 上記の従来の技術においては、水道水等の水を、水圧を利用して強制的に水質改善材(フィルター又はカートリッジ)を通過させる方式が用いられている。この場合、十分な水質改善時間が得られないまま、水が水質改善材中を通過してしまう懸念がある。場合によっては、水質改善材中に特定の水路ができてしまい、その水路のみを水が通過して、水質改善効果が極端に落ちてしまう事があった。 In the above-described conventional technology, a system is used in which water such as tap water is forced to pass through a water quality improving material (filter or cartridge) using water pressure. In this case, there is a concern that water may pass through the water quality improving material without obtaining sufficient water quality improvement time. In some cases, a specific water channel is formed in the water quality improving material, and water passes only through the water channel, and the water quality improving effect is extremely reduced.

 上記従来の飲料水供給装置において、水質改善材によって良好に水質の改善を図るために、原水が水質改善材に接する時間を十分に確保することが要請されていた。しかしながら、水道水、或いはポンプ等でくみ上げる方式の加圧水の場合においては、原水が水質改善材に接する時間の期待値に対し、実際には圧力に応じて現実値(原水が水質改善材に実際に接する時間)が異なることがあった。 In the above-described conventional drinking water supply apparatus, in order to improve the water quality satisfactorily with the water quality improving material, it has been required to ensure sufficient time for the raw water to contact the water quality improving material. However, in the case of pressurized water pumped up with tap water or a pump, etc., the actual value (raw water is actually used as a water quality improvement material) is actually compared to the expected value of the time when the raw water is in contact with the water quality improvement material. The contact time) was sometimes different.
 十分な水質改善を図ることが可能な飲料水供給装置を提供することが望ましい。 It is desirable to provide a drinking water supply device capable of sufficiently improving water quality.
 本開示の一局面の飲料水供給装置は、加圧水を原水として取り入れる原水取入れユニットと、原水取入れユニットの下流に設けられ、水質改善材を含む水質改善ユニットと、原水取入れユニットから供給される原水の通水量を制御して、水質改善ユニットの導入部における適正水位を維持する維持ユニットと、水質改善ユニットの下流に設けられ、水質改善後の水を貯留する貯留ユニットと、貯留ユニットに貯留された水を供給する給水ユニットと、導入部の上部空間及び貯留ユニットの上部空間を大気に連通させる大気連通部と、を備える。 A drinking water supply device according to an aspect of the present disclosure includes a raw water intake unit that takes pressurized water as raw water, a water quality improvement unit that is provided downstream of the raw water intake unit and includes a water quality improving material, and raw water supplied from the raw water intake unit A maintenance unit that controls the amount of water flow to maintain an appropriate water level in the introduction part of the water quality improvement unit, a storage unit that is provided downstream of the water quality improvement unit, stores water after the water quality improvement, and is stored in the storage unit A water supply unit that supplies water, and an air communication unit that communicates the upper space of the introduction unit and the upper space of the storage unit to the atmosphere.
 この飲料水供給装置によれば、大気連通部が設けられていることにより、水質改善材の上部に作用する圧力は、大気圧と、維持ユニットによって維持される導入部の水位に応じて定まる所定の水圧と、に応じた圧力となる。例えば、適正水位を、水質改善材の上端近くに設定しておくと、水質改善材の上部に作用する圧力は、ほぼ大気圧に応じた圧力となる(大気圧に近い圧力となる)。 According to this drinking water supply device, since the air communication part is provided, the pressure acting on the upper part of the water quality improving material is determined according to the atmospheric pressure and the water level of the introduction part maintained by the maintenance unit. It becomes the pressure according to the water pressure. For example, if the appropriate water level is set near the upper end of the water quality improving material, the pressure acting on the upper portion of the water quality improving material becomes a pressure corresponding to the atmospheric pressure (a pressure close to the atmospheric pressure).
 また、給水ユニットを開放した際、水は水質改善ユニットの下流側にある貯留ユニットから供給されるが、貯留ユニットも大気と連通している。このため、給水の際にも、水質改善ユニットには不要な圧力は作用しない。換言すれば、水質改善ユニットには大気圧レベルの圧力が作用するにとどまる。 Also, when the water supply unit is opened, water is supplied from the storage unit downstream of the water quality improvement unit, but the storage unit is also in communication with the atmosphere. For this reason, unnecessary pressure does not act on the water quality improvement unit even during water supply. In other words, the atmospheric pressure level only acts on the water quality improvement unit.
