正極用給電部材14及び負極用給電部材15によって第1支持体101及び第2支持体102に支持されている。正極用給電部材14及び負極用給電部材15並びに正極用支持部材18及び負極用支持部材19を利用することにより、水素含有水生成用電極10を、比較的簡単な構造で第1支持体101と第2支持体102とに取り付けることができる。
図35から図37は、本実施形態に係る水素含有水生成装置の変形例を示す図である。この水素含有水生成装置100bは、使用時には、第2支持体102bから、折り畳み可能な収納式の脚部104を取り出して設置対象FLに設置させる。脚部104は、例えば、図36に示すように、第2支持体102bの設置対象FL側に設けられた回動軸Zrを中心として回動する棒状の部材である。脚部104は、第2支持体102bの幅方向両側に1個ずつ配置される。水素含有水生成装置100bを使用しない場合、脚部104は、第2支持体102bの設置対象FL側に設けられた格納部106に格納される。水素含有水生成装置100bを使用する場合、脚部104は、格納部106から引き出され、回動軸Zrを中心として回動する。そして、回動軸Zrとは反対側の端部104Sが設置対象FLと接触する。
