　絶縁体１３がイオン交換機能を有していない場合、電離した水素イオンＨ＋は絶縁体１３を通過して負極１２側に集まり、負極１２に水素ガス（Ｈ２）の気泡が生成される。この気泡は、直径がナノメートルオーダーの微小な気泡である。原水Ｗ（２Ｈ２Ｏ）は、電子（２ｅ－）によりＨ２＋２ＯＨ－に整水される。この整水作用によって原水Ｗに水素ガスが溶存するので、原水Ｗに水素が溶存した水素含有水が生成される。電離した水酸イオンＯＨ－は、絶縁体１３を通過して正極１１側に集まり、原水Ｗ（２Ｈ２Ｏ）は、Ｏ２＋４Ｈ＋＋４ｅ－に整水され、酸性のイオン水が生成される。Ｏ２は、筒状の正極１１の内側に気泡となって集まり、正極１１の内側に沿って移動して、端部側開口部１０ＨＡ、１０ＨＢから正極１１の外部に放出される。次に、水素含有水生成用電極１０について、より詳細に説明する。 When the insulator 13 does not have an ion exchange function, the ionized hydrogen ions H + pass through the insulator 13 and gather on the negative electrode 12 side, and bubbles of hydrogen gas (H 2 ) are generated in the negative electrode 12. These bubbles are minute bubbles having a diameter of nanometer order. The raw water W (2H 2 O) is conditioned with electrons (2e − ) to H 2 + 2OH − . Since hydrogen gas is dissolved in the raw water W by this water conditioning operation, hydrogen-containing water in which hydrogen is dissolved in the raw water W is generated. The ionized hydroxide ion OH − passes through the insulator 13 and gathers on the positive electrode 11 side, and the raw water W (2H 2 O) is adjusted to O 2 + 4H + + 4e − to produce acidic ion water. . O 2 collects in the form of bubbles inside the cylindrical positive electrode 11, moves along the inside of the positive electrode 11, and is released from the end side openings 10 HA and 10 HB to the outside of the positive electrode 11. Next, the hydrogen-containing water generating electrode 10 will be described in more detail.
　図４は、本実施形態に係る水素含有水生成用電極を示す側面図である。図４は、水素含有水生成用電極１０の負極１２及び絶縁体１３の一部を除いた状態を示している。図５は、本実施形態に係る水素含有水生成用電極を、その中心軸を含む平面で切った断面を示す図である。図６は、図４のＡ－Ａ断面図である。図７は、図６の一部を拡大して示す図である。筒状、本実施形態では円筒形状の正極１１及び負極１２が延びる方向（適宜長手方向という）Ｅと平行な方向が、これらの中心軸Ｚｔである。中心軸Ｚｔは、中心軸Ｚｔと直交する正極１１及び負極１２の断面内の中心（重心）を通る軸である。 FIG. 4 is a side view showing the hydrogen-containing water generating electrode according to this embodiment. FIG. 4 shows a state in which a part of the negative electrode 12 and the insulator 13 of the hydrogen-containing water generating electrode 10 is removed. FIG. 5 is a view showing a cross section of the hydrogen-containing water generating electrode according to the present embodiment, taken along a plane including the central axis. 6 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA in FIG. FIG. 7 is an enlarged view of a part of FIG. The central axis Zt is a direction parallel to a direction (appropriately referred to as a longitudinal direction) E in which the cylindrical positive electrode 11 and the negative electrode 12 are extended in this embodiment. The central axis Zt is an axis passing through the center (center of gravity) in the cross section of the positive electrode 11 and the negative electrode 12 orthogonal to the central axis Zt.
　図４に示すように、正極１１は、側部に複数の開口１１Ｈを有しており、負極１２は、側部に複数の開口１２Ｈを有している。正極１１が有する複数の開口１１Ｈは、正極１１の側部を正極１１の厚み方向に貫通している。負極１２が有する複数の開口１２Ｈは、負極１２の側部を負極１２の厚み方向に貫通している。本実施形態において、正極１１及び負極１２は導電体で製造されており、本実施形態においては、チタン（Ｔｉ）に白金（Ｐｔ）をめっきしたものである。めっきは、例えば、白金（Ｐｔ）－イリジウム（Ｉｒ）めっきであってもよい。本実施形態において、チタンは純チタンである。正極１１及び負極１２は、チタンに白金をめっきしたものに限定されるものではないが、原水Ｗに溶け出さない材料（例えば、バナジウム（Ｖ））であることが好ましい。本実施形態においては、正極１１及び負極１２の両方がめっきされているが、原水中の水酸化カルシウム又は水酸化マグネシウム等が析出する正極１１のみをめっきし、負極１２はめっきしなくてもよい。このようにすることで、水素含有水生成用電極１０の製造コストを低減することができる。 As shown in FIG. 4, the positive electrode 11 has a plurality of openings 11H on the side, and the negative electrode 12 has a plurality of openings 12H on the side. The plurality of openings 11 </ b> H that the positive electrode 11 has penetrates the side of the positive electrode 11 in the thickness direction of the positive electrode 11. The plurality of openings 12 </ b> H that the negative electrode 12 has penetrates the side of the negative electrode 12 in the thickness direction of the negative electrode 12. In the present embodiment, the positive electrode 11 and the negative electrode 12 are made of a conductor, and in this embodiment, titanium (Ti) is plated with platinum (Pt). The plating may be, for example, platinum (Pt) -iridium (Ir) plating. In the present embodiment, the titanium is pure titanium. The positive electrode 11 and the negative electrode 12 are not limited to those obtained by plating platinum on titanium, but are preferably materials that do not dissolve in the raw water W (for example, vanadium (V)). In the present embodiment, both the positive electrode 11 and the negative electrode 12 are plated, but only the positive electrode 11 on which calcium hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide or the like in raw water is deposited is plated, and the negative electrode 12 may not be plated. . By doing in this way, the manufacturing cost of the electrode 10 for hydrogen containing water production | generation can be reduced.
　図５に示すように、正極１１と、正極１１の外側の側部（外側部）１１Ｓｏと、負極１２の内側の側部（内側部）１２Ｓｉとの間に介在する絶縁体１３は、正極１１の外側部１１Ｓｏと負極１２の内側部１２Ｓｉとに接している。絶縁体１３は、複数の開口１３Ｈを有している。開口１３Ｈは、絶縁体１３をその厚み方向に貫通している。絶縁体１３は、例えば、絶縁性を有する材料（例えば樹脂）の繊維で編まれた網を用いることができる。また、絶縁体１３としては、イオン交換機能を有していてもよい。例えば、絶縁体１３は、イオン交換膜（陽イオン交換膜）であってもよい。この場合、絶縁体１３は、開口１３Ｈを有していなくてもよい。 As shown in FIG. 5, the insulator 13 interposed between the positive electrode 11, the outer side portion (outer portion) 11 So of the positive electrode 11, and the inner side portion (inner side portion) 12 Si of the negative electrode 12 includes the positive electrode 11. Are in contact with the outer side portion 11So and the inner side portion 12Si of the negative electrode 12. The insulator 13 has a plurality of openings 13H. The opening 13H penetrates the insulator 13 in the thickness direction. As the insulator 13, for example, a net knitted with fibers of an insulating material (for example, resin) can be used. The insulator 13 may have an ion exchange function. For example, the insulator 13 may be an ion exchange membrane (cation exchange membrane). In this case, the insulator 13 may not have the opening 13H.
　陽イオン交換膜は、膜に固定されている陰イオン基のため負に帯電している。このため、陰イオンは反発されて通ることができず、陽イオンだけが通過する。したがって、水素含有水生成用電極１０において、陽イオン交換膜を用いた絶縁体１３は、陽イオン、すなわち水素イオンＨ＋だけを透過し、陰イオン、すなわち電離した水酸イオンＯＨ－を反発する。このため、絶縁体１３を通過して正極１１側に移動する水酸イオンＯＨ－の量を低減できる。その結果、正極１１側においては酸素及び酸性のイオン水の発生が抑制される。 The cation exchange membrane is negatively charged due to the anionic group immobilized on the membrane. For this reason, anions are repelled and cannot pass through, and only cations pass through. Accordingly, in the hydrogen-containing water generating electrode 10, the insulator 13 using a cation exchange membrane transmits only cations, that is, hydrogen ions H +, and repels anions, that is, ionized hydroxide ions OH − . . Therefore, it is possible to reduce the amount of hydroxide ions OH − that pass through the insulator 13 and move to the positive electrode 11 side. As a result, generation of oxygen and acidic ionic water is suppressed on the positive electrode 11 side.
　前述したように、絶縁体１３は、イオン交換膜を用いてもよいが、電気的に中性である材料が用いられる。このようにすることで、絶縁体の製造コストを低減でき、また、加工も容易になる。また、イオン交換膜は、イオンは通過させるが水分子が通過させない程度の孔を有している。イオン交換膜を絶縁体１３に用いると、この絶縁体１３を備えた水素含有水生成用電極１０は、水素含有水を生成する際に必要な電圧が高くなり、消費電力が大きくなる可能性を有している。本実施形態において、絶縁体１３は、電気的に中性である網状の部材である。このため、イオン交換膜と比較して低い電圧で水素含有水を生成することができ、消費電力を抑制できる。 As described above, the insulator 13 may be an ion exchange membrane, but an electrically neutral material is used. By doing in this way, the manufacturing cost of an insulator can be reduced and processing becomes easy. The ion exchange membrane has pores that allow ions to pass but not water molecules. When an ion exchange membrane is used for the insulator 13, the hydrogen-containing water generating electrode 10 provided with the insulator 13 has a high voltage required for generating the hydrogen-containing water, which may increase power consumption. Have. In the present embodiment, the insulator 13 is a net-like member that is electrically neutral. For this reason, hydrogen-containing water can be generated at a lower voltage compared to the ion exchange membrane, and power consumption can be suppressed.
　絶縁性を有する繊維で編まれた網を絶縁体１３に用いる場合、絶縁体１３の厚みは、０．１ｍｍから１ｍｍ程度とする。図６に示すように、本実施形態において、正極１１の外側部（外周部に相当）１１Ｓｏと正極１２の内側部（内周部に相当）１２Ｓｉとの間に設けられた絶縁体１３は、負極１２のスリット１２ＳＬから負極１２の外側部（外周部に相当）１２Ｓｏ側に端部が取り出されている。絶縁体１３の端部は、正極１１のスリット１１ＳＬから正極１１の内側部（内周部に相当）１１Ｓｉ側に取り出されてもよい。次に、図７に示す、正極１１と負極１２との間に形成される隙間（適宜電極間隙間という）の大きさｔの影響を説明する。電極間隙間の大きさｔは、正極１１の外側部（外周部）１１Ｓｏと負極１２の内側部（内周部）１２Ｓｉとの間の距離である。 In the case where a net knitted with an insulating fiber is used for the insulator 13, the thickness of the insulator 13 is about 0.1 mm to 1 mm. As shown in FIG. 6, in this embodiment, the insulator 13 provided between the outer portion (corresponding to the outer peripheral portion) 11So of the positive electrode 11 and the inner portion (corresponding to the inner peripheral portion) 12Si of the positive electrode 12 is An end portion is taken out from the slit 12SL of the negative electrode 12 toward the outer side (corresponding to the outer peripheral portion) 12So of the negative electrode 12. The end of the insulator 13 may be taken out from the slit 11SL of the positive electrode 11 to the inner side (corresponding to the inner periphery) 11Si side of the positive electrode 11. Next, the influence of the size t of a gap (referred to as an interelectrode gap as appropriate) formed between the positive electrode 11 and the negative electrode 12 shown in FIG. 7 will be described. The size t between the electrode gaps is a distance between the outer portion (outer peripheral portion) 11So of the positive electrode 11 and the inner portion (inner peripheral portion) 12Si of the negative electrode 12.