 本開示の飲料水供給装置によれば、水質改善材の上部(上流側)に大きな圧力(不要に過度な圧力)が作用することを回避し得る。また、水質改善材の下部(下流側)が大きな圧力で吸引されることも回避し得る。 According to the drinking water supply device of the present disclosure, it is possible to avoid a large pressure (unnecessarily excessive pressure) from acting on the upper portion (upstream side) of the water quality improving material. Moreover, it can also avoid that the lower part (downstream side) of a water quality improvement material is attracted | sucked with a big pressure.
 これにより、水質改善材において、水は自身の自重に応じた速度で流れ、自重に応じた速度以上の速度で流れることがない。
 また、水質改善材の上部に大きな圧力が作用することを回避することで、水質改善材中に意図しない特定の水路が形成されてしまうことを回避できる。これにより、水がその特定の水路のみを通過してしまって極端に水質改善効果が落ちてしまう、という問題が生じることを回避し得る。
Thereby, in the water quality improving material, water flows at a speed according to its own weight, and does not flow at a speed higher than the speed according to its own weight.
Moreover, it can avoid that the specific water channel which is not intended in the water quality improvement material will be formed by avoiding that a big pressure acts on the upper part of a water quality improvement material. Thereby, it can avoid that the problem that water passes only the specific water channel and the water quality improvement effect falls extremely will arise.
 本開示の飲料水供給装置によれば、水質改善材において水が自重に応じた速度で流れ、不要に大きい速度で流れないため、十分な水質改善時間を確保することができる。よって、十分に水質改善された飲料水が常時得られ得る。 According to the drinking water supply device of the present disclosure, water flows at a speed corresponding to its own weight in the water quality improving material and does not flow at an unnecessarily large speed, so that sufficient water quality improvement time can be secured. Therefore, drinking water with sufficiently improved water quality can always be obtained.
 また、本開示の飲料水供給装置では、維持ユニットは、導入部における水位を検知する検知ユニットと、原水取入れユニットから供給される原水を受け入れて該原水の通水量を制御する通水制御ユニットと、通水制御ユニットが受け入れた原水を水質改善ユニットへ導く流路と、流路を開閉する流路開閉機構と、流路開閉機構の動作を制御する機構制御ユニットと、を備える。 In the drinking water supply device of the present disclosure, the maintenance unit includes a detection unit that detects a water level in the introduction unit, a water flow control unit that receives the raw water supplied from the raw water intake unit and controls the flow rate of the raw water. And a flow path for guiding the raw water received by the water flow control unit to the water quality improvement unit, a flow path opening / closing mechanism for opening / closing the flow path, and a mechanism control unit for controlling the operation of the flow path opening / closing mechanism.
 これによって、大気連通された導入部の水位を検出しながら通水量が制御できる。このため、常に正確な水位を検出及び維持することができる。例えば、圧力水であっても、流路を開閉する流路開閉機構を機構制御ユニットで制御するだけで、流路の通水量が調整できるので、水質改善ユニットの導入部の水位を安定かつ適正に維持することができる。 This makes it possible to control the amount of water flow while detecting the water level in the introduction section that is connected to the atmosphere. For this reason, an accurate water level can always be detected and maintained. For example, even in the case of pressure water, the flow rate of the flow path can be adjusted simply by controlling the flow path opening / closing mechanism that opens and closes the flow path with the mechanism control unit, so that the water level at the introduction part of the water quality improvement unit is stable and appropriate. Can be maintained.
 また、本開示の飲料水供給装置では、検知ユニットは、フロート部材と、リンク部材であって、一方の端にフロート部材が一体的に接続され、他方の端に、回転中心と、この回転中心近傍に位置する作用点と、が形成され、作用点が流路開閉機構を押圧し、又は流路開閉機構への押圧を解除するように構成されたリンク部材と、を有する。 Further, in the drinking water supply device of the present disclosure, the detection unit is a float member and a link member, and the float member is integrally connected to one end, and the rotation center and the rotation center are connected to the other end. And a link member configured to press the channel opening / closing mechanism or to release the pressing to the channel opening / closing mechanism.
