Description

  The present invention relates to an electrolyzed water generating apparatus including an electrolyzer that generates electrolyzed water by electrolyzing water.

  In a kitchen or the like, a space where an electrolyzed water generating device can be installed is limited, and a thin electrolyzed water generating device that can be installed in such a limited space is desired. Moreover, after installing an electrolyzed water generating apparatus in a kitchen etc., it is desired to ensure a wide space for cooking and other operations.

  On the other hand, in general, an electrolyzed water generating apparatus has an electrolyzer having a plurality of metal electrodes and a power supply circuit for supplying electrolysis power to the electrolyzer, so that it is much more effective than a water purifier. It is heavy. The power supply circuit for supplying the electrolysis power to the electrolytic cell is a power supply for supplying a high voltage and a high current. For this reason, when reducing the thickness of the electrolyzed water generating device, it is necessary to avoid dangers such as breakage or failure due to overturning or dropping, or electric leakage due to overturning into the sink. A supporting member (for example, a supporting foot or the like) is required.

  Patent Document 1 discloses a technique of vertically placing a short side surface of a thin box-shaped ion water generator as an installation surface, and discloses a plurality of installation structures related to the ion water generator. Specifically, the ionic water generator uses a screw or the like to fix the mounting part provided on both side surfaces of the longitudinal side using a screw or the like, increasing the installation area of the fixing tool on the installation surface and making it difficult to collapse. (See FIG. 13 of Patent Document 1). As another example of the installation structure, a wall fixing piece is fixed to an indoor wall of a kitchen or the like, while an apparatus-side fixing tool is fixed to the ionic water generator, and the apparatus-side fixing tool is locked to the wall fixing piece. (See FIG. 14 of Patent Document 1).

  Patent Document 2 discloses a dehumidifier that is slim as a whole and does not easily fall over. Specifically, the declination prevention means of the dehumidifier comprises two rotating shafts formed on the bottom surface of the container body and a foot portion rotatably supported by the rotating shaft, and the width of the foot portion is the container body. The length is smaller than the width of the container body, and the length is larger than the width of the container body. As a result, the foot can be installed either at a non-use position where it can be stored in the bottom surface of the container body, or at a use position protruding to the side of the container body, and the foot can be used only when necessary. it can.

  Patent Document 3 discloses a technique relating to a U-shaped leg portion attached to the bottom surface of an ionic water generator and configured to be able to be pulled out toward the side of the apparatus main body in the ionic water generator. Yes.

  However, although the configuration in which the divergent fixtures are provided on both side surfaces of the longitudinal direction of the ionic water generator as in Patent Document 1, the installation area of the fixtures on the installation surface can be secured widely, the rear surface in the kitchen or the like If there is a wall surface, a space corresponding to the width of the fixture is required between the ion water generator and the wall surface. Therefore, there is a possibility that the ion water generator cannot be placed when the installation space is limited. In addition, even when an ionic water generator can be installed, it is necessary to bring the ionic water generator forward from the wall by the width of the fixture, resulting in a dead space on the rear side of the ionic water generator. The space becomes narrower. Therefore, the space such as the kitchen cannot be effectively used.

  Also in the installation structure in which the wall fixing piece is fixed to the wall plate and the apparatus fixture is locked, a dead space corresponding to the protruding amount of the fixing piece is generated between the ionic water generator and the wall plate surface. Moreover, in order to install stably, it is necessary to attach the wall fixing piece of an indoor wall surface to the same height as an apparatus fixture, and it is very troublesome.

  When the technique disclosed in Patent Document 2 is applied to an ionic water generator, since both feet are configured to be movable between a non-use position and a use position, there is a wall plate on the back. Can store feet and install equipment without generating space behind the ionic water generator.

  However, when the technique disclosed in Patent Document 2 is applied to the electrolyzed water generating device, if the user uses both feet in the unused position, the feet in the device width direction The installation area with the installation surface cannot be secured sufficiently, and there is a risk that the device will easily fall over. Furthermore, many electrolyzed water generation apparatuses have an operation part for selecting the state of water to be discharged on the longitudinal side wall surface, and the possibility of falling down by the operation is further increased.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and its main purpose is to provide an electrolyzed water generating device that can be installed in a limited space and can more reliably prevent the device from overturning. There is to do.