　図７に示す電極間隙間の大きさｔを異ならせたときにおける、水素含有水の溶存水素量を比較する。この評価では、ｔ＝０．４ｍｍ、３ｍｍとした。ｔ＝０．４ｍｍのとき、水素含有水生成用電極１０に印加される電圧は１８Ｖ、電流は５Ａとする。ｔ＝３ｍｍのとき、水素含有水生成用電極１０に印加される電圧は６０Ｖ、電流は５Ａとする。結果を表１に示す。表１中の溶存水素は、１２０リットル、４１℃の湯に水素含有水生成用電極１０を投入してから正極１１と負極１２とに電圧を印加してから１５分経過したときの計測値である。 The amount of dissolved hydrogen in the hydrogen-containing water when the size t between the electrode gaps shown in FIG. In this evaluation, t = 0.4 mm and 3 mm. When t = 0.4 mm, the voltage applied to the hydrogen-containing water generating electrode 10 is 18V, and the current is 5A. When t = 3 mm, the voltage applied to the hydrogen-containing water generating electrode 10 is 60 V, and the current is 5 A. The results are shown in Table 1. The dissolved hydrogen in Table 1 is a measured value when 15 minutes have elapsed since the voltage was applied to the positive electrode 11 and the negative electrode 12 after the hydrogen-containing water generating electrode 10 was introduced into 120 liters of 41 ° C. hot water. is there.

　表１に示す評価結果から、電極間隙間の大きさｔが小さくなると、原水に溶存する水素の量（溶存水素量）が多くなることが分かる。具体的には、電極間隙間の大きさｔを０．４ｍｍとすると、ｔ＝３．０ｍｍと比較して溶存水素量は８％増加する。電極間隙間の大きさｔを０．４ｍｍとすると、ｔ＝３．０ｍｍと比較して消費電力は１／３強になる。電極間隙間の大きさｔを０．４ｍｍとすると、ｔ＝３．０ｍｍと比較して少ない消費電力で多くの水素を原水に溶存させることができる。すなわち、水素含有水生成用電極１０は、電極間隙間の大きさｔを小さくすることにより、水素を原水に溶存させる効率が向上する。 From the evaluation results shown in Table 1, it can be seen that the amount of hydrogen dissolved in the raw water (dissolved hydrogen amount) increases as the size t between the electrode gaps decreases. Specifically, when the size t between the electrode gaps is 0.4 mm, the amount of dissolved hydrogen increases by 8% compared to t = 3.0 mm. If the size t between the electrode gaps is 0.4 mm, the power consumption becomes slightly more than 1/3 compared with t = 3.0 mm. If the size t between the electrode gaps is 0.4 mm, much hydrogen can be dissolved in the raw water with less power consumption than t = 3.0 mm. That is, the hydrogen-containing water generating electrode 10 improves the efficiency of dissolving hydrogen in raw water by reducing the size t between the electrode gaps.
　本実施形態において、電極間隙間の大きさｔは、０．１ｍｍ以上１ｍｍ以下とすることが好ましい。電極間隙間の大きさｔを前述した範囲とすることで、水素含有水生成用電極１０が水素含有水を生成する際に、正極１１と負極１２とに印加する電圧の電位差が比較的小さくても、水素含有水生成用電極１０は、十分な量の水素を発生させることができる。電極間隙間の大きさｔが前述した範囲であれば、水素含有水生成用電極１０に印加される電圧が比較的低電圧でも、水素含有水生成用電極１０は、十分な量の水素を原水に溶存させて多くの水素を溶存した水素含有水を生成することができる。このため、例えば、浴槽に溜められた温水に水素含有水生成用電極１０を投入して水素含有水を生成するような用途にも、水素含有水生成用電極１０を用いることができる。また、水素含有水に溶存する水素の量が同一であれば、水素含有水生成用電極１０は、消費電力を抑制することができる。 In the present embodiment, the size t between the electrode gaps is preferably 0.1 mm or more and 1 mm or less. By setting the size t between the electrodes to the above-described range, the potential difference between the voltages applied to the positive electrode 11 and the negative electrode 12 when the hydrogen-containing water generating electrode 10 generates hydrogen-containing water is relatively small. However, the hydrogen-containing water generating electrode 10 can generate a sufficient amount of hydrogen. If the size t between the electrodes is in the above-described range, even if the voltage applied to the hydrogen-containing water generating electrode 10 is relatively low, the hydrogen-containing water generating electrode 10 generates a sufficient amount of hydrogen as raw water. It is possible to produce hydrogen-containing water in which a lot of hydrogen is dissolved. For this reason, for example, the hydrogen-containing water generating electrode 10 can be used also for applications in which the hydrogen-containing water generating electrode 10 is introduced into hot water stored in a bathtub to generate hydrogen-containing water. Further, if the amount of hydrogen dissolved in the hydrogen-containing water is the same, the hydrogen-containing water generating electrode 10 can suppress power consumption.
　電極間隙間の大きさｔが大きい場合、十分な量の水素を原水に溶存させるためには、水素含有水生成用電極１０に印加される電圧を大きくする。電極間隙間の大きさｔを１ｍｍ以下、好ましくは０．６ｍｍ以下とすることで、水素含有水生成用電極１０に印加される電圧が、例えば、４８Ｖ程度であっても、十分な量の水素を原水に溶存させることができる。電極間隙間の大きさｔを０．１ｍｍ以上、好ましくは０．２ｍｍ以上とすることで、正極１１と負極１２との間に介在する絶縁体１３による正極１１と負極１２との間の絶縁を十分に確保できる。その結果として、水素含有水生成用電極１０は、安定して性能を発揮することができる。また、前述したように、絶縁体１３として樹脂を用いる場合、電極間隙間の大きさｔを０．１ｍｍ以上、好ましくは０．２ｍｍ以上とすることで、絶縁体１３の耐久性低下を抑制することもできる。本実施形態において、正極１１と負極１２との間に介在する絶縁体１３は、両者に接触する。このため、電極間隙間の大きさｔは、絶縁体１３の厚みによって決定される。 When the size t between the electrode gaps is large, the voltage applied to the hydrogen-containing water generating electrode 10 is increased in order to dissolve a sufficient amount of hydrogen in the raw water. By setting the size t between the electrodes to 1 mm or less, preferably 0.6 mm or less, even if the voltage applied to the hydrogen-containing water generating electrode 10 is about 48 V, for example, a sufficient amount of hydrogen Can be dissolved in raw water. By setting the size t between the electrodes to be 0.1 mm or more, preferably 0.2 mm or more, the insulation between the positive electrode 11 and the negative electrode 12 by the insulator 13 interposed between the positive electrode 11 and the negative electrode 12 can be achieved. Enough can be secured. As a result, the hydrogen-containing water generating electrode 10 can stably exhibit performance. Further, as described above, when resin is used as the insulator 13, the size t between the electrode gaps is set to 0.1 mm or more, preferably 0.2 mm or more, thereby suppressing a decrease in durability of the insulator 13. You can also In the present embodiment, the insulator 13 interposed between the positive electrode 11 and the negative electrode 12 is in contact with both. For this reason, the size t between the electrode gaps is determined by the thickness of the insulator 13.
　本実施形態において、水素含有水生成用電極１０は、浴槽又は飲料水タンク等に直接投入して水素含有水を生成する。そして、水素含有水を生成する必要がない場合、水素含有水生成用電極１０は、浴槽又は飲料水タンク等から取り出される。このように、水素含有水生成用電極１０は、取付対象に据え付けて使用されるのではなく、移動及び持ち運びが可能である。このため、水素含有水生成用電極１０は、据え付けて使用されるものと比較して、振動及び衝撃の影響を受けやすい。水素含有水生成用電極１０は、絶縁体１３を正極１１と負極１２との間に介在させ、両者に接触させると、正極１１及び負極１２の動きが規制される。その結果、水素含有水生成用電極１０は、振動及び衝撃に対する耐性が向上する。 In the present embodiment, the hydrogen-containing water generating electrode 10 is directly put into a bathtub or a drinking water tank to generate hydrogen-containing water. And when it is not necessary to produce | generate hydrogen containing water, the electrode 10 for hydrogen containing water production | generation is taken out from a bathtub or a drinking water tank. As described above, the hydrogen-containing water generating electrode 10 is not used by being installed on an attachment target, but can be moved and carried. For this reason, the hydrogen-containing water generating electrode 10 is more susceptible to vibrations and impacts than those installed and used. When the insulator 13 is interposed between the positive electrode 11 and the negative electrode 12 in the hydrogen-containing water generating electrode 10 and brought into contact with both, the movement of the positive electrode 11 and the negative electrode 12 is restricted. As a result, the hydrogen-containing water generating electrode 10 has improved resistance to vibration and impact.
　また、絶縁体１３を正極１１と負極１２との間に介在させ、両者に接触させると、絶縁体１３によって、水素含有水生成用電極１０の全体にわたって正極１１と負極１２との間隔を一定にしやすくなる。その結果、水素含有水生成用電極１０は、正極１１と負極１２との間の電気抵抗のばらつきが抑制され、電流密度のばらつきが抑制されるので、全体から一様に水素の気泡を発生することができる。電極間隙間の大きさｔを、絶縁体１３の厚みと同等とすることで、絶縁体１３を正極１１と負極１２との両方に接触させやすくなるので好ましい。次に、正極用給電部材１４及び負極用給電部材１５について説明する。 When the insulator 13 is interposed between the positive electrode 11 and the negative electrode 12 and brought into contact with the positive electrode 11 and the negative electrode 12, the insulator 13 makes the distance between the positive electrode 11 and the negative electrode 12 constant throughout the hydrogen-containing water generating electrode 10. It becomes easy. As a result, the hydrogen-containing water generating electrode 10 suppresses variations in electrical resistance between the positive electrode 11 and the negative electrode 12 and suppresses variations in current density, so that hydrogen bubbles are uniformly generated from the whole. be able to. It is preferable to make the size t between the electrodes the same as the thickness of the insulator 13 because the insulator 13 can be easily brought into contact with both the positive electrode 11 and the negative electrode 12. Next, the positive electrode power supply member 14 and the negative electrode power supply member 15 will be described.
　図４に示すように、正極用給電部材１４は、正極１１の第１の端部（一方の端部）１１Ｔ１から第２の端部（他方の端部）１１Ｔ２に向かって延びる棒状の導体である。図５、図６に示すように、正極用給電部材１４は、正極１１が延びる方向（長手方向）Ｅにおける正極１１の寸法Ｌの半分Ｌ／２よりも短い部分が、正極１１の内側部１１Ｓｉに取り付けられる。負極用給電部材１５は、負極１２の第１の端部１２Ｔ１から第２の端部１２Ｔ２に向かって延びる棒状の導体である。図５、図６に示すように、負極用給電部材１５は、負極１２が延びる方向（長手方向）Ｅにおける負極１２の寸法Ｌの半分Ｌ／２よりも短い部分が、負極１２の外側部１２Ｓｏに取り付けられる。正極用給電部材１４の正極１１に取り付けられる部分の長さ及び負極用給電部材１５の負極１２に取り付けられる部分の長さは、いずれもＬＳである。本実施形態において、ＬＳ＜Ｌ／２である。 As shown in FIG. 4, the positive electrode power supply member 14 is a rod-shaped conductor that extends from the first end (one end) 11T1 of the positive electrode 11 toward the second end (the other end) 11T2. is there. As shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, in the positive electrode power supply member 14, the portion shorter than half L / 2 of the dimension L of the positive electrode 11 in the extending direction (longitudinal direction) E of the positive electrode 11 is the inner portion 11Si of the positive electrode 11. Attached to. The negative electrode power supply member 15 is a rod-shaped conductor extending from the first end 12T1 of the negative electrode 12 toward the second end 12T2. As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, in the negative electrode power supply member 15, a portion shorter than half L / 2 of the dimension L of the negative electrode 12 in the extending direction (longitudinal direction) E of the negative electrode 12 is the outer portion 12So of the negative electrode 12.

In the present embodiment, LS <L / 2.