 これによれば、フロート部材の浮力を大幅に増幅可能であり、流路開閉機構を、加圧水に対抗できる力が生じるよう動作させることができる。このため、流路開閉機構の確実な動作を実現できる。 According to this, the buoyancy of the float member can be greatly amplified, and the flow path opening / closing mechanism can be operated so as to generate a force capable of resisting pressurized water. For this reason, reliable operation | movement of a flow-path opening-and-closing mechanism is realizable.
 作用点の位置、フロート部材の形状、大きさ、又は全体の長さ等のパラメータを変更することで、流路開閉機構によって流路を閉鎖した際の閉鎖圧を自由に設定可能である。 ¡By changing parameters such as the position of the action point, the shape and size of the float member, or the overall length, the closing pressure when the channel is closed by the channel opening / closing mechanism can be set freely.
 本開示の飲料水供給装置によれば、例えば水道水等の加圧水が原水として飲料水供給装置に供給される場合、加圧水(原水)における圧力が除かれ、原水には大気圧が作用するのみとなる。これにより、水位を予め定めた任意の位置に安定させることができる。このため、安定かつ効果的な水質改善効果が得られる。 According to the drinking water supply device of the present disclosure, for example, when pressurized water such as tap water is supplied to the drinking water supply device as raw water, the pressure in the pressurized water (raw water) is removed, and only atmospheric pressure acts on the raw water. Become. Thereby, the water level can be stabilized at a predetermined position. For this reason, the stable and effective water quality improvement effect is acquired.

 次に、図3、図4A,4B及び図5A-5Cに従って、検知ユニットについて説明する。また、通水制御ユニットの一例としての通水制御ユニット110について説明する。
 通水制御ユニット110には、上部流路111aと、この上部流路111aより内径が若干大きい下部流路111bと、を含む流路111が形成されている。
Next, the detection unit will be described with reference to FIGS. 3, 4A, 4B, and 5A-5C. A water flow control unit 110 as an example of the water flow control unit will be described.
In the water flow control unit 110, a flow path 111 including an upper flow path 111a and a lower flow path 111b having a slightly larger inner diameter than the upper flow path 111a is formed.
 上部流路111aと下部流路111bとの間の段部111cには弁座112が配設されている。下部流路111bに配設された弁体113の弁部113aが弁座112に対して押圧又は離間するように構成されている。これにより流路111が開閉され得るようになっている。 A valve seat 112 is disposed in a step portion 111c between the upper flow path 111a and the lower flow path 111b. The valve portion 113a of the valve body 113 disposed in the lower flow path 111b is configured to be pressed or separated from the valve seat 112. As a result, the channel 111 can be opened and closed.
 弁体113は弁部113aとスライドガイド部113bとを含む。本実施形態では、開口部112aの径<弁部113aの径<スライドガイド部113bの径の関係が成り立っている。
 スライドガイド部113bの周囲には、溝部113c、113dが設けられている。弁部113aが弁座112から離間した際、上部流路111aから流入した水は下部流路111bを経て流路111の出口に放出され得る。
The valve body 113 includes a valve portion 113a and a slide guide portion 113b. In the present embodiment, the relationship of the diameter of the opening 112a <the diameter of the valve portion 113a <the diameter of the slide guide portion 113b is established.
Groove portions 113c and 113d are provided around the slide guide portion 113b. When the valve portion 113a is separated from the valve seat 112, the water flowing in from the upper channel 111a can be discharged to the outlet of the channel 111 via the lower channel 111b.
 弁部113aによる開口部112aの開閉動作は、次のように実現される。具体的には、板状アーム116の一方の端に浮力発生ユニットの一例であるフロート115を一体的に接続され、板状アーム116の他方の端には回転中心116aと作用点116bとが設けられている。作用点116bは回転中心116aの近傍に位置する。 The opening / closing operation of the opening 112a by the valve portion 113a is realized as follows. Specifically, a float 115, which is an example of a buoyancy generating unit, is integrally connected to one end of the plate arm 116, and a rotation center 116a and an action point 116b are provided on the other end of the plate arm 116. It has been. The action point 116b is located in the vicinity of the rotation center 116a.
