Hereinafter, embodiments for carrying out the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

(First Embodiment)
First, the electrolyzed water spraying device D according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 7. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the electrolyzed water spraying device D, and is a view of the electrolyzed water spraying device D as viewed from the front side. FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the electrolyzed water spraying device D, and is a view of the electrolyzed water spraying device D viewed from the front side with the panel 3 of FIG. 1 open.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the electrolyzed water spraying device D includes a substantially box-shaped main body case 1, and has substantially square-shaped intake ports 2 on both side surfaces of the main body case 1. An openable / closable air outlet 6 is provided on the top surface of the main body case 1. In FIGS. 1 and 2, the outlet 6 is in a closed state.

A display unit 20 is provided on the front surface of the main body case 1 on the top surface side. FIG. 3A is a schematic view schematically showing the display unit 20. The display unit 20 is provided with a plurality of lamps for indicating the state of the electrolyzed water spraying device D and giving various instructions to the user depending on the lighting state. For example, the display unit 20 includes a drainage display unit 21. The drainage display unit 21 displays to the effect that the drainage of the water storage unit 14, which will be described later, is urged. Depending on the lighting state of the drainage display unit 21, the user can be urged to drain the water storage unit 14.

Returning to FIG. 2, a panel 3 that can be opened and closed is provided on the first main body side surface 1A, which is the right side surface (one side side surface of the main body case 1) when viewed from the front side of the main body case 1. An intake port 2 on one side of the main body case 1 is provided on the panel 3. When the panel 3 is opened, a vertically long square-shaped opening 4 appears. The water storage unit 14, the water supply unit 15, the tablet charging case 18a, and the like, which will be described later, can be taken out from the opening 4.

Further, in the main body case 1, an in-door operation unit 25 that can be operated by the user through the opening 4 is provided. FIG. 3B is a schematic view schematically showing the operation unit 25 inside the door. The operation unit 25 inside the door is provided with a plurality of operation buttons for the user to give various notifications to the electrolyzed water spraying device D, for example, a drainage release button 26 is provided.

The drainage release button 26 indicates that when the drainage display unit 21 indicates that the water storage unit 14 is to be drained, the user drains the water storage unit 14 and then the drainage is performed. This is an operation button for notifying the spraying device D. When the drainage release button 26 is operated by the user, the electrolyzed water spraying device D grasps that the drainage of the water storage unit 14 is completed, and ends the display on the drainage display unit 21.

Here, as described above, the water storage unit 14 can be taken out from the opening 4 that appears by opening the panel 3, and the water storage unit 14 is taken out from the opening 4 to drain water. On the other hand, the drainage release button 26 is provided at a position where it cannot be operated unless the panel 3 is opened. As a result, when the drainage display unit 21 displays that the water storage unit 14 is urged to drain water, the user must open the panel 3 in order to end the display. Therefore, the electrolyzed water spraying device D can urge the user to drain the water storage unit 14 through the operation of opening the panel 3. Further, when the drainage release button 26 is operated, the user can confirm the state of the water storage unit 14 from the opening 4. As a result, the user can operate the drainage release button 26 after visually observing that the water storage unit 14 is drained.

FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of the electrolyzed water spraying device D with the central portion in the front view cut in the vertical direction, and is a view of the electrolyzed water spraying device D viewed from the right side. FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view of the electrolyzed water spraying device D with the right side in the front view cut in the vertical direction, and is a view seen from the right side of the electrolyzed water spraying device D. FIG. 6 is a functional block diagram showing the main functions of the electrolyzed water spraying device D in blocks.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 4 to 6, the main body case 1 is provided with an electrolyzed water generating unit 5, a water supply unit 15, a spraying unit 19, and an air passage 8. In addition to the drainage display unit 21 described above, the electrolyzed water generation unit 5 includes a water storage unit 14, an electrolysis unit 17, an electrolysis promoting tablet charging unit 18, and a control unit 30.

The water storage unit 14 has a box shape with an open top surface and has a structure capable of storing water. The water storage unit 14 is arranged in the lower part of the main body case 1, slides horizontally from the main body case 1, and can be attached to and detached from the main body case 1, and can be taken out from the opening 4. The water storage unit 14 stores water supplied from the water supply unit 15.