　図４に示すように、正極用支持部材１８は、正極１１の第２の端部１１Ｔ２から第１の端部１１Ｔ１に向かって延びる棒状の導体である。図５に示すように、正極用支持部材１８は、正極１１の長手方向Ｅにおける正極１１の寸法Ｌの半分Ｌ／２よりも短い部分が、正極１１の内側部１１Ｓｉに取り付けられる。負極用指示部材１９は、負極１２の第２の端部１２Ｔ２から第１の端部１２Ｔ１に向かって延びる棒状の導体である。図５に示すように、負極用支持部材１９は、負極１２の長手方向Ｅにおける負極１２の寸法Ｌの半分Ｌ／２よりも短い部分が、負極１２の外側部１２Ｓｏに取り付けられる。 As shown in FIG. 4, the positive electrode support member 18 is a rod-shaped conductor extending from the second end portion 11T2 of the positive electrode 11 toward the first end portion 11T1. As shown in FIG. 5, the positive electrode support member 18 is attached to the inner portion 11 Si of the positive electrode 11 at a portion shorter than half L / 2 of the dimension L of the positive electrode 11 in the longitudinal direction E of the positive electrode 11.

As shown in FIG. 5, the negative electrode support member 19 is attached to the outer portion 12So of the negative electrode 12 at a portion shorter than half L / 2 of the dimension L of the negative electrode 12 in the longitudinal direction E of the negative electrode 12.
　本実施形態において、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は、正極１１及び負極１２と同様に、チタンに白金をめっきした部材である。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は、正極１１及び負極１２と同様に、チタンに白金をめっきしたものに限定されるものではないが、原水Ｗに溶け出さない材料であることが好ましい。正極用給電部材１４と負極用給電部材１５とは、例えば、溶接等の接合手段によって、それぞれ、正極１１と負極１２とに接合されて、電気的に接続される。正極用給電部材１４と負極用給電部材１５とは、例えば、溶接等の接合手段によって、それぞれ、正極１１と負極１２とに接合されて、取り付けられる。 In the present embodiment, the positive electrode power supply member 14, the negative electrode power supply member 15, the positive electrode support member 18, and the negative electrode support member 19 are members obtained by plating platinum on titanium, similarly to the positive electrode 11 and the negative electrode 12. Like the positive electrode 11 and the negative electrode 12, the positive electrode power supply member 14, the negative electrode power supply member 15, the positive electrode support member 18, and the negative electrode support member 19 are not limited to those obtained by plating platinum on titanium.

The negative electrode power supply member 15 and the negative electrode support member 19 are separate members, and a portion shorter than half L / 2 of the dimension L of the negative electrode 12 in the extending direction (longitudinal direction) E of the negative electrode 12 is an outer portion of the negative electrode 12. It is attached to 12So. For this reason, in the outer portion 12So of the negative electrode 12, a portion (gap) where these do not exist is generated between the negative electrode power supply member 15 and the negative electrode support member 19. In the hydrogen-containing water generating electrode 10, the restraining member 40 can be attached to a portion of the outer portion 12So of the negative electrode 12 where the negative electrode power supply member 15 and the negative electrode support member 19 are not present. Since the restraining member 40 does not interfere with the negative electrode power supply member 15 and the negative electrode support member 19, the negative electrode 12, the insulator 13, and the positive electrode 11 can be restrained with a uniform force over the entire outer periphery of the negative electrode 12.

The plurality of joint portions CP are provided so as not to be partially biased in the longitudinal direction of the positive electrode power supply member 14a and the negative electrode power supply member 15a. In this way, the positive electrode power supply member 14a and the negative electrode power supply member 15a can supply power to the positive electrode 11 and the negative electrode 12 from the entire lengthwise direction E. For this reason, the hydrogen-containing water generating electrode 10a can make the current distribution in the longitudinal direction E of the positive electrode 11 and the negative electrode 12 uniform, so that hydrogen can be generated from the entire region of the negative electrode 12 in the longitudinal direction E. . Further, since the positive electrode 11 and the negative electrode 12 are electrically connected to the positive electrode power supply member 14a and the negative electrode power supply member 15a, respectively, in a wide range in the longitudinal direction E, the hydrogen-containing water generating electrode 10a is It is possible to efficiently use the current while suppressing a decrease in the efficiency of the current. That is, the hydrogen-containing water generating electrode 10a can suppress a decrease in the utilization efficiency of the applied current. As a result, the hydrogen-containing water generating electrode 10a can increase the hydrogen content per unit power. Furthermore, the positive electrode 11 and the negative electrode 12 are reinforced by setting the length of the portion attached to the positive electrode 11 of the positive electrode power supply member 14a and the length LS of the portion attached to the negative electrode 12 of the negative electrode power supply member 15a to the above-described ranges.

　水素含有水生成用電極１０ｃ、１０ｄが備える正極１１ｃ、１１ｄ及び負極１２ｃ、１２ｄは、平面と曲面とを組み合わせた形状である。また、図１、図２、図８、図９等に示す水素含有水生成用電極１０、１０ａ、１０ｂは、円筒形状であるため、正極１１及び負極１２の全周にわたって曲面である。このように、本実施形態において、水素含有水生成用電極１０、１０ａ、１０ｂ、１０ｃ、１０ｄが備える正極１１、１１ｃ、１１ｄ及び負極１２、１２ｃ、１２ｄは、少なくとも一部が曲面であればよい。水素含有水生成用電極１０は、正極１１及び負極１２を円筒形状とすることにより、全周にわたって効率よく水素の気泡を負極１１から離脱させ、原水Ｗに溶存させることができる。また、正極１１及び負極１２を円筒形状とすることにより、製造も容易である。 The positive electrodes 11c and 11d and the negative electrodes 12c and 12d included in the hydrogen-containing water generating electrodes 10c and 10d have a shape combining a flat surface and a curved surface. Further, the hydrogen-containing water generating electrodes 10, 10 a, and 10 b shown in FIGS. 1, 2, 8, 9, and the like are cylindrical, and are curved over the entire circumference of the positive electrode 11 and the negative electrode 12. Thus, in this embodiment, the positive electrodes 11, 11c, 11d and the negative electrodes 12, 12c, 12d included in the hydrogen-containing water generating electrodes 10, 10a, 10b, 10c, 10d may be at least partially curved. . In the hydrogen-containing water generating electrode 10, by making the positive electrode 11 and the negative electrode 12 cylindrical, hydrogen bubbles can be efficiently separated from the negative electrode 11 and dissolved in the raw water W over the entire circumference. Moreover, manufacture is also easy by making the positive electrode 11 and the negative electrode 12 cylindrical shape.
　水素含有水生成用電極１０、１０ａ、１０ｂ、１０ｃ、１０ｄは、正極１１、１１ｃ、１１ｄと負極１２、１２ｃ、１２ｄとを曲面を有する形状とすることにより、水素を効率的に発生させることができる。水素含有水生成用電極１０、１０ａ、１０ｂ、１０ｃ、１０ｄを原水Ｗ中に投入して使用する場合、曲面の部分が上方（重力の作用する方向とは反対方向側）を向くようにして設置されることが好ましい。次に、正極１１、負極１２及び絶縁体１３が有する開口１１Ｈ、１２Ｈ、１３Ｈについて説明する。 The hydrogen-containing water generating electrodes 10, 10 a, 10 b, 10 c, and 10 d can efficiently generate hydrogen by forming the positive electrodes 11, 11 c, 11 d and the negative electrodes 12, 12 c, 12 d into curved shapes. it can. When the hydrogen-containing water generating electrodes 10, 10a, 10b, 10c, and 10d are used in the raw water W, they are installed so that the curved surface faces upward (the direction opposite to the direction in which gravity acts). It is preferred that Next, the openings 11H, 12H, and 13H included in the positive electrode 11, the negative electrode 12, and the insulator 13 will be described.
　図１２は、正極及び負極の一部を拡大して示す図である。図１３は、正極及び負極が有する開口の拡大図である。図１４は、図１２のＢ－Ｂ断面図である。図１５は、絶縁体の一部を拡大して示す図である。正極１１及び負極１２は、複数の線状の部分（線状部分）１６が交差した、網状の部材である。複数の線状部分１６で囲まれる部分が、正極１１及び負極１２の開口１１Ｈ、１２Ｈとなる。本実施形態において、正極１１及び負極１２が有する開口１１Ｈ、１２Ｈは、菱形形状である。開口１１Ｈ、１２Ｈは、一方の対角線（第１対角線）ＴＬｌが他方の対角線（第２対角線）ＴＬｓよりも長くなっている。開口１１Ｈ、１２Ｈは、第１対角線ＴＬｌ上の頂部Ｐａ、Ｐｂでの角度が、第２対角線ＴＬｓ上の頂部Ｐｃ、Ｐｄでの角度よりも小さくなっている。 FIG. 12 is an enlarged view showing a part of the positive electrode and the negative electrode. FIG. 13 is an enlarged view of the openings of the positive electrode and the negative electrode. 14 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line BB of FIG. FIG. 15 is an enlarged view of a part of the insulator. The positive electrode 11 and the negative electrode 12 are net members in which a plurality of linear portions (linear portions) 16 intersect. The portions surrounded by the plurality of linear portions 16 become the openings 11H and 12H of the positive electrode 11 and the negative electrode 12. In the present embodiment, the openings 11H and 12H included in the positive electrode 11 and the negative electrode 12 have a rhombus shape. In the openings 11H and 12H, one diagonal line (first diagonal line) TLl is longer than the other diagonal line (second diagonal line) TLs. In the openings 11H and 12H, the angles at the top portions Pa and Pb on the first diagonal line TLl are smaller than the angles at the top portions Pc and Pd on the second diagonal line TLs.
　正極１１及び負極１２は、複数の開口１１Ｈ、１２Ｈを有するので、開口１１Ｈ、１２Ｈを通して電気力線を内側と外側とに回すことができる。このため、正極１１及び負極１２は、両面を電気分解に利用することができるので、水素を効率的に発生させることができる。また、負極１２は、線状部分１６で囲まれた開口１２Ｈにより、自身が生成する水素の気泡のぬれ角を小さくすることができるので、水素の気泡を小さい状態で離脱させることができる。すなわち、生成される水素と負極１２の表面との間に生じる吸着力が、点接触に近い状態になって表面張力が抑制されるので、結果として、負極１２は、水素の気泡を小さい状態で離脱させて、多くの水素の気泡を溶存した水素含有水を生成することができる。 Since the positive electrode 11 and the negative electrode 12 have a plurality of openings 11H and 12H, electric lines of force can be turned inward and outward through the openings 11H and 12H. For this reason, since both the positive electrode 11 and the negative electrode 12 can be utilized for electrolysis, hydrogen can be generated efficiently. Further, since the anode 12 can reduce the wetting angle of the hydrogen bubbles generated by the opening 12H surrounded by the linear portion 16, the hydrogen bubbles can be released in a small state. That is, the adsorption force generated between the generated hydrogen and the surface of the negative electrode 12 becomes close to point contact and the surface tension is suppressed. As a result, the negative electrode 12 has a small amount of hydrogen bubbles. The hydrogen-containing water in which many hydrogen bubbles are dissolved can be generated by being separated.
　本実施形態において、正極１１及び負極１２の線状部分１６は、図１４に示すように、断面が長方形（図１４の例では正方形）となっている。負極１２は、線状部分１６が有する角部１６Ｔによって、水素の気泡のぬれ角をさらに小さくして表面張力を抑制することができるので、水素の気泡をより小さい状態で離脱させることができる。このため、負極１２は、より小さい水素の気泡を溶存させた水素水を生成することができる。また、負極１２は、断面が長方形の線状部分１６を有するので、水素の発生に利用することができる表面積を大きくすることができる。これらの作用により、負極１２は、水素を原水に溶存させる効率が向上する。 In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 14, the linear portions 16 of the positive electrode 11 and the negative electrode 12 have a rectangular cross section (in the example of FIG. 14, a square). In the negative electrode 12, the corners 16 </ b> T of the linear portions 16 can further reduce the wetting angle of the hydrogen bubbles and suppress the surface tension, so that the hydrogen bubbles can be released in a smaller state. Therefore, the negative electrode 12 can generate hydrogen water in which smaller hydrogen bubbles are dissolved. Moreover, since the negative electrode 12 has the linear portion 16 having a rectangular cross section, the surface area that can be used for generation of hydrogen can be increased. By these actions, the negative electrode 12 improves the efficiency of dissolving hydrogen in the raw water.