 この板状アーム116によって、作用点116bにて、スライドガイド部113bを下から押圧し、又は、スライドガイド部113bへの押圧を解除することにより、開口部112aの開閉動作が実現され得る。板状アーム116は、リンク部材の一例である。 By this plate-like arm 116, the opening / closing operation of the opening 112a can be realized by pressing the slide guide portion 113b from below or releasing the pressure on the slide guide portion 113b at the action point 116b. The plate-like arm 116 is an example of a link member.
 下部流路111cの下側には、スリット111dが形成されている。弁体113のスライドガイド部113bの下側には、スリット113eが形成されている。
 板状アーム116における回転中心116aは、下部流路111cの横側のスリット111dの延長上に設けられた板111eの図示しない回転中心孔に回動可能に固定されている。
A slit 111d is formed below the lower channel 111c. A slit 113e is formed below the slide guide portion 113b of the valve body 113.
The rotation center 116a of the plate arm 116 is rotatably fixed to a rotation center hole (not shown) of the plate 111e provided on the extension of the slit 111d on the lateral side of the lower channel 111c.
 板状アーム116は、下部流路111cの下部のスリット111d及び弁体113のスライドガイド部113bのスリット113e内で管路の中央を横断し、横方向の動きを規制されるかたちでフロート115本体に繋がっている。フロート115の上昇時は、管路の中央を横断する板状アーム116が、作用点116bで弁体113を押し上げるように弁体113と接している(図4A)。 The plate-like arm 116 crosses the center of the pipe line in the slit 111d at the lower part of the lower flow path 111c and the slit 113e of the slide guide part 113b of the valve body 113, and the float 115 main body is controlled in the lateral direction. It is connected to. When the float 115 rises, the plate-like arm 116 crossing the center of the pipe line is in contact with the valve body 113 so as to push up the valve body 113 at the action point 116b (FIG. 4A).
 水位が基準水位Sより低くなり、フロート115が下方に動くと(反時計方向に動くと)、下部流路111bのスリット111dで管路の中央を横断する板状アーム116も反時計方向に動く。 When the water level becomes lower than the reference water level S and the float 115 moves downward (counterclockwise), the plate-like arm 116 that crosses the center of the pipeline at the slit 111d of the lower channel 111b also moves counterclockwise. .
 これによって、弁体113は下がる方向にスライドし、弁部113aは、弁座112の開口部112aから離間する方向に下がって、流路111が連通する。
 これによって、通水制御ユニット110の上部流路111aから加圧された原水を受け入れることができ、その原水は水質改善ユニットの導入部131に供給される。
As a result, the valve body 113 slides in the downward direction, the valve portion 113a drops in a direction away from the opening 112a of the valve seat 112, and the flow path 111 communicates.
Thus, the pressurized raw water can be received from the upper flow path 111a of the water flow control unit 110, and the raw water is supplied to the introduction part 131 of the water quality improvement unit.
 水質改善ユニットの導入部131に原水が供給されると、系の水位はLからSに上昇しフロート115も上昇する。
 フロート115が上昇して時計方向に動くと、通水制御ユニット110の下部流路111bのスリット111e内で管路の中央を横断する板状アーム116の作用点116bが、弁体113を押し上げる方向にスライドする。これにより、弁部113aが、通水制御ユニット110の流路111の段部111cに形成されたドーム状の弁座112の開口部に当接する方向に押し上げられる。
When raw water is supplied to the introduction unit 131 of the water quality improvement unit, the water level of the system rises from L to S and the float 115 also rises.
When the float 115 moves up and moves in the clockwise direction, the action point 116b of the plate-like arm 116 that crosses the center of the pipeline in the slit 111e of the lower flow path 111b of the water flow control unit 110 pushes up the valve body 113 Slide to. As a result, the valve portion 113a is pushed up in a direction in which the valve portion 113a contacts the opening of the dome-shaped valve seat 112 formed in the step portion 111c of the flow path 111 of the water flow control unit 110.
 これによって、流路111が閉鎖され、通水制御ユニット110の上部流路111aからの原水の供給が停止する。
 フロート位置が下がると流路開閉部材も下がり、原水の流路が形成され、フロート位置が上がると流路開閉部材が上がり水道水の流路が閉鎖される、という動作が常時連続的に行われることによって、概ね一定の貯蔵水位が維持され得る。
As a result, the channel 111 is closed and the supply of raw water from the upper channel 111a of the water flow control unit 110 is stopped.