The electrolytic unit 17 includes an electrode member (not shown), and the electrode member is installed so as to be immersed in water in the water storage unit 14. By energizing the electrode member, the electrolyzing unit 17 electrochemically electrolyzes the water containing chloride ions in the water storage unit 14 to generate electrolyzed water containing an active oxygen species. Here, the active oxygen species are oxygen molecules having higher oxidative activity than ordinary oxygen and related substances. For example, active oxygen species include so-called narrow-sense active oxygen such as superoxide anion, singlet oxygen, hydroxyl radical, and hydrogen peroxide, and so-called broad-sense active oxygen such as ozone and hypochlorous acid (hypochlorous acid). Is included.

The electrolyzing unit 17 has a plurality of one cycle, with one cycle being the energization time for energizing the electrode member for electrolysis and the time after the energization is stopped, that is, the non-energization time, which is the time during which the energization is not performed. By repeating this time, electrolyzed water is generated. The life of the electrode member can be extended by providing the electrode member with a non-energized time. If the energization time is lengthened with respect to the non-energization time, electrolyzed water containing a larger amount of active oxygen species is generated per cycle. Further, if the non-energized time is lengthened with respect to the energized time, the generation of active oxygen species per cycle can be suppressed. Further, if the amount of electric power during the energization time is increased, electrolyzed water containing a larger amount of active oxygen species is generated.

The electrolysis-accelerated tablet charging unit 18 includes a tablet charging case 18a, a tablet charging member (not shown) provided in the tablet charging case 18a, and a tablet charging cover 18b detachably provided on the upper part of the tablet charging case 18a. It has. The tablet loading case 18a is configured to be removable from the opening 4. The user can load the electrolysis-accelerated tablet into the tablet loading case 18a by removing the tablet loading cover 18b from the tablet loading case 18a taken out.

The electrolysis-accelerated tablet charging unit 18 rotates the tablet charging member when the control unit 30 instructs the electrolysis-promoted tablet to be charged. When the tablet loading member rotates, the electrolysis-promoting tablet falls into the water storage unit 14 through the drop opening (not shown) on the bottom surface of the tablet loading case 18a. The electrolysis-promoting tablet charging unit 18 counts the number of electrolysis-promoting tablets dropped from the tablet charging case 18a into the water storage unit 14, and determines that one electrolysis-promoting tablet has dropped from the tablet charging case 18a into the water storage unit 14. Stop the rotation of the tablet loading member. When the electrolysis-promoting tablet dissolves in the water in the water storage unit 14, water containing chloride ions is generated in the water in the water storage unit 14. An example of an electrolysis-accelerated tablet is sodium chloride.

The electrolyzed water spraying device D does not have to have the electrolysis promoting tablet charging unit 18. In this case, the electrolyzed water spraying device D may notify the user of instructing the user to put in the electrolyzed promoting tablet by displaying or sounding, and let the user directly put the electrolyzed promoting tablet into the water storage unit 14. When the electrolysis-accelerated tablet charging unit 18 is not provided, the control by the control unit 30 related to the electrolysis-accelerated tablet charging unit 18 described later is omitted.

The water supply unit 15 includes a tank 15a for storing water and a lid 15b provided at an opening (not shown) of the tank 15a. An opening / closing portion (not shown) is provided in the center of the lid 15b, and when the opening / closing portion is opened, the water in the tank 15a is supplied to the water storage portion 14.

Specifically, when the water supply section 15 is attached to the tank holding section 14a of the water storage section 14 with the opening of the tank 15a facing downward, the opening / closing section is opened by the tank holding section 14a. That is, when the water supply unit 15 containing water is attached to the tank holding unit 14a, the opening / closing unit is opened to supply water to the water storage unit 14, and water is collected in the water storage unit 14. When the water level in the water storage unit 14 rises and reaches the lid 15b, the opening of the water supply unit 15 is sealed, so that the water supply is stopped, water remains inside the water supply unit 15, and the water level in the water storage unit 14 The water inside the tank 15a is supplied to the water storage unit 14 each time the water level drops. That is, the water level in the water storage unit 14 is kept constant.

