  In general, water and a filter medium are put into a container such as a portable pot or a water bottle to activate the water. Water activation refers to the treatment of clusters, which are aggregates of water molecules bonded by hydrogen bonds, by physical and chemical methods to change the state of the water. Improvement of function and growth promotion. Moreover, the container for activating water in this way is generally called a water heater. As a conventional water heater, there is a type in which a storage part that is partitioned by a partition wall having a water passage hole and through which water can flow is formed inside, and a water quality improving filter medium is stored in this storage part (see Patent Document 1). .

Registered Utility Model No. 3145358

  In order for the filter medium to activate water, a water flow is required, and the effect cannot be obtained when the water is stationary. For example, in the water heater described in Patent Document 1, since the water flow hardly occurs except when water is poured into the storage container, the water in an inactive state is difficult to touch the filter medium particularly in a full water state where the water flow is difficult to occur. There is a problem that the activation effect is hardly obtained.

  This invention is made | formed in order to solve said subject, and it aims at providing the water heater which can improve the activation effect of water.

A water heater according to the present invention that achieves the above object is a water heater that activates water, a storage container that can store water therein, and a hole that is stored inside the storage container and through which water can flow. A movable container that is movable independently of the storage container, and a filter medium that is accommodated in the movable container and is movable in the movable container by a water flow and cannot pass through the hole. A partition plate that extends only in one direction in a sectional view and forms a plurality of divided areas in the moving container, and the holes are arranged in the moving container for each of the areas, In the storage container in which the holes are arranged opposite to the direction along the partition plate and the water is stored, the filter medium moves to the bottom of the transfer container, so that the partition plate moves in the vertical direction. The posture of the moving container is adjusted to That as an active condenser.

  In the case of the water heater configured as described above, if the water container is shaken with the moving container and water stored inside the storage container, the moving container moves independently of the storage container, and a water flow is generated around the moving container. The water flow is also generated inside the moving container through the hole formed in the moving container. Further, due to the movement of the filter medium stored in the moving container, a water flow is generated inside the moving container. Therefore, since the water in an inactive state contacts more with a filter medium, the activation effect of water improves. Furthermore, even when the water is full, by shaking the water heater, a water flow inside the moving container is generated, and water in an inactive state comes into contact with the filter medium, so that the water activation effect is improved.

It is a front view of the water heater which concerns on embodiment of this invention. It is sectional drawing of the water heater which concerns on embodiment of this invention. It is a top view of a movement container. It is sectional drawing which shows an example of a filter medium. It is sectional drawing which shows the modification of a moving container.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In addition, the dimension ratio of drawing is exaggerated on account of description, and may differ from an actual ratio.

  The water heater 1 which concerns on embodiment of this invention is related with the water heater which can activate water even if it is full, and can improve the activation effect. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the water heater 1 has a storage container 10 that has an opening 19 at the upper end and stores water, a lid 20 that is detachably covered with the opening 19, and a storage container 10. And a movable container 30 that can move independently.

  The lid portion 20 includes an outer lid 21 and an inner lid 22. The outer lid 21 has a cup shape and is arranged so as to cover the opening 19. An outer lid recess 23 is formed on the inner periphery of the outer lid 21, and can be fitted and fixed to the storage container convex portion 11 formed on the outer periphery of the storage container 10. The inner lid 22 has a cup shape and is disposed so as to open toward the outer lid 21. An inner lid concave portion 24 is formed on the outer periphery of the inner lid 22, and can be fitted and fixed to the storage container convex portion 12 formed on the inner peripheral portion of the storage container 10. The inner lid 22 has a water injection hole 25 for pouring water.

  Further, an inner lid collar portion 26 that protrudes radially outward is formed on the upper portion of the inner lid 22, and the inner lid 22 enters the inside of the storage container 10 by interfering with the upper end portion 13 of the storage container. To prevent that. For the same purpose, the storage container 10 is formed with a storage container collar 14 that protrudes inward in the radial direction. Moreover, the sealing material 15 is arrange | positioned at the upper part of the storage container collar part 14, and it comes to be able to prevent a water leak by press-contacting with the inner cover lower end part 27 which is an edge of the lower surface of the inner cover 22 now. Yes.

  The storage container 10 is made of metal such as stainless steel, and has a storage container inner wall 16 and a storage container outer wall 17 as shown in FIG. 2. Between the storage container inner wall 16 and the storage container outer wall 17, It is formed of a double structure having a vacuum layer 18 and stores water for activation inside the storage container inner wall 16.

  The moving container 30 is made of a metal such as stainless steel, and the moving container 30 has a plurality of areas A1 to A4 (four areas in the figure) divided into a plurality of parts inside the moving container 30 as shown in FIGS. A partition plate 31 made of a metal such as stainless steel and a filter medium 32 for activating water are housed. Further, the moving container 30 has a pair of holes 33A and 33B each having a size that allows water to pass therethrough and the filter medium 32 cannot pass through the divided areas A1 to A4. The holes 33 </ b> A and 33 </ b> B are arranged to face each other in the direction along the partition plate 31.

  As the filter medium 32, for example, those described in Japanese Patent Application No. 9-163166, and other similar ones are used. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, the core portion 34, the base layer portion 35, and the surface layer portion 36 are manufactured by firing.

The core part 34 is obtained by granulating ceramic powder such as SiO ₂ , Al ₂ O ₃ , TiO ₂ , ZrO ₂ .