When the float position is lowered, the flow path opening / closing member is also lowered to form a raw water flow path, and when the float position is raised, the flow path opening / closing member is raised and the tap water flow path is closed continuously. As a result, a substantially constant stored water level can be maintained.
 水質改善システムについて初期状態から説明する。
 通水制御ユニット110内の流路111の下部から供給される原水である被水質改善水121aは、水質改善ユニットの第一セクションである水質改善ユニットの導入部131に導入され、導入部131の底部に設置されたメッシュ132により第一回目の水質改善を受ける。
The water quality improvement system will be explained from the initial state.
Water quality improvement water 121a, which is raw water supplied from the lower part of the flow path 111 in the water flow control unit 110, is introduced into the introduction part 131 of the water quality improvement unit, which is the first section of the water quality improvement unit. Received the first water quality improvement by the mesh 132 installed at the bottom.
 さらに、被水質改善水121aは、水質改善ユニットの第二セクションである活性炭137で第二回目の水質改善を受ける。
 活性炭137は、粉末状、顆粒状、ペレット状、及び固形状のいずれの形態でもよい。活性炭137は、交換しやすいよう、図示しない透水性のパッケージで覆われ、筒状の活性炭収容部139に収納されている。活性炭収容部139の底面には、第一セクション同様、メッシュ157が設けられている。
Furthermore, the water quality improvement water 121a is subjected to the second water quality improvement by the activated carbon 137 which is the second section of the water quality improvement unit.
The activated carbon 137 may be in any form of powder, granule, pellet, and solid. The activated carbon 137 is covered with a water permeable package (not shown) so as to be easily exchanged, and is stored in a cylindrical activated carbon storage unit 139. Similar to the first section, a mesh 157 is provided on the bottom surface of the activated carbon housing 139.
 メッシュ132及び活性炭137によってゴミ及び微生物が吸着捕集されるとともに、脱臭が行われる。活性炭137の捕集対象物はカルキ、トリハロメタン、有機物、臭気物質、及び塩素系有機物等である。 The dust and microorganisms are adsorbed and collected by the mesh 132 and the activated carbon 137 and deodorized. The collection target of the activated carbon 137 includes chalk, trihalomethane, organic substances, odorous substances, and chlorinated organic substances.
 活性炭137としては、植物由来の天然繊維又は鉱物由来の合成繊維、或いは天然繊維と合成繊維との混合物を炭化してバインダを用いて調製した繊維状活性炭が好適である。活性炭137には、生物ミネラルを添加しても良い。生物ミネラルは、人体の体液に非常に近いバランスで鉱物成分(K,Ca,Na,Mg)を有する等張液として供給され得る。 As the activated carbon 137, a plant-derived natural fiber or a mineral-derived synthetic fiber, or a fibrous activated carbon prepared by carbonizing a mixture of natural fiber and synthetic fiber and using a binder is preferable. Biological minerals may be added to the activated carbon 137. Biological minerals can be supplied as isotonic solutions with mineral components (K, Ca, Na, Mg) in a balance very close to the body fluids of the human body.
 さらに、被水質改善水121aは、水質改善ユニットの第三セクションである中空糸膜141により、第三回目の水質改善を受ける。
 中空糸膜141は、中空糸が集積及び固着されて形成されている。中空糸の一端(中空糸膜141の一方の端部)は露出しており、中空糸の表面から吸収された水分子が、開放された他端(中空糸の他端)から放出されることにより、0.3ミクロン程度の細かさでのフィルタリングが可能となる。
Further, the water quality improvement water 121a is subjected to the third water quality improvement by the hollow fiber membrane 141 which is the third section of the water quality improvement unit.
The hollow fiber membrane 141 is formed by accumulating and fixing hollow fibers. One end of the hollow fiber (one end of the hollow fiber membrane 141) is exposed, and water molecules absorbed from the surface of the hollow fiber are released from the other open end (the other end of the hollow fiber). Therefore, filtering with a fineness of about 0.3 microns can be performed.
 本実施形態では、中空糸膜141が筒状のガイドケース142にセットされ、そのガイドケース142が第二セクションである活性炭137の下面側に設けられている。具体的には、ガイドケース142は、活性炭収容部139のネジ部138にネジ止め固定されている。 In this embodiment, the hollow fiber membrane 141 is set in a cylindrical guide case 142, and the guide case 142 is provided on the lower surface side of the activated carbon 137 that is the second section. Specifically, the guide case 142 is fixed to the screw part 138 of the activated carbon housing part 139 with screws.