  According to the present invention, at least a pair of support legs respectively provided on both side walls of the housing in the electrolyzed water generating device can move between a projecting position projecting to the outside of the housing and a storage position to be immersed inside the housing. When the support leg is supported by the housing and one of the support legs is in the storage position, the movement of the other support leg to the storage position is limited.

That is, in the first aspect of the present invention, an electrolyzed water generating device including a housing having upright side walls facing each other and an electrolytic cell accommodated in the housing, the electrolyzed water generating device is provided at a lower portion of the housing. At least a pair of support legs for supporting the two are provided on both side walls, and both support legs are movable in the housing so as to be movable between a projecting position projecting outside the housing in a plan view and a storage position immersed inside the housing. and supported, and one of the support legs, when in the storage position, the invaded at least a portion of the storage space when the other support leg is moved to the collapsed position to the storage position of said other support leg An interference unit that interferes with movement is included .

  According to this aspect, when the electrolyzed water generating device is installed so that the side wall of the housing faces the wall surface of the installation location (for example, the kitchen), both the support legs are supported so as to be movable to the storage positions. The electrolyzed water generating device can be installed close to the wall surface by moving only the support legs provided on the side wall adjacent to the storage position. Also, when one support foot is in the storage position, the movement of the other support foot to the storage position is restricted, so the other support foot cannot move to the storage position and protrudes outside the housing. Maintained. The projecting other support foot secures a sufficient installation area in the width direction of the electrolyzed water generating device, so that the electrolyzed water generating device can be prevented from being overturned (side down). Thereby, a fall of an electrolyzed water generating apparatus can be prevented more certainly. In addition, since either one of the support legs can be moved to the storage position, depending on the position of the power outlet, etc., even if the side wall of the housing facing the wall surface is the opposite side wall, It is also possible to install the electrolyzed water generating device close to the wall plate and more reliably prevent the electrolyzed water generating device from overturning. In addition, when arrange | positioning an electrolyzed water generating apparatus spaced apart from a wall board, you may use it, moving both support legs to a protrusion position.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the electrolyzed water generating device according to the first aspect, the housing has a bottom portion, and each support foot can swing around an axis in the vertical direction at an eccentric position in plan view. When one support foot is in the storage position, the interference part of one support foot enters at least a part of the storage space when the other support foot moves to the storage position. The other support foot is configured to interfere with the movement to the storage position.

According to this aspect, since each support foot is pivotally supported at an eccentric position so as to be swingable about the vertical axis, one of the supporting legs is provided on the side wall side close to the wall plate, as in the first aspect. By rotating the support foot to the storage position, the electrolyzed water generating device can be installed close to the wall plate. Further, when one support foot is in the storage position in this way, the other support foot is in the storage position because the interference of the one support foot interferes with the rotation of the other support foot to the storage position. It is not possible to rotate, and the state of protruding to the outside of the housing is maintained. Thereby, like the 1st mode, it can prevent more certainly the fall (side-down) of the electrolyzed water generating device.

  According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the electrolyzed water generating device according to the second aspect, the length between the axis of each support foot and the outer peripheral edge farthest from the axis is between the axes of the pair of support feet. It is longer than the distance.

  According to this aspect, even if one support foot tries to rotate further into the housing from the storage position, the one support foot comes into contact with the other support foot in front of the axis of the other support foot in the protruding position, and is rotated further. It will be unable to move. Thereby, it can prevent that the support leg immersed in the accommodation position rotates more than necessary.

  According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in the electrolyzed water generating apparatus according to the second aspect, each support foot is a side edge formed such that a side located on the side wall side of the housing in plan view is formed along the outer surface of the side wall. And an interference portion that interferes when the other support foot in the protruding position moves to the storage position.

  According to this aspect, since the side of each support foot on the side wall of the housing is along the outer surface of the side wall, the installation area when immersed in the storage position is larger than in the case of other side shapes. Can be secured. In addition, since the rotation of the other support foot to the storage position is interfered by the interference portion of the one support foot in the storage position, similarly to the second aspect, the fall of the electrolyzed water generating device can be prevented more reliably. Can do.