　本実施形態において、開口１１Ｈ、１２Ｈは、図１３に示すように、第１対角線ＴＬｌが、正極１１及び負極１２が延びる方向、すなわち長手方向Ｅに向かっている。第２対角線ＴＬｓは、円筒形状の正極１１及び負極１２の周方向Ｃに向かっている。正極１１及び負極１２は、図１、図２に示すように、長手方向Ｅの両側に端部側開口部１０ＨＡ、１０ＨＢを有している。正極１１の内側に発生した酸素の気泡は、図３に示すように、端部側開口部１０ＨＡ、１０ＨＢから水素含有水生成用電極１０の外部に放出される。このとき、酸素の気泡が移動する方向に、正極１１の開口１１Ｈの長手方向が揃っているので、酸素の気泡は端部側開口部１０ＨＡ、１０ＨＢに移動しやすくなる。その結果、水素含有水生成用電極１０は、酸素の気泡を効率的に外部へ放出することができる。また、正極１１の開口１１Ｈは、第１対角線ＴＬｌ上の頂部Ｐａ、Ｐｂの角度が鋭角になるので、酸素の気泡と線状部分１６との接触面積を小さくすることができる。その結果、酸素の気泡は、線状部分１６から離脱しやすくなるので、水素含有水生成用電極１０は、酸素の気泡を効率的に外部へ放出することができる。また、正極１１は、線状部分１６が角部１６Ｔを有するので、この角部１６Ｔによって、酸素の気泡のぬれ角をさらに小さくして表面張力を抑制することができる。その結果、正極１１は、酸素の気泡を線状部分１６から速やかに離脱させて端部側開口部１０ＨＡ、１０ＨＢに移動させることができる。このため、水素含有水生成用電極１０は、酸素の気泡を効率的に外部へ放出することができる。さらに、酸素の気泡が正極１１の内側に沿って移動する過程で、正極１１側で新たに生成された酸素の気泡を取り込んで酸素の気泡が成長する。このため、酸素の気泡と原水Ｗとが接触する面積を小さくして、原水Ｗへの酸素の溶存を抑制することができる。 In the present embodiment, the openings 11H and 12H have the first diagonal line TLl in the direction in which the positive electrode 11 and the negative electrode 12 extend, that is, the longitudinal direction E, as shown in FIG. The second diagonal line TLs faces the circumferential direction C of the cylindrical positive electrode 11 and negative electrode 12. The positive electrode 11 and the negative electrode 12 have end side openings 10HA and 10HB on both sides in the longitudinal direction E, as shown in FIGS. As shown in FIG. 3, the oxygen bubbles generated inside the positive electrode 11 are discharged to the outside of the hydrogen-containing water generating electrode 10 from the end side openings 10HA and 10HB. At this time, since the longitudinal direction of the opening 11H of the positive electrode 11 is aligned in the direction in which the oxygen bubbles move, the oxygen bubbles easily move to the end side openings 10HA and 10HB. As a result, the hydrogen-containing water generating electrode 10 can efficiently release oxygen bubbles to the outside. Further, since the opening 11H of the positive electrode 11 has an acute angle at the top portions Pa and Pb on the first diagonal line TLl, the contact area between the oxygen bubbles and the linear portion 16 can be reduced. As a result, since the oxygen bubbles are easily detached from the linear portion 16, the hydrogen-containing water generating electrode 10 can efficiently release the oxygen bubbles to the outside. Moreover, since the linear part 16 has the corner | angular part 16T, the positive electrode 11 can further reduce the wetting angle of the bubble of oxygen by this corner | angular part 16T, and can suppress surface tension. As a result, the positive electrode 11 can quickly remove oxygen bubbles from the linear portion 16 and move them to the end side openings 10HA and 10HB. For this reason, the hydrogen-containing water generating electrode 10 can efficiently release oxygen bubbles to the outside. Furthermore, in the process in which oxygen bubbles move along the inside of the positive electrode 11, oxygen bubbles newly grown on the positive electrode 11 side are taken in and oxygen bubbles grow. For this reason, the area where oxygen bubbles and the raw water W come into contact with each other can be reduced, and the dissolution of oxygen in the raw water W can be suppressed.
　図１５に示すように、絶縁体１３は、複数の線状部材１７を交差させ、線状部材１７で囲まれる部分が開口１３Ｈとなる網状の部材である。開口１３Ｈは、長方形形状（本実施形態では正方形形状）となっている。開口１３Ｈは、一辺の長さがＬａであり、この辺に隣接する辺の長さがＬｂである。本実施形態において、開口１３Ｈは正方形形状なので、Ｌａ＝Ｌｂである。長さがＬａの辺は、正極１１及び負極１２の長手方向Ｅと平行であり、長さがＬｂの辺は、円筒形状の正極１１及び負極１２の周方向Ｃと平行である。 As shown in FIG. 15, the insulator 13 is a net-like member in which a plurality of linear members 17 intersect and a portion surrounded by the linear members 17 is an opening 13H. The opening 13H has a rectangular shape (in this embodiment, a square shape). The length of one side of the opening 13H is La, and the length of the side adjacent to this side is Lb. In the present embodiment, since the opening 13H has a square shape, La = Lb. The side with the length La is parallel to the longitudinal direction E of the positive electrode 11 and the negative electrode 12, and the side with the length Lb is parallel to the circumferential direction C of the cylindrical positive electrode 11 and negative electrode 12.
　本実施形態において、正極１１の開口１１Ｈ及び負極１２の開口１２Ｈは、絶縁体１３の開口１３Ｈよりも大きい。開口１１Ｈ、１２Ｈの面積は、第１対角線ＴＬｌの長さをＬｌ、第２対角線ＴＬｓの長さをＬｓとすると、Ｌｌ×Ｌｓ／２である。開口１３Ｈの面積（開口面積）は、Ｌａ×Ｌｂである。このため、Ｌｌ×Ｌｓ／２＞Ｌａ×Ｌｂとなる。本実施形態において、例えば、第１対角線ＴＬｌの長さＬｌは６ｍｍ、第２対角線ＴＬｓの長さＬｓは３ｍｍであるので、開口１１Ｈ、１２Ｈの面積は、９ｍｍ２となる。開口１３Ｈは、例えば、Ｌａ＝Ｌｂ＝１．０６ｍｍである。すなわち、絶縁体１３は、１ｉｎｃｈあたり２４個の開口１３Ｈが配列されている。開口１３Ｈの面積（開口面積）は、１．１２ｍｍ２となる。このように、本実施形態において、正極１１及び負極１２の開口１１Ｈ、１２Ｈの面積は、開口１３Ｈの面積の８倍程度である。 In the present embodiment, the opening 11H of the positive electrode 11 and the opening 12H of the negative electrode 12 are larger than the opening 13H of the insulator 13. The areas of the openings 11H and 12H are L1 × Ls / 2 where the length of the first diagonal line TLl is L1 and the length of the second diagonal line TLs is Ls. The area (opening area) of the opening 13H is La × Lb. Therefore, L1 × Ls / 2> La × Lb. In the present embodiment, for example, the length Ll of the first diagonal line TLl is 6 mm and the length Ls of the second diagonal line TLs is 3 mm, so the areas of the openings 11H and 12H are 9 mm 2 . The opening 13H is, for example, La = Lb = 1.06 mm. That is, the insulator 13 has 24 openings 13H arranged per inch. The area (opening area) of the opening 13H is 1.12 mm 2 . Thus, in the present embodiment, the areas of the openings 11H and 12H of the positive electrode 11 and the negative electrode 12 are about eight times the area of the opening 13H.
　正極１１及び負極１２の開口１１Ｈ、１２Ｈよりも絶縁体１３の開口１３Ｈが大きい場合、絶縁体１３の開口１３Ｈを通して正極１１と負極１２とが接触する可能性が高くなる。水素含有水生成用電極１０は、正極１１及び負極１２の開口１１Ｈ、１２Ｈよりも絶縁体１３の開口１３Ｈを小さくすることにより、絶縁体１３の開口１３Ｈを通して正極１１と負極１２とが互いに接触することを回避できる。このように、水素含有水生成用電極１０は、正極１１と負極１２との距離を小さくしても、正極１１と負極１２との短絡を回避して、両者の絶縁を確保できる。このため、水素含有水生成用電極１０は、正極１１と負極１２とに印加する電圧を低く抑えることが求められる、原水Ｗに投入する方式に対して好適である。 When the opening 13H of the insulator 13 is larger than the openings 11H and 12H of the positive electrode 11 and the negative electrode 12, there is a high possibility that the positive electrode 11 and the negative electrode 12 come into contact through the opening 13H of the insulator 13. In the hydrogen-containing water generating electrode 10, the opening 13 H of the insulator 13 is made smaller than the openings 11 H and 12 H of the positive electrode 11 and the negative electrode 12, so that the positive electrode 11 and the negative electrode 12 come into contact with each other through the opening 13 H of the insulator 13. You can avoid that. In this way, even when the distance between the positive electrode 11 and the negative electrode 12 is reduced, the hydrogen-containing water generating electrode 10 can avoid a short circuit between the positive electrode 11 and the negative electrode 12 and ensure insulation between them. For this reason, the hydrogen-containing water generating electrode 10 is suitable for a method of charging the raw water W, in which the voltage applied to the positive electrode 11 and the negative electrode 12 is required to be kept low.
　本実施形態において、絶縁体１３は、複数の線状部材１７を交差させた網状の部材である。このような網状の部材を用いると、絶縁体１３は、厚み方向にある程度の変形が許容されるので、水素含有水生成用電極１０が振動又は衝撃を受けたとき、これを絶縁体１３が吸収することができる。絶縁体１３に、複数の線状部材１７を交差させた網状の部材を用いると、移動及び持ち運びが可能な可搬型の水素含有水生成用電極１０に好適である。 In this embodiment, the insulator 13 is a net-like member in which a plurality of linear members 17 are crossed. When such a net-like member is used, the insulator 13 can be deformed to some extent in the thickness direction. Therefore, when the hydrogen-containing water generating electrode 10 receives vibration or impact, the insulator 13 absorbs this. can do. Using a net-like member in which a plurality of linear members 17 are crossed as the insulator 13 is suitable for the portable hydrogen-containing water generating electrode 10 that can be moved and carried.
　水素含有水生成用電極１０は、絶縁体１３の開口１３Ｈが正極１１の開口１１Ｈ及び負極１２の開口１２Ｈよりも小さいので、正極１１側で発生した酸素の気泡を絶縁体１３の線状部材１７で捕捉し、大きな気泡とすることができる。酸素の気泡が大きくなることで、原水Ｗへの酸素の溶存が抑制されるので、水素含有水生成用電極１０は、水素の気泡の溶存率が高い水素含有水を生成することができる。また、酸素の気泡が大きくなることで浮力が大きくなる結果、酸素の気泡が正極１１の内側を移動しやすくなり、また開口１３Ｈを通過しやすくなるので、水素含有水生成用電極１０は、酸素の気泡を内部から放出しやすくなる。 In the hydrogen-containing water generating electrode 10, the opening 13 </ b> H of the insulator 13 is smaller than the opening 11 </ b> H of the positive electrode 11 and the opening 12 </ b> H of the negative electrode 12. To capture large bubbles. Since the oxygen bubbles are increased, the dissolution of oxygen in the raw water W is suppressed, so that the hydrogen-containing water generating electrode 10 can generate hydrogen-containing water having a high dissolved rate of hydrogen bubbles. Further, since the buoyancy increases as the oxygen bubbles increase, the oxygen bubbles easily move inside the positive electrode 11 and easily pass through the opening 13H. It becomes easy to discharge air bubbles from the inside.
　また、線状部材１７によって捕捉されなかった酸素の気泡は、絶縁体１３の開口１３Ｈを通過して、負極１２の線状部分１６に付着している水素の気泡を引き連れて線状部分１６から離脱させる。このため、水素含有水生成用電極１０は、負極１２で発生した水素の気泡を負極１２から速やかに離脱させて原水Ｗ中に溶存させることができる。次に、水素含有水生成用電極１０の製造方法を説明する。 Also, oxygen bubbles not captured by the linear member 17 pass through the opening 13H of the insulator 13 and draw in the hydrogen bubbles attached to the linear portion 16 of the negative electrode 12 from the linear portion 16. Let go. For this reason, the hydrogen-containing water generating electrode 10 can quickly separate hydrogen bubbles generated in the negative electrode 12 from the negative electrode 12 and dissolve them in the raw water W. Next, the manufacturing method of the electrode 10 for hydrogen containing water production | generation is demonstrated.