The base layer portion 35 emits the maximum molecular vibration spectrum in the infrared wavelength region, and recrystallizes after dehydration by calcining a mineral having stretching vibration or bending vibration showing the molecular vibration spectrum at about 400-850 ° C. The main raw material is obtained by pulverization to about 200 to 450 mesh, and SrO, TiO ₂ , CoO, FeO, Fe ₂ O _{3 and the} like are used as auxiliary raw materials, and the main components are 80 to 95% by weight and auxiliary components are 5 to 20% by weight. It is what was mixed in the ratio.

  The surface layer portion 36 is obtained by vitrifying the surface of the base layer portion 35.

  Next, the operation of the water heater 1 according to this embodiment will be described.

  First, in a state where both the outer lid 21 and the inner lid 22 are removed from the storage container 10, the moving container 30 in which the partition plate 31 and the filter medium 32 are stored is stored in the storage container 10.

  As an example, water is stored in the storage container 10 to the extent that the moving container 30 is covered, and an inner lid 22 and an outer lid 21 are attached to prevent the water from spilling. At this time, as shown in FIG. 2, since the moving container 30 goes to the outer periphery with respect to the vertical direction of the partition plate 31 and has a bottom portion having a gradient on the upper side, the filter medium 32 gathers in the vicinity of the partition plate 31, Therefore, the movable container 30 is in a state of rising so that the partition plate 31 is in the vertical direction.

  And if the water heater 1 is shaken up and down, the following phenomenon will appear.

  (1) The holes 33 </ b> A and 33 </ b> B through which the water formed in the moving container 30 can flow are positioned up and down because the holes 33 </ b> A are raised as described above. The moving container 30 moves independently of the storage container 10. As a result, as shown in FIG. 2, a water flow S <b> 1 is generated on the outer periphery of the moving container 30 due to the movement of the moving container 30. This water flow S1 generates a water flow S2 in the moving container 30 through the holes 33A and 33B. Further, when attention is paid to the inside of the moving container 30, the water flow S2 is also generated due to the following factors. That is, the holes 33A and 33B are sized so that the filter medium 32 cannot pass therethrough, and are arranged facing the direction along the partition plate 31, and the moving container 30 moves independently of the storage container 10, The filter medium 32 moves along the partition plate 31 in the moving container 30. As a result, a water flow S2 is generated inside the moving container 30.

  (2) Since the moving container 30 moves independently of the storage container 10, the moving container 30 collides with the storage container inner wall 16. As a result, the storage container 10 and the moving container 30 vibrate. The vibration is larger because the storage container 10 has a double structure that is excellent in cold and heat retention effects and can easily vibrate the storage container inner wall 16 as compared with a single structure.

  Due to the phenomenon (1), a water flow S2 is generated inside the moving container 30, and more water in an inactive state comes into contact with the filter medium 32, so that the water activation effect is improved.

  Further, due to the phenomenon of (2) above, the storage container 10 and the moving container 30 vibrate and the change in the water state is promoted, so that the water activation effect is improved.

  The above phenomena (1) and (2) occur even when the storage container 10 is filled with water. Therefore, water can be effectively activated even in a full water state where it has conventionally been difficult to obtain an activation effect.

  Moreover, even if the direction in which the water heater 1 is shaken is deviated from the vertical direction, the moving container 30 is tilted so that the resistance of water is low, so the direction in which the water heater 1 is shaken and the direction of the partition plate 32 are the same, The activation effect can be obtained in the same manner as in the case of shaking in the vertical direction.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the water heater 1 is formed with the storage container 10 that can store water therein and the holes 33A and 33B that are stored inside the storage container 10 and through which water can flow. A movable container 30 that is movable independently of the storage container 10, and a filter medium 32 that is accommodated in the movable container 30 and that can be moved in the movable container 30 by a water flow and cannot pass through the holes 33A and 33B. Have. Therefore, when the water heater 1 is shaken with the moving container 30 and water stored inside the storage container 10, the moving container 30 moves independently of the storage container 10, and the water flow S <b> 1 is generated around the outer periphery of the moving container 30. The water flow S <b> 2 is also generated inside the moving container 30 through the holes 33 </ b> A and 33 </ b> B formed in the moving container 30. Further, due to the movement of the filter medium 32 housed inside the moving container 30, a water flow S <b> 2 is generated inside the moving container 30. Therefore, since the non-activated water contacts the filter medium 32 more, the water activation effect is improved. Even in the full water state, by shaking the water heater 1, a water flow S <b> 2 inside the moving container 30 is generated, and water in an inactive state comes into contact with the filter medium 32, thereby improving the water activation effect. .

  If the partition plate 31 which forms the area | region A1-A4 divided into plurality in the inside of the movement container 30 is provided and the holes 33A and 33B are arrange | positioned in the movement container 30 for every area | region A1-A4, the movement container 30 of Since the internal water flow S2 is generated for each of the regions A1 to A4 and the filter medium 32 moves using the partition plate 31 as a guide, the filter mediums 32 can easily move without interfering with each other, and the activation effect is improved.

  If the holes 33A, 33B are arranged in the direction along the partition plate 31 for each of the regions A1 to A4, the amount of the water flow S2 inside the moving container 30 increases and the amount of water that contacts the filter medium 32 Therefore, the activation effect is improved.

  If the storage container 10 is made of metal, when the movable container 30 collides with the inner wall 16 of the storage container, the storage container 10 and the movable container 30 are likely to vibrate, so that the activation effect is improved.

If the storage container 10 has a double structure, the storage container inner wall 16 can be easily vibrated as compared with the single structure, and the change in the water state is promoted, so that the activation effect is improved.
