Description

  The present invention relates to an electrolyzed water storage device.

  As the use form of the electrolyzed water, the form in which the electrolyzed water generated by the electrolyzed water generator is directly used and the electrolyzed water produced by the electrolyzed water generator are temporarily stored in a storage tank, and when necessary, There is a mode in which electrolytically generated water stored in a storage tank is extracted and used. When the latter usage mode is adopted, an electrolyzed water storage device including the storage tank is used, and in the storage tank, acidic water, alkaline water, and neutral water generated by the electrolyzed water generation device are used. Is always stored. When these electrolytically generated water is stored in the storage tank, the volatile components contained in these electrolytically generated water are volatilized and stay as gas in the upper space in the storage tank. For this reason, it is necessary to discharge | release the gas which stays in the upper space part in a storage tank outside.

  Moreover, when releasing the gas staying in the upper space in the storage tank, the influence on the surrounding environment caused by the gas to be released must be sufficiently considered. Each electrolyzed water contains a large amount of volatile chlorine component in strong acid electrolyzed acid water, and a considerable amount of volatile chlorine component in weakly acid electrolyzed acid water. However, the neutral electrolyzed water contains a slight amount of volatile chlorine component. Electrolytically generated alkaline water also contains a considerable amount of volatile components different from the chlorine component due to being generated simultaneously with the generation of electrolytically generated acidic water.

  In particular, in a storage tank in which a volatile chlorine component contained in electrolyzed water stays in the upper space, sufficient consideration must be given to the release of the gas to the outside air. Regarding means for coping with the release of volatile chlorine components contained in electrolyzed water, particularly chlorine gas, it has been proposed to directly provide the means in the electrolyzer of the electrolyzed water generator (see Patent Document 1).

However, in the electrolyzed water storage device that is arranged independently of the electrolyzed water generating device, a device provided with means for coping with the release of chlorine gas (chlorine gas emission coping means) has not been proposed yet. . If the electrolyzed water storage device is large and there is no significant restriction on the arrangement space, it can be easily installed in the storage device of the chlorine gas release treatment means, but it is placed under the sink in the kitchen. In a small storage device such as a storage device that is greatly limited in arrangement space, it is difficult to configure a storage device including a chlorine gas discharge processing unit so as not to be so large as compared with an existing storage device.

The leading end of the extraction conduit 12 is connected to the extraction hole.

  The second storage tank 10b has a similar structure that is symmetrical to the first storage tank 10a. The supply hole 11a and the outflow hole 11b of the case body 11 of the first storage device 10a are provided on the right side wall of the tank body 14. The supply hole and the outflow hole are provided. In addition, a drain hole 14a for extracting electrolytically generated water stored in the tank main body 14 from the bottom is provided in a lower part of the front side wall of the tank main body 14, and a lower part of the rear side wall of the tank main body 14 is provided. , Provided with an extraction hole (not shown).

  As shown in FIGS. 2, 3, and 5, the neutralizing apparatus 20 includes a box-shaped case body 21 having a predetermined width whose side surface is a substantially long octagon, and a portion below the rear side wall portion of the case body 21. An introduction pipe 22 that penetrates and extends into the case main body 21, a drain pipe 23 that is attached to the central portion of the rear side wall portion of the case main body 21 and extends rearward, and a shoulder provided at the upper rear portion of the case 21. A coupling mechanism 20a is provided. The coupling mechanism 20a functions to form an overflow channel for introducing surplus electrolytically generated water from the first storage tank 10a into the neutralization processing device 20, and retains the accumulated gas generated in the first storage tank 10a. It functions to form an introduction path for introduction into the chlorine component removing device 30a.

  In addition, the coupling mechanism 20a functions to form an overflow flow path for introducing surplus electrolytically generated water from the second storage tank 10b to the neutralization processing device 20, and a stagnation generated in the second storage tank 10b. It functions to form an introduction path for introducing gas into the chlorine component removing device 30b. The reason why the connection mechanism 20a has the same connection structure for the neutralization treatment device 20 and the chlorine component removal devices 30a, 30b of the storage tanks 10a, 10b is that the storage tanks 10a, 10b are exclusively set. This is to deal with the change.

  The connection mechanism portion 20 a includes a rectangular and sealed case 24, a first communication pipe 25 that passes through a substantially central portion of the bottom wall portion of the case 24, and a connection that passes through a front portion of the upper wall portion of the case 24. The tool 26 and a second communication pipe 27 penetrating the rear portion of the bottom wall portion of the case 24 are configured. The second communication pipe 27 is formed shorter than the first communication pipe 25. The connecting tool 26 includes a first connecting pipe portion 26a extending in the lateral direction, a pair of second connecting pipe portions 26b extending in parallel downward from the first connecting pipe portion 26a and facing the bottom in the case 24, and a first A pair of third connection pipe portions 26c extending rearward in parallel from the connection pipe portion 26a is provided.