The electrolyzed water spraying device D does not have to have the tank 15a as the water supply unit 15. In this case, the line for supplying water to the electrolytic water spraying device D is drawn from tap water, and when the water level in the water storage unit 14 drops, the water is supplied until the water level in the water storage unit 14 rises to a predetermined position. Water may be supplied.

The rotation shaft 9a of the motor unit 9 extends from the front side to the back side of the main body case 1. The casing portion 11 is provided with a discharge port 12 on the upper surface side of the main body case 1 of the casing portion 11, and has a suction port 13 on the back surface side of the main body case 1 of the casing portion 11. The air volume of the blower unit 7 is determined every unit time (for example, 5 minutes) of the air volume according to the temperature, humidity, and gas odor level. The amount of rotation of the motor unit 9 is controlled based on the determined air volume.

The filter unit 16 is a member that brings the electrolyzed water stored in the water storage unit 14 into contact with the indoor air that has flowed into the main body case 1 by the blower unit 7. The filter unit 16 is formed in a cylindrical shape, and a filter 16a having a hole through which air can flow is arranged in the circumferential portion, and one end thereof is immersed in the electrolyzed water stored in the water storage unit 14 to retain water. In addition, the filter 16a is rotatably built in the water storage unit 14 with the central axis as the center of rotation. The filter unit 16 is rotated by a drive unit (not shown) to continuously bring the electrolyzed water and the room air into contact with each other.

The air passage 8 communicates the intake port 2 and the air outlet 6, and includes a filter unit 16, a blower unit 7, and an air outlet 6 in this order from the intake port 2. When the fan portion 10 is rotated by the motor portion 9, the external air sucked from the intake port 2 and entered into the air passage 8 is sequentially passed through the filter 16a, the blower portion 7, and the air outlet 6 to the electrolyzed water spraying device D. It is blown out to the outside of. As a result, the electrolyzed water generated in the water storage unit 14 is sprayed to the outside. The electrolyzed water spraying device D does not necessarily have to sprinkle the electrolyzed water itself, and even if it sprays the resulting active oxygen species derived from the electrolyzed water (including volatilization), the electrolyzed water is sprayed. include.

FIG. 7A is a functional block diagram showing the detailed functions of the electrolyzed water generating unit 5 in blocks. The control unit 30 includes an energization counting unit 31, an energizing time comparison unit 32, a number counting unit 33, and a number comparison unit 34. The energization counting unit 31 is composed of a counter that counts the energizing time X1 in which the electrode members constituting the electrolyzing unit 17 are energized. Specifically, the energization counting unit 31 counts the energizing time X1 to the electrode member after the water storage unit 14 is drained.

In the number counting unit 33, when the control unit 30 instructs the electrolysis accelerating tablet charging unit 18 to charge the electrolysis accelerating tablet into the water storage unit 14, the electrolysis accelerating tablet charging unit 18 responds to the one instruction. The number of charged electrolysis-promoting tablets X3 is counted. The number counter unit 33 counts the number X3 of the charged electrolysis-promoting tablets counted by the electrolysis-promoting tablet charging unit 18 in response to a plurality of instructions from the control unit 30 for charging the electrolysis-promoting tablets. May be good.

Here, with reference to FIG. 7B, the wastewater determination process executed by the control unit 30 will be described. FIG. 7B is a flowchart showing this wastewater determination process. The control unit 30 executes the drainage determination process every predetermined time (for example, 1 minute).

In this wastewater determination process, first, control is performed to generate and spray electrolyzed water with the air volume and electrolysis intensity setting set by the user (S1), and then the energization time counted by the energization counting unit 31 (water storage unit 14). (Electricity time to the electrode member) X1 after the drainage is performed, and the energization time threshold A are compared (S2). The control unit 30 that executes the process of S2 constitutes the energization time comparison unit 32.