＜水素含有水生成用電極の製造方法＞
　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。 <Method for producing electrode for producing hydrogen-containing water>
FIG. 16 is a flowchart of the method for producing the hydrogen-containing water generating electrode according to this embodiment. FIG. 17 to FIG. 26 are diagrams showing each step of the method for manufacturing the hydrogen-containing water generating electrode according to the present embodiment. In manufacturing the hydrogen-containing water generating electrode 10, first, in step S101, as shown in FIGS. 17 and 18, the positive electrode material 11M and the negative electrode material 12M, which are conductors, are bent into substantially cylindrical members. The positive electrode material 11M and the negative electrode material 12M are plate-like conductors having a plurality of openings (corresponding to the opening 11H of the positive electrode 11 and the opening 12H of the negative electrode 12 shown in FIG. 4 and the like, omitted in FIGS. 17 and 18). The substantially cylindrical member in which the positive electrode material 11M and the negative electrode material 12M are bent has slits 11SL and 12SL in the longitudinal direction E, that is, the direction in which the substantially cylindrical member extends, except for a part in the circumferential direction C. ing. As shown in FIG. 17, the slit 11SL is formed between the opposite end portions 11MT and 11MT of the positive electrode material 11M. As shown in FIG. 18, the slit 12SL is formed between the opposing ends 12MT and 12MT of the negative electrode material 12M.
　正極材料１１Ｍは、長手方向Ｅが、図１９に示す正極材料の開口１１Ｈの第１対角線ＴＬｌと平行になっている。開口１１Ｈの第１対角線ＴＬｌは、第２対角線ＴＬｓよりも長い。このため、図１９に示す開口１１Ｈは、第１対角線ＴＬｌよりも短い第２対角線ＴＬｓが、正極材料１１Ｍが曲げられた略円筒形状の部材の周方向Ｃに向かっている。その結果、正極材料１１Ｍを筒状に曲げやすくなり、正極１１の寸法精度も確保しやすくなる。 In the positive electrode material 11M, the longitudinal direction E is parallel to the first diagonal line TLl of the opening 11H of the positive electrode material shown in FIG. The first diagonal line TLl of the opening 11H is longer than the second diagonal line TLs. For this reason, in the opening 11H shown in FIG. 19, the second diagonal line TLs shorter than the first diagonal line TLl is directed in the circumferential direction C of the substantially cylindrical member in which the positive electrode material 11M is bent. As a result, the positive electrode material 11M can be easily bent into a cylindrical shape, and the dimensional accuracy of the positive electrode 11 can be easily secured.
　負極材料１２Ｍは、長手方向Ｅが、図２０に示す負極材料の開口１２Ｈの第１対角線ＴＬｌと平行になっている。開口１２Ｈの第１対角線ＴＬｌは、第２対角線ＴＬｓよりも長い。このため、図２０に示す開口１２Ｈは、第１対角線ＴＬｌよりも短い第２対角線ＴＬｓが、負極材料１２Ｍが曲げられた略円筒形状の部材の周方向Ｃに向かっている。その結果、負極材料１２Ｍを筒状に曲げやすくなり、負極１２の寸法精度も確保しやすくなる。 In the negative electrode material 12M, the longitudinal direction E is parallel to the first diagonal line TLl of the opening 12H of the negative electrode material shown in FIG. The first diagonal line TLl of the opening 12H is longer than the second diagonal line TLs. Therefore, in the opening 12H shown in FIG. 20, the second diagonal line TLs shorter than the first diagonal line TLl is directed in the circumferential direction C of the substantially cylindrical member in which the negative electrode material 12M is bent. As a result, the negative electrode material 12M can be easily bent into a cylindrical shape, and the dimensional accuracy of the negative electrode 12 can be easily secured.
　次に、ステップＳ１０２において、給電部材及び支持部材が、円筒形状に曲げられた正極材料１１Ｍと負極材料１２Ｍとにそれぞれ取り付けられる（図２１、図２２参照）。給電部材とは、図２１に示す正極用給電部材１４と図２２に示す負極用給電部材１５とをいう。支持部材とは、図２１に示す正極用支持部材１８と図２２に示す負極用支持部材１９とをいう。 Next, in step S102, the power feeding member and the support member are respectively attached to the positive electrode material 11M and the negative electrode material 12M bent into a cylindrical shape (see FIGS. 21 and 22). The power feeding member refers to the positive power feeding member 14 shown in FIG. 21 and the negative power feeding member 15 shown in FIG. The support members refer to the positive electrode support member 18 shown in FIG. 21 and the negative electrode support member 19 shown in FIG.
　図２１に示すように、正極用給電部材１４及び正極用支持部材１８は、正極材料１１Ｍの曲がりの内側の面１１Ｍｉに取り付けられる。正極用給電部材１４及び正極用支持部材１８は、長手方向が、図１９に示す開口１１Ｈの第１対角線ＴＬｌと平行になるように正極材料１１Ｍに接続されて、取り付けられる。正極用給電部材１４及び正極用支持部材１８は、例えば、溶接によって正極材料１１Ｍに接合される。このため、正極用給電部材１４と正極材料１１Ｍとは電気的に接続される。 As shown in FIG. 21, the positive electrode power supply member 14 and the positive electrode support member 18 are attached to the inner surface 11Mi of the positive electrode material 11M. The positive electrode power supply member 14 and the positive electrode support member 18 are connected and attached to the positive electrode material 11M so that the longitudinal direction thereof is parallel to the first diagonal line TLl of the opening 11H shown in FIG. The positive electrode power supply member 14 and the positive electrode support member 18 are joined to the positive electrode material 11M by welding, for example. For this reason, the positive electrode power supply member 14 and the positive electrode material 11M are electrically connected.
　図２２に示すように、負極用給電部材１５及び負極用支持部材１９は、負極材料１２Ｍの曲がりの外側の面１２Ｍｏに取り付けられる。負極用給電部材１５及び負極用支持部材１９は、長手方向が、図２０に示す開口１２Ｈの第１対角線ＴＬｌと平行になるように負極材料１２Ｍに接続されて、取り付けられる。負極用給電部材１５及び負極用支持部材１９は、例えば、溶接によって負極材料１２Ｍに接合される。このため、負極用給電部材１５と負極材料１２Ｍとは電気的に接続される。 As shown in FIG. 22, the negative electrode power supply member 15 and the negative electrode support member 19 are attached to the outer surface 12Mo of the negative electrode material 12M. The negative electrode power supply member 15 and the negative electrode support member 19 are connected and attached to the negative electrode material 12M so that the longitudinal direction thereof is parallel to the first diagonal line TLl of the opening 12H shown in FIG. The negative electrode power supply member 15 and the negative electrode support member 19 are joined to the negative electrode material 12M by welding, for example. For this reason, the negative electrode power supply member 15 and the negative electrode material 12M are electrically connected.
　正極用給電部材１４及び正極用支持部材１８が取り付けられた正極材料１１Ｍと、負極用給電部材１５及び負極用支持部材１９が取り付けられた負極材料１２Ｍとは、めっき（本実施形態では白金めっき）が施される。負極１２にめっきを施さない場合、正極用給電部材１４及び正極用支持部材１８が取り付けられた正極材料１１Ｍのみにめっきが施される。このようにして、正極１１及び負極１２が完成する。正極１１及び負極１２は、いずれも筒状の導電体であり、側部に複数の開口を有し、かつ周方向における一部が除かれ、長手方向Ｅ、すなわち筒状の導電体が延びる方向にスリット１１ＳＬ、１２ＳＬを有している。 The positive electrode material 11M to which the positive electrode power supply member 14 and the positive electrode support member 18 are attached and the negative electrode material 12M to which the negative electrode power supply member 15 and the negative electrode support member 19 are attached are plated (platinum plating in this embodiment). Is given. When the negative electrode 12 is not plated, only the positive electrode material 11M to which the positive electrode power supply member 14 and the positive electrode support member 18 are attached is plated. In this way, the positive electrode 11 and the negative electrode 12 are completed. Each of the positive electrode 11 and the negative electrode 12 is a cylindrical conductor, has a plurality of openings in the side portion, a part in the circumferential direction is removed, and the longitudinal direction E, that is, the direction in which the cylindrical conductor extends. Have slits 11SL and 12SL.
　次に、ステップＳ１０３に進み、図２３に示すように、筒状の導電体であり、側部１１Ｓに複数の開口１１Ｈを有する正極１１の側部１１Ｓを、網状の絶縁体１３で覆う。絶縁体１３で正極１１の側部１１Ｓを覆うにあたって、スリット１１ＳＬの位置は特に限定されるものではない。 Next, the process proceeds to step S103, and as shown in FIG. 23, the side part 11S of the positive electrode 11 which is a cylindrical conductor and has a plurality of openings 11H in the side part 11S is covered with a net-like insulator 13. In covering the side part 11S of the positive electrode 11 with the insulator 13, the position of the slit 11SL is not particularly limited.
　次に、ステップＳ１０４において、図２４に示すように、負極１２を、スリット１２ＳＬから正極１１及び絶縁体１３を通して絶縁体１３の外側に取り付ける。正極１１及び絶縁体１３を負極１２のスリット１２ＳＬに通すときには、スリット１２ＳＬを広げておく。負極１２の内側に正極１１及び絶縁体１３が配置されたら、ステップＳ１０５において、広げられていたスリット１２ＳＬを閉じる。 Next, in step S104, as shown in FIG. 24, the negative electrode 12 is attached to the outside of the insulator 13 through the slit 12SL through the positive electrode 11 and the insulator 13. When the positive electrode 11 and the insulator 13 are passed through the slit 12SL of the negative electrode 12, the slit 12SL is widened. When the positive electrode 11 and the insulator 13 are disposed inside the negative electrode 12, the slit 12SL that has been widened is closed in step S105.
　その後、ステップＳ１０６において、図２５に示すように、負極１２の外側に、拘束部材４０を取り付けて負極１２と絶縁体１３と正極１１とを拘束する。負極用給電部材１５と負極用支持部材１９との間に複数の拘束部材４０が取り付けられる。拘束部材４０は、例えば、樹脂製の結束バンドを用いたり、耐食性が高く、かつ原水Ｗに溶け出さない金属の線材等を用いたりすることができる。負極１２と絶縁体１３と正極１１とが拘束部材４０によって拘束されて、図２６に示すように、水素含有水生成用電極１０が完成する。余分な絶縁体１３は、閉じられたスリット１２ＳＬから負極１２の外部に取り出されていてもよい。 Thereafter, in step S106, as shown in FIG. 25, a restraining member 40 is attached to the outside of the negative electrode 12 to restrain the negative electrode 12, the insulator 13, and the positive electrode 11. A plurality of restraining members 40 are attached between the negative electrode power supply member 15 and the negative electrode support member 19. For example, the binding member 40 may be made of a resin binding band, or may be made of a metal wire that has high corrosion resistance and does not dissolve in the raw water W. The negative electrode 12, the insulator 13, and the positive electrode 11 are restrained by the restraining member 40, and the hydrogen-containing water generating electrode 10 is completed as shown in FIG. The excess insulator 13 may be taken out of the negative electrode 12 through the closed slit 12SL.
　拘束部材４０によって、円筒形状の部材である負極１２及び正極１１には、これらの周方向に向かう力が与えられる。このため、正極１１及び負極１２のスリット１１ＳＬ、１２ＳＬが閉じられる。正極１１は、導電体であるとともに弾性体であり、スリット１１ＳＬを閉じる程度の変形は、正極１１の材料の弾性変形の範囲内における変形である。このため、正極１１のスリット１１ＳＬが閉じられると、正極１１には、閉じられたスリット１１ＳＬを開く力が発生する。 The restraining member 40 applies a force in the circumferential direction to the negative electrode 12 and the positive electrode 11 which are cylindrical members. For this reason, the slits 11SL and 12SL of the positive electrode 11 and the negative electrode 12 are closed. The positive electrode 11 is an elastic body as well as a conductor, and the deformation to the extent that the slit 11SL is closed is a deformation within the elastic deformation range of the material of the positive electrode 11. For this reason, when the slit 11SL of the positive electrode 11 is closed, the positive electrode 11 generates a force for opening the closed slit 11SL.