 符号144で示される部分は、ガイドケース142の内ネジ部である。第三セクションである中空糸膜141では、被水質改善水121aは、中空糸膜141によって規定される透過速度で通過して下方へ落下し、中空糸膜141の下端部143から放出される。下端部143が、水質改善された水が自然落下して放出される部分である放出部(水質改善ユニットの放出部)となる。 A portion indicated by reference numeral 144 is an inner screw portion of the guide case 142. In the hollow fiber membrane 141 which is the third section, the water quality improving water 121a passes at a permeation speed defined by the hollow fiber membrane 141 and falls downward, and is discharged from the lower end portion 143 of the hollow fiber membrane 141. The lower end portion 143 becomes a discharge portion (a discharge portion of the water quality improvement unit) that is a portion from which water with improved water quality is naturally dropped and discharged.
 中空糸膜141としては、孔径が0.01~0.09μmで周壁部にスリット状の超微細孔が設けられた繊維の集合体が好適である。
 通水制御ユニット110内の流路111の下部から放出された水は、濾過容器130の導入部131に導入される。
As the hollow fiber membrane 141, an aggregate of fibers having a pore diameter of 0.01 to 0.09 μm and slit-like ultrafine holes provided in the peripheral wall portion is preferable.
The water released from the lower part of the flow path 111 in the water flow control unit 110 is introduced into the introduction part 131 of the filtration container 130.
 導入部131に導入された水に対し、水質改善システムにおいては水質改善材でのフィルタリングによる水流通抵抗がある。このため、水質改善システム内においては水が滞留しやすい傾向にある。例えば、「通水制御ユニット110内の流路111の下部からの流入量>>第三セクション141の中空糸膜透過量」といった関係が成り立ち得る。 In the water quality improvement system, the water introduced into the introduction part 131 has water flow resistance due to filtering with a water quality improvement material. For this reason, water tends to stay in the water quality improvement system. For example, the relationship “the amount of inflow from the lower part of the flow path 111 in the water flow control unit 110 >> the amount of permeation through the hollow fiber membrane of the third section 141” can be established.
 したがって、濾過容器130の導入部131は比較的早い時期から適正水位を維持する一方、貯留ユニット内の清浄水121bの水位は徐々に上昇し、最終的には導入部131と平衡状態となって(水質改善ユニットの一例としての濾過容器130の導入部131と貯留ユニットの一例としての貯留槽150の上部150とが同一水面となって)、通水制御ユニット110内の流路111が閉鎖され、加圧された原水の供給が停止される。 Therefore, while the introduction part 131 of the filtration container 130 maintains the appropriate water level from a relatively early time, the water level of the clean water 121b in the storage unit gradually rises and finally becomes in equilibrium with the introduction part 131. (The introduction part 131 of the filtration container 130 as an example of the water quality improvement unit and the upper part 150 of the storage tank 150 as an example of the storage unit have the same water surface), and the flow path 111 in the water flow control unit 110 is closed. The supply of pressurized raw water is stopped.
 濾過容器130の導入部131の基準水位は、通水制御ユニット110により流量制御動作が繰り返されることにより、常時、基準水位の前後で概ね一定の水位に維持される。
 水質改善後の清浄水121bは貯留ユニットの一例である貯留槽150及び冷却室155に導入され貯留される。
The reference water level of the inlet 131 of the filtration container 130 is constantly maintained at a substantially constant level before and after the reference water level by the flow control operation being repeated by the water flow control unit 110.
The purified water 121b after the water quality improvement is introduced and stored in a storage tank 150 and a cooling chamber 155 which are an example of a storage unit.
 ここで、貯留ユニットは、第二の大気連通部154により大気開放されている。また、貯留ユニットは、その一部が、仕切り板151により上下に二分された部屋を有する構成となっている。上部の部屋は貯留槽150であり、下部の部屋は冷却室155である。貯留ユニットの上部の貯留槽150、及び下部の冷却室155は、断熱及び固定の機能を兼ねる部材で覆われている。この部材は発泡スチロール等の断熱材で形成され得る。 Here, the storage unit is opened to the atmosphere by the second atmosphere communication unit 154. In addition, the storage unit has a structure in which a part of the storage unit is divided into two vertically by a partition plate 151. The upper room is a storage tank 150, and the lower room is a cooling room 155. The storage tank 150 in the upper part of the storage unit and the cooling chamber 155 in the lower part are covered with a member that also functions as heat insulation and fixation. This member may be formed of a heat insulating material such as polystyrene foam.