As a result of comparison of the treatments of S2, when it is determined that the energization time X1 exceeds the energization time threshold value A (X1> A) (S2: Yes), the wastewater determination treatment shifts to the treatment of S4, and the electrolyzed water Is stopped and spraying is stopped, and a display indicating that drainage is urged by the drainage display unit 21 is performed. The display is continued until the water storage unit 14 is drained, and after the drainage is performed, the display is terminated. The determination as to whether or not the drainage of the water storage unit 14 has been performed is performed by determining whether or not the drainage release button 26 has been operated by the user. That is, when the drainage release button 26 is operated by the user, it is determined that the drainage of the water storage unit 14 is completed.

A drought detection unit for detecting that the inside of the water storage unit 14 is in a drought state is provided, and when the drainage release button 26 is operated by the user, the drought detection unit detects that the inside of the water storage unit 14 is in a drought state. It may be determined that the drainage of the water storage unit 14 is completed on the condition that the water storage unit 14 has been drained. As a result, it can be more reliably determined that the water storage unit 14 has been drained.

Further, a detection unit capable of detecting attachment / detachment of the water storage unit 14 from the main body case 1 is provided, and when the water storage unit 14 is once removed from the main body case 1 and then reattached, the drought detection unit inside the water storage unit 14. It may be determined that the water storage unit 14 has been drained when the water is in a drought state.

The detection of the drought detection unit does not necessarily have to detect the state in which the water in the water storage unit 14 is completely exhausted. For example, one end of the filter 16a is at a level where it is not immersed in the water in the water storage unit 14. The condition may be detected as a drought condition.

On the other hand, when it is determined that the energization time X1 does not exceed the energization time threshold value A (X1 ≦ A) as a result of the comparison of the treatments of S2 (S2: No), in the wastewater determination processing, the number counting unit is then counted. The number X3 of the electrolysis-promoting tablets charged into the water storage unit 14 counted by 33 is compared with the electrolysis-promoting tablet threshold C (S3). The control unit 30 that executes the process of S3 constitutes the number comparison unit 34.

As a result of comparison of the treatments of S3, when it is determined that the number X3 of the electrolysis-promoting tablets charged into the water storage unit 14 exceeds the electrolysis-promoting tablet threshold C (X3> C) (S3: Yes), the wastewater is determined. In the treatment, the process proceeds to the treatment of S4, the generation and spraying of the electrolyzed water are stopped, and the drainage display unit 21 displays that the drainage is promoted. As described above, the display is continued until the water storage unit 14 is drained, and after the drainage is performed, the display is terminated.

On the other hand, as a result of comparison of the treatments of S3, it is determined that the number X3 of the electrolysis-promoting tablets charged into the water storage unit 14 does not exceed the electrolysis-promoting tablet threshold C (X3 ≦ C) (S3: No). After the treatment of S4 is completed, in the wastewater determination process, the generation and spraying of electrolyzed water are controlled with the air volume and the electrolysis intensity set set by the user (S5), and then the wastewater determination process is completed.

In the process of S2, when the energization time X1 becomes equal to or greater than the energization time threshold value A (X1 ≧ A), the drainage display unit 21 may display the water storage unit 14 to prompt the drainage. Further, when the energization time X1 reaches the energization time threshold value A (X1 = A), the drainage display unit 21 may display the water storage unit 14 to prompt the drainage. Further, in the treatment of S3, when the number X3 of the electrolysis accelerating tablets charged into the water storage unit 14 becomes equal to or more than the electrolysis accelerating tablet threshold value C (X3 ≧ C), the drainage display unit 21 prompts the drainage of the water storage unit 14. A drainage display may be performed. Further, when the number X3 of the electrolysis-promoting tablets charged into the water storage unit 14 reaches the electrolysis-promoting tablet threshold value C (X3 = C), the drainage display unit 21 displays to encourage the drainage of the water storage unit 14. May be good.

As described above, in the electrolyzed water spraying device D according to the first embodiment, the energization time X1 of the electrode member of the electrolysis unit 17 is counted, and when the energization time X1 exceeds the energization time threshold A, the drainage of the water storage unit 14 is drained. The prompting display is performed on the drainage display unit 21. As a result, every time the energization time X1 exceeds the energization time threshold value A, drainage of the water storage unit 14 is promoted. Therefore, the electrolytic water spraying device D according to the first embodiment gives the user a timing at which the concentration of chloride ions in the water in the water storage unit 14 decreases due to electrolysis and an appropriate amount of active oxygen species cannot be generated. On the other hand, since the water storage unit 14 can be drained, the water in the water storage unit 14 can be replaced with new water, and the concentration of chloride ions contained in the water can be optimized.