　正極１１は、負極１２を介して拘束部材４０によって拘束されているため、正極１１に発生する前述した力は、正極１１及び絶縁体１３を負極１２に押し付けるように作用する。その結果、絶縁体１３が正極１１と負極１２とに確実に接触するので、絶縁体１３の厚みによって正極１１と負極１２との間に形成される隙間が精度よく規定される。また、正極１１に発生する前述した力によって、正極１１と、絶縁体１３と、負極１２との間のずれが抑制される。このようにして、移動可能な可搬型の装置に用いられる水素含有水生成用電極１０を製造することができる。 Since the positive electrode 11 is constrained by the constraining member 40 via the negative electrode 12, the above-described force generated in the positive electrode 11 acts to press the positive electrode 11 and the insulator 13 against the negative electrode 12. As a result, since the insulator 13 is reliably in contact with the positive electrode 11 and the negative electrode 12, the gap formed between the positive electrode 11 and the negative electrode 12 is accurately defined by the thickness of the insulator 13. In addition, a shift between the positive electrode 11, the insulator 13, and the negative electrode 12 is suppressed by the above-described force generated in the positive electrode 11. In this manner, the hydrogen-containing water generating electrode 10 used in the movable portable device can be manufactured.
　本実施形態に係る水素含有水生成用電極の製造方法は、正極材料１１Ｍ及び負極材料１２Ｍに給電部材及び支持部材を取り付ける以外は、溶接等の接合を用いていない。このため、拘束部材４０を取り外すことによって、水素含有水生成用電極１０は、正極１１と、負極１２と、絶縁体１３とに容易に分解することができるので、保守、点検、補修及び部品交換が容易である。また、水素含有水生成用電極１０は、リサイクルも容易である。次に、水素含有水生成用電極１０を備えた水素含有水生成用装置について説明する。 The method for producing an electrode for generating hydrogen-containing water according to the present embodiment does not use welding or the like other than attaching a power supply member and a support member to the positive electrode material 11M and the negative electrode material 12M. For this reason, by removing the restraining member 40, the hydrogen-containing water generating electrode 10 can be easily disassembled into the positive electrode 11, the negative electrode 12, and the insulator 13, so that maintenance, inspection, repair, and parts replacement are possible. Is easy. The hydrogen-containing water generating electrode 10 can be easily recycled. Next, the hydrogen-containing water generating apparatus provided with the hydrogen-containing water generating electrode 10 will be described.

FIG. 28 is a diagram illustrating a first support provided in the hydrogen-containing water generating device according to the present embodiment. FIG. 29 is a diagram illustrating a second support provided in the hydrogen-containing water generating device according to the present embodiment. FIG. 30 is a diagram illustrating the opening of the protective member and the opening of the negative electrode included in the hydrogen-containing water generating device according to the present embodiment. The hydrogen-containing water generating apparatus 100 includes the above-described hydrogen-containing water generating electrode 10 and is an apparatus that is charged into the raw water W to generate hydrogen-containing water.
　水素含有水生成装置１００は、第１支持体１０１と、第２支持体１０２と、水素含有水生成用電極１０とを含む。本実施形態において、水素含有水生成装置１００は、さらに、保護部材１０３を有する。第１支持体１０１は、水素含有水生成用電極１０の第１の端部１０Ｔ１側に取り付けられる。第１支持体１０１は、水素含有水生成装置１００の設置対象ＦＬと接する第１の設置部１０１Ｃを有する。設置対象ＦＬは、例えば、浴槽の底部又は飲料水タンクの底部等である。本実施形態において、第１の設置部１０１Ｃは、第１支持体１０１の側部のうち、水素含有水生成用電極１０の中心軸Ｚｔの周りの側部である。 The hydrogen-containing water generating apparatus 100 includes a first support 101, a second support 102, and a hydrogen-containing water generating electrode 10. In the present embodiment, the hydrogen-containing water generating apparatus 100 further includes a protection member 103. The first support 101 is attached to the first end 10T1 side of the hydrogen-containing water generating electrode 10. The first support 101 has a first installation part 101 </ b> C in contact with the installation target FL of the hydrogen-containing water generating device 100. The installation target FL is, for example, the bottom of a bathtub or the bottom of a drinking water tank. In the present embodiment, the first installation portion 101 </ b> C is a side portion around the central axis Zt of the hydrogen-containing water generating electrode 10 among the side portions of the first support body 101.
　第２支持体１０２は、水素含有水生成用電極１０の第２の端部１０Ｔ２側に取り付けられる。第２支持体１０２は、設置対象ＦＬと接する第２の設置部１０２Ｃを有する。本実施形態において、第２の設置部１０２Ｃは、第２支持体１０２の側部のうち、水素含有水生成用電極１０の中心軸Ｚｔの周りの側部である。第２支持体１０２は、水素含有水生成用電極１０が有する正極１１の側部１１Ｓと直交する方向における正極１１の側部１１Ｓから第２の設置部１０２Ｃまでの距離（第２支持体側高さ）ｈ２は、正極１１の側部１１Ｓと直交する方向における正極１１の側部１１Ｓから第１の設置部１０１Ｃまでの距離（第１支持体側高さ）ｈ１よりも大きい。これにともなって、図２８に示す第１支持体１０１の高さＨ１は、図２９に示す第２支持体１０２の高さＨ２よりも小さくなっている。この例において、第１支持体側高さｈ１及び第２支持体側高さｈ２は、いずれも、設置対象ＦＬと設置する部分を基準としている。 The second support 102 is attached to the second end 10T2 side of the hydrogen-containing water generating electrode 10. The second support body 102 has a second installation part 102C in contact with the installation object FL. In the present embodiment, the second installation portion 102 </ b> C is a side portion around the central axis Zt of the hydrogen-containing water generation electrode 10 among the side portions of the second support 102. The second support 102 is a distance (second support side height from the side 11S of the positive electrode 11 to the second installation part 102C in the direction orthogonal to the side 11S of the positive electrode 11 of the hydrogen-containing water generating electrode 10. ) H2 is larger than the distance (first support side height) h1 from the side part 11S of the positive electrode 11 to the first installation part 101C in the direction orthogonal to the side part 11S of the positive electrode 11. Accordingly, the height H1 of the first support 101 shown in FIG. 28 is smaller than the height H2 of the second support 102 shown in FIG. In this example, the first support side height h1 and the second support side height h2 are both based on the installation target FL and the part to be installed.
　水素含有水生成用電極１０の第１の端部１０Ｔ１は、図４等に示す正極１１及び負極１２の第１の端部１１Ｔ１、１２Ｔ１に相当し、第２の端部１０Ｔ２は、正極１１及び負極１２の第２の端部１１Ｔ２、１２Ｔ２に相当する。負極１２の側部１２Ｓと直交する方向は、水素含有水生成用電極１０の中心軸Ｚｔと直交する方向に相当する。第１支持体１０１及び第２支持体１０２は、例えば、樹脂を成型して製造される。第１支持体１０１及び第２支持体１０２は、設置対象ＦＬに設置されたときに水素含有水生成用電極１０を指示する。 The first end portion 10T1 of the hydrogen-containing water generating electrode 10 corresponds to the first end portions 11T1 and 12T1 of the positive electrode 11 and the negative electrode 12 shown in FIG. 4 and the like, and the second end portion 10T2 includes the positive electrode 11 and This corresponds to the second ends 11T2 and 12T2 of the negative electrode 12. The direction orthogonal to the side portion 12S of the negative electrode 12 corresponds to the direction orthogonal to the central axis Zt of the hydrogen-containing water generating electrode 10. The 1st support body 101 and the 2nd support body 102 are manufactured by shape | molding resin, for example. The first support 101 and the second support 102 indicate the hydrogen-containing water generating electrode 10 when installed on the installation target FL.
　保護部材１０３は、筒状（本実施形態では円筒形状）の部材であり、側部に複数の開口１０３Ｈを有する。保護部材１０３が有する複数の開口１０３Ｈは、保護部材１０３の側部を保護部材１０３の厚み方向に貫通している。保護部材１０３は、水素含有水生成用電極１０の外側、より具体的には負極１２の外側に設けられる。保護部材１０３は、第１の端部１０３Ｔ１は第１支持体１０１に支持され、第２の端部１０３Ｔ２は第２支持体１０２に支持される。このような構造により、水素含有水生成用電極１０及び保護部材１０３は、それぞれの両端部側で第１支持体１０１及び第２支持体１０２によって支持される。 The protective member 103 is a cylindrical member (cylindrical in this embodiment), and has a plurality of openings 103H on the side. The plurality of openings 103 </ b> H included in the protection member 103 penetrates the side portions of the protection member 103 in the thickness direction of the protection member 103. The protective member 103 is provided outside the hydrogen-containing water generating electrode 10, more specifically, outside the negative electrode 12. The protection member 103 has a first end portion 103T1 supported by the first support body 101 and a second end portion 103T2 supported by the second support body 102. With such a structure, the hydrogen-containing water generating electrode 10 and the protection member 103 are supported by the first support body 101 and the second support body 102 at the both end portions thereof.
　保護部材１０３は、水素含有水生成用電極１０の外側に設けられて、これを保護する。また、保護部材１０３は、水素含有水生成装置１００の使用時には原水Ｗ中に投入されて、原水Ｗと接触する。このため、保護部材１０３は、例えば、強度及び耐食性の高いステンレス鋼等で作られている。第１支持体１０１及び第２支持体１０２に取り付けられた保護部材１０３は、水素含有水生成用電極１０を保護するため、ある程度の強度を有している。このため、保護部材１０３は、第１支持体１０１及び第２支持体１０２とともに水素含有水生成装置１００の強度を確保するための構造部材としての機能も有する。 The protective member 103 is provided outside the hydrogen-containing water generating electrode 10 to protect it. Further, the protection member 103 is put into the raw water W when the hydrogen-containing water generating apparatus 100 is used, and comes into contact with the raw water W. For this reason, the protection member 103 is made of, for example, stainless steel having high strength and corrosion resistance. The protection member 103 attached to the first support body 101 and the second support body 102 has a certain degree of strength in order to protect the hydrogen-containing water generation electrode 10. For this reason, the protection member 103 also has a function as a structural member for ensuring the strength of the hydrogen-containing water generating apparatus 100 together with the first support body 101 and the second support body 102.
　図２７、図２８に示すように、第１支持体１０１は、正極１１の側部で囲まれる空間とつながる開口部としての第１開口部１０１Ｈを有する。図２７、図２９に示すように、第２支持体１０２は、正極１１の側部で囲まれる空間とつながる開口部としての第２開口部１０２Ｈを有する。第１開口部１０１Ｈ及び第２開口部１０２Ｈは、水素含有水生成用電極１０の正極１１の内部と外部とをつないでおり、正極１１側で生成された酸素の気泡の通路となる。正極１１の側部で囲まれる空間とつながる開口部は、第１支持体１０１及び第２支持体１０２の少なくとも一方が有していればよい。 27 and 28, the first support 101 has a first opening 101H as an opening connected to a space surrounded by the side of the positive electrode 11. As shown in FIGS. 27 and 29, the second support 102 has a second opening 102 </ b> H as an opening connected to the space surrounded by the side of the positive electrode 11. The first opening 101H and the second opening 102H connect the inside and the outside of the positive electrode 11 of the hydrogen-containing water generating electrode 10, and serve as a passage for oxygen bubbles generated on the positive electrode 11 side. It is sufficient that at least one of the first support body 101 and the second support body 102 has an opening connected to the space surrounded by the side of the positive electrode 11.