 清浄水121bによる液面位置152が、冷却室155の底部付近にあるが、徐々に、冷却室155の底部から液面位置152を上昇させていく。
 この第三セクション141から貯留槽150内の清浄水121bに落下している状態をパターン1(大気放出)と定義し、大気圧のみが作用する力関係で状態が決定される。
Although the liquid level position 152 due to the clean water 121b is near the bottom of the cooling chamber 155, the liquid level position 152 is gradually raised from the bottom of the cooling chamber 155.
The state of falling from the third section 141 to the clean water 121b in the storage tank 150 is defined as pattern 1 (atmospheric release), and the state is determined by a force relationship in which only atmospheric pressure acts.
 液面位置152が水質改善ユニットの下端を越えると、水質改善ユニットの出口側には、大気圧に加えて、超えた水位の水頭差分の圧力がかかる。
 さらに時間が経過して液面位置152が上昇し続け、上部の貯留槽150が清浄水121bで満たされて清浄水121bの水位が適正水位117まで上昇した時点で圧力が均衡し、下端部143からの清浄水121bの流出は停止する。
When the liquid level position 152 exceeds the lower end of the water quality improvement unit, a pressure corresponding to the water head difference of the excess water level is applied to the outlet side of the water quality improvement unit in addition to the atmospheric pressure.
Further, the liquid level position 152 continues to rise as time elapses, and when the upper storage tank 150 is filled with the clean water 121b and the water level of the clean water 121b rises to the appropriate water level 117, the pressure is balanced and the lower end 143 The outflow of clean water 121b from is stopped.
 第三セクション141から貯留槽150の清浄水121b中にさらなる清浄水121bが落下している状態をパターン2(水中放出)と定義する。
 貯留ユニットの下方には温水槽160が設けられている。清浄水121bを導入するための取入口156が仕切り板151近傍上部に形成され、冷却室155より上の液体を導入できるよう、供給管153が配置されている。供給管153の下端は温水槽160の下部161に接続されている。
A state in which further clean water 121b is falling from the third section 141 into the clean water 121b of the storage tank 150 is defined as pattern 2 (water release).
A hot water tank 160 is provided below the storage unit. An intake port 156 for introducing clean water 121b is formed in the upper vicinity of the partition plate 151, and a supply pipe 153 is arranged so that liquid above the cooling chamber 155 can be introduced. The lower end of the supply pipe 153 is connected to the lower part 161 of the hot water tank 160.
 温水槽160には、温水取り出し用に、温水槽160の上部162に接続される温水供給管163(一部図示しない)が設けられている。温水供給管163の一端は温水コック175に接続されている。 The hot water tank 160 is provided with a hot water supply pipe 163 (partially not shown) connected to the upper part 162 of the hot water tank 160 for hot water extraction. One end of the hot water supply pipe 163 is connected to the hot water cock 175.
 温水コック175が閉じられている状態では空気で満たされている温水槽160には清浄水121bはほとんど流入できない。
 温水コック175を開くと、貯留槽150の清浄水121bは、供給管153を通って温水槽160に流入し、温水槽160を満たす。
When the hot water cock 175 is closed, the clean water 121b hardly flows into the hot water tank 160 filled with air.
When the hot water cock 175 is opened, the clean water 121b in the storage tank 150 flows into the hot water tank 160 through the supply pipe 153 and fills the hot water tank 160.
 貯留槽150の適正水位117にあった液面位置152は、清浄水121bが温水槽160の容積分供給されることにより一時的に大幅に低下する。
 この場合、圧力の均衡がこわれ、再び開口部116から清浄水121bが流出し、前述のパターン1、パターン2に従って液面位置152が適正水位117に戻るまで継続する。
The liquid surface position 152 at the appropriate water level 117 of the storage tank 150 is temporarily lowered significantly by supplying the clean water 121b by the volume of the hot water tank 160.
In this case, the pressure balance is broken, and the clean water 121b flows out from the opening 116 again, and continues until the liquid surface position 152 returns to the appropriate water level 117 according to the above-described patterns 1 and 2.