  In the connection mechanism portion 20a, the first connection pipe portion 26a is a cylindrical body that opens at each end in the longitudinal direction, but is partitioned by a partition wall 26d at the center in the longitudinal direction.

Each of the second connecting pipe portions 26b and each of the third connecting pipe portions 26c is located on the left and right sides of the partition wall 26d with respect to the first connecting pipe portion 26a, and between the second connecting pipe portions 26b. The communication state is blocked, and the communication state between the third connection pipe portions 26c is blocked.

  In the connection mechanism portion 20a, the left and right open end portions of the first connection pipe portion 26a are directly connected to the outflow holes 11b of the storage tanks 10a and 10b. It connects with each connection hole 31c of the component removal apparatuses 30a and 30b via the introduction pipe. Further, in the connection mechanism portion 20 a, the upper end portion of the introduction pipe 22 is connected to the lower end portion of the second communication pipe 27 that is positioned through the rear side portion of the bottom wall portion of the case 21. The first communication pipe 25 located through the substantially central portion of the bottom wall portion of the case 21 extends up to a predetermined height above the second communication pipe 27 in the case 24.

  As a result, the coupling mechanism portion 20a introduces excess electrolytically generated water that flows out of the outflow holes 11b of the storage tanks 10a and 10b and stays in the case 24 together with the introduction pipe 22 into the neutralization processing device 20. An overflow channel is formed. Further, the connection mechanism portion 20a forms an introduction flow path for introducing the staying gas staying in the upper portion in each storage tank 10a, 10b to each chlorine component removal device 30a, 30b.

  Since the supply port 21a formed in the case body 21 is formed at an inclined portion, the supply port 21a has a receiving port shape into which a neutralizing agent can be easily charged, and is covered with a removable cap 28. The neutralizing agent is introduced into the case body 21 from the supply port 21a with the cap 28 removed. The neutralizing agent incorporated in the case main body 21 is visible because the case main body 21 is translucent, the upper limit position is confirmed with reference to the upper scale 21b, and the lower limit position with respect to the lower scale 21c. Can be confirmed. In the said neutralization processing apparatus 20, the cold water stone which has a calcium carbonate as a main component is employ | adopted as a neutralizing agent. The neutralizing agent is gradually consumed during the neutralization process and reaches the lower limit position. The operator confirms the lower limit position of the neutralizing agent, puts the neutralizing agent into the case body 21 through the supply port 21a, and replenishes it to the upper limit position.

  The chlorine component removing devices 30a and 30b are integrally formed. As shown in FIGS. 2, 3, 6, and 7, a case main body 31 having a rectangular shape with a predetermined width and a box shape having a predetermined thickness is provided. A common component is used. The case main body 31 is divided into left and right at the central portion in the left and right width direction by a partition wall 31a, and includes a pair of storage portions 31a1 and 31a2 divided into left and right. In the storage portions 31a1 and 31a2, porous activated carbon structures 32 each having an infinite number of ventilation paths formed by using activated carbon powder as a molding material are stored. The activated carbon structure 32 functions to adsorb and remove the chlorine component, and corresponds to the chlorine component removing agent in the present invention. Therefore, hereinafter, the activated carbon structure 32 is referred to as a chlorine component removing agent 32.

  The case body 31 is divided into a rear fixed case 31b and a front movable case 31c. The movable side case 31c is detachably fitted to the front opening of the fixed side case 31b, and each activated carbon structure 32 is inserted into each storage portion 31a1, 31a2 of the fixed side case 31b from the front opening. Inserted in a removable manner. The fixed side case 31b is provided with a pair of first and second connection holes 31d at the rear portion on the lower surface side. These connection holes 31d are opened in the rear space of each chlorine component removing agent 32 in the fixed case 31b. A pair of exhaust ports 31 e that open to the storage portions 31 a 1 and 31 a 2 in the case body 31 are provided at the left and right front portions of the case body 31. In the case body 31, an L-shaped engagement piece 33 is formed on the front side of the lower surface of the fixed case 31 a, and a plate-like engagement piece 34 is formed on the rear end surface thereof. Has been.