  According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, in the electrolyzed water generating apparatus according to at least one of the second to fourth aspects, the thickness in the vertical direction of each support foot is a power source for the electrolyzed water generating apparatus. The diameter is larger than at least one of the cord, the water supply hose, and the drainage hose.

  According to this aspect, since a gap is formed between the lower end of the housing and the installation surface of the electrolyzed water generating device according to the height of each support foot, the power cord and the water supply / drain hose can be taken out from the gap. Thereby, for example, when it is desired to place the electrolyzed water generating device in the corner of the kitchen, the power cord and the water supply / drain hose can be taken out from the side wall side of the housing. Rise. Further, it is not necessary to separately provide a through hole or a cutout for taking out the power cord or the water supply / drainage hose in the housing.

  According to a sixth aspect of the present invention, in the electrolyzed water generating apparatus according to the second aspect, each support foot is configured such that when the support foot is in the storage position, the other support foot in the protruding position cannot move toward the storage position. The fixing member which fixes so that it may become is provided.

  According to this aspect, when one support foot is in the storage position, the other support foot is fixed by the fixing member so as not to swing. Thereby, the state which the other support leg protrudes to the outer side of the housing is maintained. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the electrolytic water generating device from falling over more reliably.

  According to a seventh aspect of the present invention, in the electrolyzed water generating apparatus according to the second aspect, when each support foot is in the protruding position, a rotation suppression mechanism that suppresses the rotation of the support foot is provided.

  According to this aspect, when each support foot is in the protruding position, the rotation of the support foot is suppressed. Therefore, even if a force for rotating the support foot in the protruding position to the storage position is applied. The rotation of the support foot is suppressed by the rotation suppressing member. Thereby, while enabling the swing of each support foot between the protruding position and the storage position, the rotation of the support foot is suppressed at the protruded position, and the fall of the electrolyzed water generating device can be prevented more reliably. .

  According to an eighth aspect of the present invention, in the electrolyzed water generating device according to at least one of the second to fourth aspects, the lower end of the housing and the electrolyzed water generating device are disposed between the support foot and the bottom. An intermediate member is provided that makes the distance from the installation surface larger than the diameter of at least one of the power cord, the water supply hose, and the drainage hose for the electrolyzed water generating device.

  According to this aspect, since a gap is formed between the lower end of the housing and the installation surface of the electrolyzed water generating device according to the height of the intermediate member, the power cord and the water supply / drain hose are externally connected through the gap as in the fifth aspect. The degree of freedom of the installation position of the electrolyzed water generating device is increased. Further, it is not necessary to provide a through hole or a cutout for taking out the power cord or the water supply / drainage hose in the housing.

  According to the present invention, in the electrolyzed water generating apparatus provided with the electrolyzer for generating electrolyzed water, the support legs supported so as to be immersible inside the housing are provided so as to protrude or be accommodated on both side walls, and both supports are provided. Since the feet are not immersed into the storage position at the same time, the installation in a limited space is possible, and the device can be prevented from falling down more reliably.

[Operation of support foot]
In this embodiment, an example of the operation of the support foot when the support foot is operated according to the installation location of the electrolyzed water generating apparatus A will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. In FIG. 4, the support legs 41, 42, 51, 52 are assumed to be stored behind the electrolyzed water generating device A with respect to the rotation shafts of the respective support legs. That is, it is assumed that the storage position of each support foot is on the rear side of the rotation axis of each support foot.

  First, when the electrolyzed water generating apparatus A is installed on both the left and right sides so that the walls of the kitchen or the like are not close to each other, as shown in FIG. 1, all the support legs 41, 42, 51 (52) is rotated (projected) to be in the projecting position. Thereby, the lateral fall of the electrolyzed water generating apparatus A can be prevented.