　このように、第２支持体側高さｈ２を第１支持体側高さｈ１よりも大きくすることにより、水素含有水生成用電極１０は、第１支持体１０１から第２支持体１０２に向かうにしたがって設置対象ＦＬからの距離が大きくなるように、設置対象ＦＬの接地面に対して傾斜することになる。水素含有水生成用電極１０の正極１１は筒状であり、中心軸Ｚｔと平行な方向において、中心軸Ｚｔと直交する断面の形状は一定である。このため、正極１１、特に第１の設置部１０１Ｃ及び第２の設置部１０２Ｃからより離れた方の正極１１の内側（正極上部内側）は、第１支持体１０１から第２支持体１０２に向かうにしたがって設置対象ＦＬからの距離が大きくなるように傾斜している。 In this way, by making the second support side height h2 larger than the first support side height h1, the hydrogen-containing water generating electrode 10 moves from the first support 101 toward the second support 102. It inclines with respect to the grounding surface of installation object FL so that the distance from installation object FL may become large. The positive electrode 11 of the hydrogen-containing water generating electrode 10 has a cylindrical shape, and the cross-sectional shape orthogonal to the central axis Zt is constant in the direction parallel to the central axis Zt. For this reason, the inner side of the positive electrode 11, in particular, the positive electrode 11 that is further away from the first installation part 101 </ b> C and the second installation part 102 </ b> C, is directed from the first support body 101 to the second support body 102. Accordingly, the distance from the installation target FL is increased.
　水素含有水生成装置１００は、正極１１及び正極１１の正極上部内側を、前述したように傾斜させることによって、正極１１側に発生した酸素の気泡は正極１１の正極上部側に集まる。そして、酸素の気泡は、浮力の影響によって正極上部内側に沿って第２支持体１０２の第２開口部１０２Ｈに向かって移動して、水素含有水生成装置１００の外部、より具体的には水素含有水生成用電極１０の外部に放出される。このように、水素含有水生成装置１００は、正極１１を第２開口部１０２Ｈに向かうにしたがって設置対象ＦＬの接地面から離れるように傾斜させるので、酸素の気泡の浮力を利用して、正極１１内の酸素の気泡を効率よく、かつ速やかに第２開口部１０２Ｈから外部に放出することができる。このため、水素含有水生成装置１００は、水素含有水生成用電極１０への通水がない場合でも、正極１１内の酸素の気泡を外部へ放出することができる。 The hydrogen-containing water generating apparatus 100 tilts the positive electrode 11 and the inside of the positive electrode upper portion of the positive electrode 11 as described above, whereby oxygen bubbles generated on the positive electrode 11 side gather on the positive electrode upper side of the positive electrode 11. The oxygen bubbles move toward the second opening 102H of the second support 102 along the inside of the upper portion of the positive electrode due to the influence of buoyancy, and more specifically, outside the hydrogen-containing water generating apparatus 100, more specifically, hydrogen. It is discharged to the outside of the electrode 10 for containing water. As described above, the hydrogen-containing water generating apparatus 100 tilts the positive electrode 11 away from the grounding surface of the installation target FL toward the second opening 102H. Therefore, the positive electrode 11 is utilized using the buoyancy of oxygen bubbles. The oxygen bubbles in the inside can be efficiently and quickly discharged to the outside from the second opening 102H. For this reason, the hydrogen-containing water generating apparatus 100 can discharge oxygen bubbles in the positive electrode 11 to the outside even when there is no water flow to the hydrogen-containing water generating electrode 10.
　水素含有水生成用電極１０の設置対象ＦＬの接地面とのなす角度（傾斜角度）をθとする。本実施形態において、傾斜角度θは、便宜上、設置対象ＦＬの接地面と平行な仮想の接地面ＦＬｖと水素含有水生成用電極１０の中心軸Ｚｔとのなす角度としている。傾斜角度θは、酸素の気泡を効率よく水素含有水生成用電極１０の外部に放出させる観点からは０．５度以上が好ましく、より好ましくは１度以上、さらには１．５度以上が好適である。傾斜角度θがこの範囲であれば、水素含有水生装置１００は、水素含有水生成用電極１０内の気泡を効率よく、かつ速やかに放出することができる。 The angle (inclination angle) formed with the ground plane of the installation target FL of the hydrogen-containing water generating electrode 10 is θ. In the present embodiment, the inclination angle θ is, for convenience, an angle formed between a virtual ground plane FLv parallel to the ground plane of the installation target FL and the central axis Zt of the hydrogen-containing water generating electrode 10. The inclination angle θ is preferably 0.5 degrees or more, more preferably 1 degree or more, and further preferably 1.5 degrees or more from the viewpoint of efficiently releasing oxygen bubbles to the outside of the hydrogen-containing water generating electrode 10. It is. If the inclination angle θ is within this range, the hydrogen-containing aquatic apparatus 100 can efficiently and quickly release bubbles in the hydrogen-containing water generating electrode 10.
　傾斜角度θを大きくすると、正極１１で発生した酸素の気泡が合体して十分な大きさとなる前に原水中へ放出される。その結果、傾斜角度θが大きいと、原水中に溶存する酸素の量が増加する傾向にある。原水中に溶存する酸素の量を抑制するという観点からは５度以下が好ましく、より好ましくは４度以下、さらには３度以下が好適である。傾斜角度θがこの範囲であれば、水素含有水生成装置１００は、原水中に溶存する酸素の量を抑制することができる。また、傾斜角度θがこの範囲であれば、水素含有水生成装置１００の高さ、具体的には図２７に示す第２支持体１０２の高さＨ２が無闇に増加することを抑制して、水素含有水生成装置１００をコンパクトにすることができる。傾斜角度θは、０．５度以上５度以下が好ましく、より好ましくは１度以上４度以下、さらには１．５度以上３度以下が好適である。本実施形態において、傾斜角度θは、２度としている。 When the inclination angle θ is increased, the oxygen bubbles generated at the positive electrode 11 are combined and released into the raw water before becoming sufficiently large. As a result, when the inclination angle θ is large, the amount of oxygen dissolved in the raw water tends to increase. From the viewpoint of suppressing the amount of oxygen dissolved in the raw water, it is preferably 5 degrees or less, more preferably 4 degrees or less, and further preferably 3 degrees or less. If the inclination angle θ is within this range, the hydrogen-containing water generator 100 can suppress the amount of oxygen dissolved in the raw water. Further, if the inclination angle θ is within this range, the height of the hydrogen-containing water generating apparatus 100, specifically, the height H2 of the second support 102 shown in FIG. The hydrogen-containing water generating apparatus 100 can be made compact. The inclination angle θ is preferably 0.5 degrees or more and 5 degrees or less, more preferably 1 degree or more and 4 degrees or less, and further preferably 1.5 degrees or more and 3 degrees or less. In the present embodiment, the inclination angle θ is 2 degrees.
　水素含有水生成装置１００は、第１支持体１０１に第１開口部１０１Ｈを備え、第２支持体１０２に第２開口部１０２Ｈを備えている。このため、第１開口部１０１Ｈ及び第２開口部１０２Ｈの少なくとも一方から水素含有水生成用電極１０を洗浄することができる。例えば、第１開口部１０１Ｈからホース等で洗浄水を水素含有水生成用電極１０に噴射してこれを洗浄したり、第１開口部１０１Ｈからブラシ等を差し込んで、水素含有水生成用電極１０、特に正極１１の汚れを除去したりすることができる。このように、水素含有水生成装置１００は、第１開口部１０１Ｈ及び第２開口部１０２Ｈを備えるので、水素含有水生成用電極１０を洗浄する際の作業を容易にすることができる。水素含有水生成用電極１０は、水による洗浄の他、例えば、洗浄液（例えばクエン酸の水溶液）に水素含有水生成装置１００ごと、所定時間浸漬させることにより正極１１及び負極１２の表面に析出したミネラル分を除去する。このように、水素含有水生成用電極１０は、洗浄に用いる水又は洗浄液を、原水Ｗと分離して供給する必要はないので、簡易な構造とすることができる。なお、水素含有水生成装置１００は、第１開口部１０１Ｈ及び第２開口部１０２Ｈの少なくとも一方を有していれば、前述した作用及び効果を得ることができる。次に、保護部材１０３の開口１０３Ｈと負極１２の開口１２Ｈとの関係を説明する。 In the hydrogen-containing water generating apparatus 100, the first support 101 includes a first opening 101H, and the second support 102 includes a second opening 102H. For this reason, the hydrogen-containing water generating electrode 10 can be cleaned from at least one of the first opening 101H and the second opening 102H. For example, cleaning water is sprayed from the first opening 101H to the hydrogen-containing water generating electrode 10 with a hose or the like, or is washed, or a brush or the like is inserted from the first opening 101H, thereby generating the hydrogen-containing water generating electrode 10. In particular, the contamination of the positive electrode 11 can be removed. Thus, since the hydrogen-containing water production | generation apparatus 100 is provided with the 1st opening part 101H and the 2nd opening part 102H, the operation | work at the time of wash | cleaning the electrode 10 for hydrogen-containing water production | generation can be made easy. In addition to cleaning with water, the hydrogen-containing water generating electrode 10 is deposited on the surfaces of the positive electrode 11 and the negative electrode 12 by immersing the hydrogen-containing water generating device 100 together with, for example, a cleaning solution (for example, an aqueous solution of citric acid) for a predetermined time. Remove minerals. As described above, the hydrogen-containing water generating electrode 10 does not need to supply water or a cleaning liquid used for cleaning separately from the raw water W, and thus can have a simple structure. In addition, as long as the hydrogen-containing water production | generation apparatus 100 has at least one of the 1st opening part 101H and the 2nd opening part 102H, the effect | action and effect which were mentioned above can be acquired. Next, the relationship between the opening 103H of the protective member 103 and the opening 12H of the negative electrode 12 will be described.
　本実施形態において、図３０に示すように、保護部材１０３の開口１０３Ｈの形状は、直径がＤの円形である。保護部材１０３の開口１０３Ｈは、負極１２の開口１２Ｈよりも大きい。具体的には、開口１０３Ｈの面積は、π×Ｄ２／４であり、開口１２Ｈの面積はＬｌ×Ｌｓ／２なので、π×Ｄ２／４＞Ｌｌ×Ｌｓ／２である。このようにすることで、負極１２側で発生した水素の気泡を、保護部材１０３の開口１０３Ｈを効率よく通過させて、原水Ｗに水素の気泡を効率よく溶存させることができる。保護部材１０３の開口１０３Ｈの形状を円形とすることにより、開口１０３Ｈを容易に製造することができる。 In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 30, the shape of the opening 103 </ b> H of the protection member 103 is a circle having a diameter of D. The opening 103 </ b> H of the protection member 103 is larger than the opening 12 </ b> H of the negative electrode 12. Specifically, the area of the opening 103H is π × D 2/4, the area of the opening 12H is because Ll × Ls / 2, a π × D 2/4> Ll × Ls / 2. By doing so, hydrogen bubbles generated on the negative electrode 12 side can be efficiently passed through the opening 103H of the protective member 103, and the hydrogen bubbles can be efficiently dissolved in the raw water W. By making the shape of the opening 103H of the protective member 103 circular, the opening 103H can be easily manufactured.
　図３１は、本実施形態に係る水素含有水生成装置の他の使用態様を示す図である。水素含有水生成装置１００は、第２支持体１０２の第２開口部１０２Ｈ側を設置対象ＦＬに向けて設置してもよい。あるいは、水素含有水生成装置１００は、第１支持体１０１の第１開口部１０１Ｈ側を設置対象ＦＬに向けて設置してもよい。このようにすると、水素含有水生成用電極１０の中心軸Ｚｔは、設置対象ＦＬの接地面と直交するようになる。設置対象ＦＬとは反対側に配置されている第１支持体１０１の第１開口部１０１Ｈから、水素含有水生成用電極１０の正極１１側で発生した酸素の気泡が原水Ｗ中に放出される。第１支持体１０１の第１開口部１０１Ｈ側を設置対象ＦＬに向けて設置した場合、第２支持体１０２の第２開口部１０２Ｈから、水素含有水生成用電極１０の正極１１側で発生した酸素の気泡が原水Ｗ中に放出される。 FIG. 31 is a diagram showing another usage mode of the hydrogen-containing water generating apparatus according to the present embodiment. The hydrogen-containing water generating apparatus 100 may be installed with the second opening 102H side of the second support 102 facing the installation target FL. Alternatively, the hydrogen-containing water generating apparatus 100 may be installed with the first opening 101H side of the first support 101 facing the installation target FL. In this way, the central axis Zt of the hydrogen-containing water generating electrode 10 comes to be orthogonal to the ground plane of the installation target FL. Oxygen bubbles generated on the positive electrode 11 side of the hydrogen-containing water generating electrode 10 are released into the raw water W from the first opening 101H of the first support 101 disposed on the side opposite to the installation target FL. . When the first opening 101H side of the first support 101 is installed toward the installation target FL, the first support 101 is generated from the second opening 102H of the second support 102 on the positive electrode 11 side of the hydrogen-containing water generating electrode 10. Oxygen bubbles are released into the raw water W.