  The chlorine component removing devices 30a and 30b are disposed above the neutralization processing device 20 disposed between the first storage tank 10a and the second storage tank 10b. Is connected to each third connecting pipe portion 26 c in the connecting mechanism portion 20 a of the neutralization processing device 20 via each gas introduction pipe 35. Thereafter, the engagement piece 34 of the fixed side case 31b is inserted into the front flange portion of the cover 41, and the engagement piece 33 of the fixed side case 31b is provided at the top of the first connection pipe portion 26a in the connection mechanism portion 20a. It engages with the joining piece 26e and is placed on the neutralization processing device 20. Thereby, the chlorine component removal apparatus 30 is arrange | positioned above the neutralization processing apparatus 20 between the 1st storage tank 10a and the 2nd storage tank 10b.

  In the chlorine component removing devices 30a and 30b, an activated carbon structure is used as the chlorine component removing agent 32, and the chlorine component in the gas is removed by the adsorption action of the activated carbon. The adsorption capacity of the chlorine component in the chlorine component removing agent 32 gradually decreases with use, and therefore, the chlorine component removing agent 32 needs to be periodically replaced. In the chlorine component removing device 30, in the arrangement state described above, the movable side case 31c is detachable from the fixed side case 31b, and if the movable side case 31c is easily removed from the fixed side case 31b, the solid side Each chlorine component removing agent 32 stored in each storage portion 31a1, 31a2 of the case 31b can be extracted, and each new chlorine component removing agent 32 can be inserted and stored. That is, the replacement work of each chlorine component removing agent 32 is easy.

  In the electrolyzed water storage device A configured as described above, the air and other gases mixed in the upper space in the first storage tank 10 a pass through the coupling mechanism 20 a and the gas introduction pipe 35. The chlorine component removing device 30 is introduced into one storage portion 31a1 in the case main body 31, and passes through the innumerable ventilation holes of the chlorine component removing agent 32 which is a structure stored in the storage portion 31a1. The air is discharged from one exhaust hole 31e of the main body 31 to the atmosphere.

  In this case, when electrolytically generated acidic water is stored in the first storage tank 10a, the gas staying in the upper space in the first storage tank 10a contains a chlorine component, but contains a chlorine component. While the gas passes through the chlorine component removing agent 32, the chlorine component is removed. For this reason, according to the storage device A, the chlorine component generated in the first storage tank 10a is not released to the atmosphere, and has an influence on the surrounding environment due to the release of the chlorine component to the atmosphere. It can be surely prevented.

  Further, in this case, the electrolytically generated alkaline water is stored in the second storage tank 10b, and the gas retained in the upper space in the second storage tank 10b does not contain a chlorine component. In the storage device A, the gas is also introduced into the other storage portion 31a2 in the case body 31 through the connection mechanism portion 20a and the gas introduction pipe 35, and is stored in the storage portion 31a2. The countless air holes of the chlorine component remover 32 are transmitted through the other exhaust hole 31e of the case body 31 and released into the atmosphere. However, the chlorine component removing agent 32 does not have any adverse effect on the function and structure by such permeation of gas.

  In the storage device A, when the first storage tank 10a is changed to a tank that stores electrolytically generated alkaline water, and the second storage tank 10b is changed to a tank that stores electrolytically generated acidic water. The chlorine component removing devices 30a and 30b function in the same manner with the above modifications.

In the storage device A having such a function, the chlorine component removal devices 30a and 30b are integrated and above the neutralization treatment device 20 disposed below the first storage tank 10a and the second storage tank 10b. It is what is arranged in. The upper space portion is a useless space portion in the existing storage device of the type that does not have the chlorine component removing device, and even if the chlorine component removing devices 30a and 30b are arranged in the space portion, the type Compared with the existing storage device, the overall size does not change, and the storage device A including the chlorine component removal devices 30a and 30b can be configured compactly.

  Further, in the arrangement of the chlorine component removing devices 30a and 30b in the space portion, the chlorine component removing device 30a related to the first storage tank 10a is positioned close to the gas retention portion that is the upper space portion in the storage tank 10a. And the chlorine component removal apparatus 30b in connection with the 2nd storage tank 10b is located close to the gas retention part which is an upper space part in the storage tank 10b. For this reason, the flow path for introducing the gas staying in the gas retaining portions of the storage tanks 10a and 10b into the chlorine component removing devices 30a and 30b is simplified. Can be configured compactly.

Further, in the storage device A, the connection between the first storage tank 10a, the neutralization treatment device 20 and the chlorine component removal device 30a, and the second storage tank 10b, the neutralization treatment device 20 and the chlorine component removal device 30b. In order to simultaneously configure the connection between the three members, the connection mechanism 20a having a special structure is employed. The connection structure of all the component parts comprised by the said connection mechanism part 20a is very compact, For this reason, the whole structure of the said storage device A becomes a more compact thing.