  Next, when there is a wall surface 90 on the right side surface of the electrolyzed water generating apparatus A, as shown in FIG. 4, the support feet 41 on the right side surface (opposite panel 11 side) in the both support foot mechanisms 40 and 50. Only 51 is rotated (immersed) into the storage position. Thereby, the electrolyzed water generating apparatus A can be installed so that the right side surface of the electrolyzed water generating apparatus A (the right side surface of the opposing panel 11) is close to the wall surface 90. Moreover, since the left side support legs 42 and 52 remain in the protruding position, the support legs 42 and 52 ensure a sufficient installation area in the width direction of the electrolyzed water generating apparatus A, and the electrolyzed water generating apparatus A falls down. (Side-down) can be prevented.

  At this time, even if a force for rotating the support feet 42 and 52 in the immersing direction is applied, the interference portions 41e and 51e of the support feet 41 and 51 are in the storage space related to the storage positions of the support feet 42 and 52. Since it penetrates into a part and interferes with the rotation of the support feet 42 and 52 to the storage position, the support feet 42 and 52 cannot rotate to the storage position. Therefore, even in such a case, it is not impaired that the installation area in the width direction of the electrolyzed water generating device A is sufficiently secured, and the electrolyzed water generating device A can be stably prevented from falling (side down). Can do.

  Similarly, when there is a wall surface on the left side surface of the electrolyzed water generating apparatus A, only the support feet 41 and 51 on the right side surface (opposite panel 11 side) are in the protruding position as shown by phantom lines in FIG. Turn (protrude). Further, the support legs 42 and 52 on the left side surface (opposite panel 12 side) are rotated (immersed) into the storage position. Thereby, the electrolyzed water production | generation apparatus A can be installed so that the left side surface may adjoin to a wall surface. At this time, since the support feet 41 and 51 are in the protruding position, the support feet 41 and 51 sufficiently secure the installation area in the width direction of the electrolyzed water generating device A, and the electrolyzed water generating device A is overturned (side down). ) Can be prevented.

  At this time, even if a force in the immersion direction is applied to the support feet 41 and 51, the interference portions 42 e and 52 e of the support feet 42 and 52 are part of the storage space related to the storage positions of the support feet 41 and 51. The support feet 41 and 51 cannot move to the storage position because they interfere with the rotation of the support feet 41 and 51 to the storage position. Therefore, even in such a case, it is not impaired that the installation area in the width direction of the electrolyzed water generating apparatus A is sufficiently secured, and the electrolyzed water generating apparatus A can be prevented from being overturned (side down).

  As shown in FIG. 5, even when the pair of support feet 41 and 42 and the pair of support feet 51 and 52 constituting each pair of support foot mechanisms 40 and 50 are simultaneously rotated toward the storage position, respectively. In addition, since the mutual interference portions (interference portion 41e and interference portion 42e and interference portion 51e and interference portion 52e) interfere with each other, both supporting feet do not immerse into the storage position at the same time. Therefore, even in such a case, the installation area in the width direction of the electrolyzed water generating device A is sufficiently secured, and the electrolyzed water generating device A can be prevented from falling (side down).

[Other Embodiments]
Although the present invention has been described with the preferred embodiments, various modifications can be made.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 6, instead of the brackets 60, 80, the lower end of a panel (opposing panel 11, 12, connection panel 13, etc.) located on either side of the housing 10 and the electrolyzed water generator A Brackets 63 and 83 may be provided so that the distance from the installation surface is larger than any of the diameters of the power cord 36, the water supply hose 35, and the drainage hose 33 for the electrolyzed water generating apparatus A. Further, instead of the height of the brackets 60 and 80, the vertical thicknesses of the support legs 41, 42, 51 and 52 themselves are set to the power cord 36 for the electrolyzed water generator A, the water supply hose 35, and the drainage hose 33. It may be larger than either diameter. In FIG. 6, the distance D4 between the lower end part of the opposing panel 11 of the housing 10 and the installation surface of the electrolyzed water generating apparatus A is made larger than the diameter D3 of the water supply hose 35 for the electrolyzed water generating apparatus A as an example. Is shown.

  Thus, similarly to the above embodiment, the power cord 36, the water supply hose 35, the drainage hose 33, etc. are passed between the lower end of the side wall side panel, that is, the lower end of the housing 10 and the installation surface of the electrolyzed water generating device A. Therefore, the power cord 36, the water supply hose 35, the drainage hose 33, etc. can be taken out from the gap. Thereby, for example, when it is desired to place the electrolyzed water generating device in the corner portion of the kitchen, the power cord and the water supply / drainage hose can be taken out from the side of the side wall side panel (for example, the opposing panel 11) of the housing. The degree of freedom of the installation position of the electrolyzed water generating device is increased.