　水素含有水生成用電極１０の負極１２側で発生した水素の気泡は、負極１２の全周から原水Ｗ中に放出され、保護部材１０３の開口１０３Ｈを通過していく。このように、水素含有水生成装置１００は、第１支持体１０１及び第２支持体１０２の両方が設置対象ＦＬに設置されてもよいし、第２支持体１０２のみが設置対象ＦＬに設置されてもよい。このため、水素含有水生成装置１００は、使用する環境に応じて異なる態様で使用されることが可能である。 Hydrogen bubbles generated on the negative electrode 12 side of the hydrogen-containing water generating electrode 10 are discharged from the entire circumference of the negative electrode 12 into the raw water W and pass through the opening 103H of the protective member 103. Thus, in the hydrogen-containing water generating apparatus 100, both the first support 101 and the second support 102 may be installed on the installation target FL, or only the second support 102 is installed on the installation target FL. May be. For this reason, the hydrogen-containing water production | generation apparatus 100 can be used in a different aspect according to the environment to be used.
　水素含有水生成装置１００は、第１支持体１０１と第２支持体１０２とで、面積がより大きい方を設置対象ＦＬに向けて設置することが好ましい。このようにすれば、水素含有水生成装置１００を安定して設置することができる。 It is preferable that the hydrogen-containing water generating apparatus 100 is installed with the larger area of the first support body 101 and the second support body 102 facing the installation target FL. If it does in this way, hydrogen content water generating device 100 can be installed stably.

The first support 101a of the hydrogen-containing water generator 100a shown in FIG. The mounting seat 101Ba does not have the cylindrical member 101IW that the mounting seat 101B shown in FIG. 32 has.

　配線２５は、コネクタ２７を介して電源２０に接続される。電源２０は、例えば、二次電池であり、本実施形態では鉛蓄電池である。電源２０は、コントロールパネル２１を有している。コントロールパネル２１は、制御装置（例えば、マイクロコンピュータ）２１Ｃと、電源スイッチ２２と、表示装置２３とを含む。表示装置２３は、例えば、単数若しくは複数の発光ダイオード又は液晶表示パネル等である。電源２０は、充電用のＡＣ（Alternative　Current）アダプタ２４が接続可能である。電源スイッチ２２がＯＮにされると、電源２０から水素含有水生成用電極１０に電力が印加され、水素含有水生成用電極１０は、原水Ｗを電気分解して水素含有水を生成する。本実施形態において、制御装置２１Ｃは、電源スイッチ２２がＯＮにされてから所定の時間（例えば、１０分から２０分程度）経過すると、自動的に電力の供給を停止する。このようにすることで、特に、水素含有水生成装置１００を浴槽に投入して水素を含有した温水を生成する場合、入浴が終了した後まで電力が供給し続けられることを回避できるので、電源２０の電力消費を抑制することができる。 The wiring 25 is connected to the power source 20 via the connector 27. The power source 20 is, for example, a secondary battery, and is a lead storage battery in the present embodiment. The power supply 20 has a control panel 21. The control panel 21 includes a control device (for example, a microcomputer) 21 </ b> C, a power switch 22, and a display device 23. The display device 23 is, for example, a single or a plurality of light emitting diodes or a liquid crystal display panel. The power source 20 can be connected to an AC (Alternative Current) adapter 24 for charging. When the power switch 22 is turned on, power is applied from the power source 20 to the hydrogen-containing water generating electrode 10, and the hydrogen-containing water generating electrode 10 electrolyzes the raw water W to generate hydrogen-containing water. In the present embodiment, the control device 21C automatically stops supplying power when a predetermined time (for example, about 10 to 20 minutes) has elapsed since the power switch 22 was turned on. By doing in this way, especially when throwing the hydrogen-containing water generating apparatus 100 into the bathtub to generate hot water containing hydrogen, it is possible to avoid the continued supply of power until after the bathing is completed. 20 power consumption can be suppressed.
　ＡＣアダプタ２４は、交流を直流に変換して、電源２０を充電する。本実施形態において、水素含有水生成装置１００は、電源２０から供給される直流電力によって水素含有水を生成するが、例えば、ＡＣアダプタ２４から供給される直流電力によって水素含有水を生成することもできる。この場合、例えば、制御装置２１Ｃは、水素含有水生成用電極１０への電力の供給を、電源２０又はＡＣアダプタ２４に切り替える。 The AC adapter 24 converts AC to DC and charges the power supply 20. In the present embodiment, the hydrogen-containing water generating apparatus 100 generates hydrogen-containing water by using DC power supplied from the power supply 20, but for example, the hydrogen-containing water can be generated by using DC power supplied from the AC adapter 24. it can. In this case, for example, the control device 21 </ b> C switches the power supply to the hydrogen-containing water generating electrode 10 to the power source 20 or the AC adapter 24.
　表示装置２３は、電源２０を充電するタイミング、水素含有水生成用電極１０を洗浄したりメンテナンスしたりするタイミング等を表示する。制御装置２０Ｃは、充電のタイミングになった場合、例えば、表示装置２３が有する充電報知用のランプを点滅させたり、洗浄のタイミングになった場合、例えば、表示装置２３が有する洗浄報知用のランプを点滅させたりする。このようにすることで、水素含有水生成装置１００の使用者は、充電又は洗浄のタイミングを把握することができる。 The display device 23 displays the timing of charging the power supply 20, the timing of cleaning or maintaining the hydrogen-containing water generating electrode 10, and the like. The control device 20C, for example, blinks the charging notification lamp included in the display device 23 when the charging timing comes, or the cleaning notification lamp included in the display device 23 when the cleaning timing comes, for example. Or blink. By doing in this way, the user of hydrogen content water generating device 100 can grasp the timing of charge or washing.
　制御装置２１Ｃは、電源２０から配線２５に接続しているコネクタ２７が引き抜かれた場合又は水素含有水生成装置１００が原水Ｗから引き上げられた場合等には、電源２０からの電力の出力を停止、すなわち、電源スイッチ２２がＯＦＦにされた状態とする。例えば、制御装置２１Ｃは、水素含有水生成用電極１０に流れる電流が所定の値以下又は０になった場合、電源２０からの電力の出力を停止する。水素含有水生成用電極１０が水中から引き上げられると、正極１１と負極１２との間に原水Ｗが存在しなくなる結果、水素含有水生成用電極１０に流れる電流が所定の値以下又は０になるからである。また、コネクタ２７が電源２０から引き抜かれると、配線２５を介して水素含有水生成用電極１０に電流が流れなくなるからである。制御装置２１Ｃは、前述したように電源２０の電力の出力を制御することで、安全性を向上させることができる。 The control device 21C stops the output of power from the power source 20 when the connector 27 connected to the wiring 25 is pulled out from the power source 20 or when the hydrogen-containing water generating device 100 is pulled up from the raw water W. That is, the power switch 22 is turned off. For example, the control device 21 </ b> C stops the output of power from the power supply 20 when the current flowing through the hydrogen-containing water generation electrode 10 becomes a predetermined value or less or 0. When the hydrogen-containing water generating electrode 10 is pulled up from the water, the raw water W does not exist between the positive electrode 11 and the negative electrode 12, and as a result, the current flowing through the hydrogen-containing water generating electrode 10 becomes a predetermined value or less or zero. Because. Further, when the connector 27 is pulled out from the power source 20, no current flows through the wiring 25 to the hydrogen-containing water generating electrode 10. The control device 21C can improve the safety by controlling the output of the power of the power source 20 as described above.
　本実施形態では、ＡＣアダプタ２４を電源２０に接続して充電したが、電源２０の充電は、このような態様に限定されるものではない。例えば、電磁誘導を利用した非接触式の充電方式によって電源２０を充電してもよい。このようにすることで、電源２０及び充電装置の防水を確保しやすくなる。次に、水素含有水生成装置１００の変形例を説明する。 In this embodiment, the AC adapter 24 is connected to the power source 20 for charging, but the charging of the power source 20 is not limited to such a mode. For example, the power source 20 may be charged by a non-contact charging method using electromagnetic induction. By doing in this way, it becomes easy to ensure the waterproof of the power supply 20 and a charging device. Next, a modified example of the hydrogen-containing water generating apparatus 100 will be described.
（変形例）
　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。 (Modification)
FIG. 35 to FIG. 37 are diagrams showing modifications of the hydrogen-containing water generating device according to the present embodiment. In use, the hydrogen-containing water generating apparatus 100b takes out the foldable retractable leg 104 from the second support 102b and installs it on the installation target FL. For example, as shown in FIG. 36, the leg 104 is a rod-like member that rotates around a rotation axis Zr provided on the installation target FL side of the second support 102b. One leg 104 is disposed on each side of the second support 102b in the width direction. When the hydrogen-containing water generating apparatus 100b is not used, the leg 104 is stored in the storage unit 106 provided on the installation target FL side of the second support 102b. When using the hydrogen-containing water generating apparatus 100b, the leg portion 104 is pulled out from the storage portion 106 and rotates about the rotation axis Zr. Then, the end 104S opposite to the rotation axis Zr is in contact with the installation target FL.
　このようにすることで、水素含有水生成装置１００ｂは、図３７に示すように、第１支持体１０１の第１の設置部１０１Ｃと、脚部１０４の端部１０４Ｓとで設置対象ＦＬに設置される。第２支持体１０２ｂは、脚部１０４によって第１支持体１０１よりも設置対象ＦＬから離れることになる。このため、水素含有水生成装置１００ｂの水素含有水生成用電極１０は、設置対象ＦＬの接地面に対して、第１支持体１０１から第２支持体１０２ｂに向かうにしたがって設置対象ＦＬから離れるように傾斜する。このとき、水素含有水生成用電極１０の中心軸Ｚｔと、設置対象ＦＬ（本例では仮想の接地面ＦＬｖ）とのなす角度が前述した傾斜角度θである。 By doing in this way, as shown in FIG. 37, the hydrogen containing water production | generation apparatus 100b is installed in installation object FL by the 1st installation part 101C of the 1st support body 101, and the edge part 104S of the leg part 104. As shown in FIG. Is done. The second support body 102 b is further away from the installation target FL than the first support body 101 by the leg portion 104. For this reason, the hydrogen-containing water generating electrode 10 of the hydrogen-containing water generating apparatus 100b is separated from the installation target FL toward the second support 102b from the first support 101 with respect to the ground surface of the installation target FL. Inclined to. At this time, the angle formed by the central axis Zt of the hydrogen-containing water generating electrode 10 and the installation target FL (the virtual ground plane FLv in this example) is the inclination angle θ described above.
　水素含有水生成装置１００ｂは、第２支持体１０２に収納式の脚部１０４を備える。このため、第２支持体１０２ｂ及び第１支持体１０１を同一の形状とすることができるので、部品の共通化を図ることが可能である。また、第２支持体１０２は、使用時に脚部１０４を引き出せばよいので、第１支持体１０１と同等の寸法にすることができる。このため、第２支持体１０２ｂをコンパクトにできるので、結果として水素含有水生成装置１００ｂをコンパクトにすることができる。 The hydrogen-containing water generating apparatus 100 b includes a retractable leg 104 on the second support 102. For this reason, since the 2nd support body 102b and the 1st support body 101 can be made into the same shape, it is possible to aim at commonization of components. Further, since the second support 102 only has to be pulled out from the leg 104 during use, the second support 102 can have the same dimensions as the first support 101. For this reason, since the 2nd support body 102b can be made compact, the hydrogen-containing water production | generation apparatus 100b can be made compact as a result.