Further, in the electrolyzed water spraying device D according to the first embodiment, the number X3 of the electrolysis accelerating tablets charged into the water storage unit 14 is counted, and when the number X3 exceeds the electrolysis accelerating tablet threshold C, the drainage of the water storage unit 14 is drained. Is displayed on the drainage display unit 21. As a result, in the electrolyzed water spraying device D according to the first embodiment, there is a possibility that an amount of active oxygen species larger than a desired amount may be generated due to too many electrolyzed promoting tablets charged into the water storage unit 14. Can cause the user to drain the water storage unit 14. Therefore, in such a case, the electrolyzed water spraying device D according to the first embodiment replaces the water in the water storage unit 14 with new water, and optimizes the concentration of chloride ions contained in the water. Can be done. Further, in the electrolyzed water spraying device D according to the first embodiment, the electrode member operates in a state where the concentration of chloride ions is high and the electrolysis is set in a normal concentration state, so that the scale adheres to the electrode member. It is possible to suppress a decrease in life.

As described above, in the electrolyzed water spraying device D according to the first embodiment, the drainage display unit 21 displays a display prompting the drainage of the water storage unit 14, so that the active oxygen species having a desired concentration cannot be generated. It is possible to urge the user to drain the water storage unit 14 in the case where the water in the water storage unit 14 is dirty. Therefore, the electrolyzed water spraying device D according to the first embodiment can replace the water in the water storage unit 14 with new water in such a case, so that the water can be cleaned and the chloride contained in the water can be removed. The ion concentration can be optimized. Therefore, the electrolyzed water spraying device D according to the first embodiment can prolong the life of the electrode member and stably realize the performance of sterilization and deodorization.

FIG. 8 is a functional block diagram showing the detailed functions of the electrolyzed water generating unit 5 in the electrolyzed water spraying device D according to the second embodiment in blocks. The control unit 30 includes an energization count unit 35 and an energization time comparison unit 36 in place of the energization count unit 31 and the energization time comparison unit 32 according to the first embodiment.

The energization counting unit 35 is composed of a counter that counts the energizing time X2 to the control unit 30. Specifically, the energization counting unit 35 counts the energizing time X2 to the control unit 30 after the water storage unit 14 is drained.

The energization time comparison unit 36 compares the energization time (energization time to the control unit 30 after the water storage unit 14 is drained) X2 and the energization time threshold value B counted by the energization counting unit 35. Then, in the energization time comparison unit 36, when the energization time X2 exceeds the energization time threshold B (X2> B), the control unit 30 stops the generation and spraying of the electrolyzed water to the drainage display unit 21. Have them display that they are urging drainage. The display is continued until the water storage unit 14 is drained, and after the drainage is performed, the display is terminated.

As a result, every time the energization time X2 exceeds the energization time threshold value B, drainage of the water storage unit 14 is promoted. Here, since the energizing time X2 is the energizing time to the control unit 30, that is, the energizing time of the power supply to the electrolyzed water spraying device D, the electrolyzed water spraying device D according to the second embodiment has the energizing time threshold B. By adjusting the above, the chloride ion in the water storage unit 14 is naturally attenuated by sunlight or the like, and the drainage can be promoted at the optimum timing in consideration of the dirt in the water storage unit 14. Therefore, the electrolyzed water spraying device D according to the second embodiment can prolong the life of the electrode and stably realize the performance of sterilization and deodorization.

The display is continued until the water storage unit 14 is drained, and after the drainage is performed, the display is terminated.

When the conductivity X4 in the water storage unit 14 is high, it can be determined whether the concentration of chloride ions in the water in the water storage unit 14 is high or the water is dirty. Therefore, if electrolysis is performed in that state, the life of the electrode member may be shortened. The electrolyzed water spraying device D according to the third embodiment grasps the conductivity X4 of the water in the water storage unit 14, and promotes the drainage of the water storage unit 14 at the optimum timing based on the conductivity X4.