  Further, although the support legs 41, 42, 51, 52 are connected to the bottom panel 16 via the brackets 60, 80, they may be directly attached to the housing 10. For example, as shown in FIG. 4, protrusions 81a and 81b projecting inward are formed on the front sides of the opposing panels 11 and 12, and screw holes (not shown) are formed in the protrusions 81a and 81b. The support legs 41 and 42 may be pivotally supported with respect to the screw holes. Further, the bottom surface of the bottom panel 16 may be formed so as to have the same height as the lower end portion of the housing 10, and the support legs 41, 42, 51, 52 may be directly supported on the newly formed bottom panel.

  Further, the shape of the support legs 41, 42, 51, 52 is not limited to the shape described in the above embodiment. For example, the side edges 41d, 42d, 51d, and 52d of the support legs 41, 42, 51, and 52 may be lengthened, and are formed continuously from the trapezoidal portion and the long side of the trapezoidal portion in plan view. You may make it consist of the ellipse-shaped part by which the edge part was notched. Further, an oval shape having no trapezoidal portion (for example, an elliptical shape) may be used, or a rectangular shape having no curved surface in plan view may be used. Further, regarding the size, the length of the foot may be longer than that of the above embodiment.

  In FIG. 4, the support legs 41, 42, 51, 52 are stored on the rear side of the electrolyzed water generating device A with respect to the rotation shafts of the support legs, but are stored on the front side. That is, the storage position of each support foot may be in front of the rotation axis of each support foot.

  Further, although the support legs 41, 42, 51, 52 have the same size and shape, they may be different from each other. For example, in FIG. 4, the side edges 51 d and 52 d of only the support legs 51 and 52 may be shaped along the outer side wall of the opposing panel 11.

  In addition, although not shown, a fixing member that fixes the other support foot in the protruding position so that the other support foot in the protruding position cannot be rotated (moved) toward the storage position when the one support foot is in the storage position. Alternatively, it may be provided on the bracket). For example, other support legs in the protruding position may be fixed at positions orthogonal to the opposing panels.

  Further, a pair of support foot mechanisms 40 as shown in FIG. 7 may be used as the pair of support foot mechanisms 40. In the pair of support foot mechanisms 40 shown in FIG. 7, the shape of the base members of both support feet 41 and 42 is different from that in FIG. 3. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 7, the second mounting plate 60c of the bracket 60 is provided with an engagement hole 61c in the thickness direction, and the base members 41f and 42f of the support feet 41 and 42 are provided with a base. Engagement convex pieces 41g and 42g that are integrally formed so as to protrude from the end portion on the short side of the shape portion to the back side and that can be engaged with the engagement hole 61c when the support foot is in the protruding position are provided. Yes. The rotation suppression mechanisms 45 and 46 are comprised by the engagement hole 61c and the engagement convex pieces 41g and 42g. The engaging convex pieces 41g and 42g are formed of an elastic member that can move in the thickness direction. As a result, even if a force for rotating the support foot in the protruding position in the immersion direction is applied, the rotation of the support foot is suppressed by the rotation suppression mechanisms 45 and 46. On the other hand, when it is desired to move the respective support feet 41 and 42 to the storage position, each of the engagement protrusions 41g and 42g can be rotated with a force strong enough to be elastically deformed and come out of the engagement hole 61c. That's fine. Thereby, while enabling the swing of each support foot between the protruding position and the storage position, the rotation of the support foot is suppressed at the protruded position, and the fall of the electrolyzed water generating device can be prevented more reliably. . In addition, even if it attaches to the other support legs 51 and 52, an engagement convex piece can be provided similarly to the support legs 41 and 42.

  When it is desired to securely fix each support foot at the protruding position, the engagement protrusions 41g and 42g of the support feet 41 and 42 in FIG. 7 may be formed so as not to be elastically deformed. Thereby, the fall of an electrolyzed water generating apparatus can be prevented more reliably.