 温水槽160には図示しない加熱ユニットがあり、図示しない加熱制御ユニットにより温水槽160の清浄水121bは所望の温度の温水になる。
 一方で、冷却室155に蓄積された清浄水121bは、本体下方に設置した冷凍機167からの冷媒伝達管を冷却室155の外周に巻き回して形成された冷却部169により冷却され、所望の温度の冷水になる。
The hot water tank 160 has a heating unit (not shown), and the clean water 121b in the hot water tank 160 becomes hot water having a desired temperature by a heating control unit (not shown).
On the other hand, the clean water 121b accumulated in the cooling chamber 155 is cooled by a cooling unit 169 formed by winding a refrigerant transmission pipe from a refrigerator 167 installed below the main body around the outer periphery of the cooling chamber 155, and has a desired shape. The temperature becomes cold water.
 冷凍機167は、冷却室155に取り付けられた図示しないセンサを用い、図示しない温度制御ユニットにより、清浄水121bの温度を制御する。
 冷水の取り出しについて説明する。冷却室155の底部と冷水コック170とが図示しない冷水供給管で接続されている。所望の温度で保存されている冷水を取り出すためには、冷水コック170を開く。
The refrigerator 167 uses a sensor (not shown) attached to the cooling chamber 155 and controls the temperature of the clean water 121b by a temperature control unit (not shown).
The extraction of cold water will be described. The bottom of the cooling chamber 155 and the cold water cock 170 are connected by a cold water supply pipe (not shown). In order to take out the cold water stored at a desired temperature, the cold water cock 170 is opened.
 冷水コック170を開くと、適正水位117と冷水コック170との水頭差により、冷却室155の底部から図示しない冷水排出管を通して冷却された清浄水121bが供給される。
 温水の取り出しについて説明する。温水供給管163(一部図示せず)が、温水槽160と温水コック175とを接続している。温水コック175を開くと、適正水位117と温水コック175との水頭差により、温水になった清浄水121bが排出される。
When the cold water cock 170 is opened, clean water 121b cooled through a cold water discharge pipe (not shown) is supplied from the bottom of the cooling chamber 155 due to a water head difference between the appropriate water level 117 and the cold water cock 170.
The removal of warm water will be described. A hot water supply pipe 163 (partially not shown) connects the hot water tank 160 and the hot water cock 175. When the hot water cock 175 is opened, clean water 121b that has become hot water is discharged due to the head difference between the appropriate water level 117 and the hot water cock 175.
 この時、取り出された温水と同量の清浄水121bが、供給管153を通して貯留槽150から温水槽160へ補填される。
 尚、温水槽160において供給管153を底部に配置し、温水供給管163を上部に配置した理由は、常温の清浄水121bを導入するため、熱対流を考慮して補填水は下部、取り出しは上部としている。
At this time, the same amount of clean water 121b as the hot water taken out is supplemented from the storage tank 150 to the hot water tank 160 through the supply pipe 153.
The reason why the supply pipe 153 is arranged at the bottom and the warm water supply pipe 163 is arranged at the top in the hot water tank 160 is to introduce clean water 121b at room temperature, so that the supplementary water is taken out at the bottom, taking into account thermal convection. At the top.

Further, as the detection unit, a water level sensor in which a magnetic buoyancy generating member having a float function having a specific gravity of 1 or less is combined with a reed switch may be employed.
Further, as the detection unit, an ultrasonic proximity sensor, an optical proximity sensor, or the like, or a direct detection sensor that directly detects the water surface may be adopted, and the mechanism control unit is electromechanical based on an electrical signal from these sensors. A simple channel opening / closing mechanism may be controlled.
 また、水圧によっては、原水供給ユニットに対しレギュレータを仲介させた場合の方が安定し得るため、レギュレータを仲介させる構成を採用しても良い。
 図6は、本開示の実施例における原水取入れユニットと、水質改善ユニットと、維持ユニット、と貯留ユニットと、において、原水を注水して適正水位まで清浄水が入って満水となる過程と、各ユニットの主要部品の動作及び状態と、を示す。
In addition, depending on the water pressure, it may be more stable when the regulator is mediated to the raw water supply unit. Therefore, a configuration in which the regulator is mediated may be adopted.
