<First embodiment>
The coin laundry system 100 includes a headquarters that manages a plurality of coin laundry facilities, and each coin laundry facility 2 (see also FIG. 2).
Here, the coin laundry facility is ultimately assumed to be a plurality of facilities, but it may be one facility.
Coin laundry facility 2 currently uses coins for washing, but in the future it will be possible to pay by electronic method. Such a facility is also referred to as a coin laundry in this embodiment.
In addition, within the premises of this coin laundry facility 2, water, alkaline ionized water, information, etc. can be sent without using public (meaning that it can be used by unspecified third parties) facilities and equipment. or receive (in the case of information, send and receive).

FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram of a portion of an alkaline ionized water generation system 1, which is a portion of a laundromat system 100 according to a first embodiment of the present invention that generates alkaline ionized water.

The alkaline ion water generation system 1 includes an alkaline ion water generation section 10, an alkaline ion water generation medium supply section 20 that supplies an alkaline ion water generation medium 21 to the alkaline ion water generation section 10, and an alkaline ion water generation section. It has an alkaline ion water storage section 30 that stores alkaline ion water, and an alkaline ion water transport container 101.

Water is supplied to the alkaline ion water generating section 10 through a first pipe 51.
An alkaline ionized water generation medium 21 is also supplied to the alkaline ionized water generation section 10 from an alkaline ionized water generation medium supply section 20 .
For this reason, the alkaline ion water generation medium supply section 20 includes a plurality of alkaline ion water generation media 21. The alkaline ionized water generating medium 21 reacts with water and changes it into alkaline ionized water having a pH of 12.5 or higher, for example.

Specifically, alkaline ionized water is produced using, for example, the method disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. 2004-275841, which is an already disclosed technique.
However, this method requires a relatively long time to generate alkaline ionized water, and unless the alkaline ionized water is generated and stored in advance, the alkaline ionized water cannot be used immediately. There is a problem.
Therefore, in Patent Document 2, an alkaline ion water transport container 101 is provided.
However, this alkaline ion water generating unit 10 has a problem in that it is relatively expensive, and when this system is introduced in a plurality of facilities, there is a problem in that the introduction cost increases.

Therefore, in this embodiment, the alkaline ionized water is generated by the alkaline ionized water generation unit 10 at a factory such as the headquarters, rather than for each facility, and the alkaline ionized water is delivered to each facility using a distribution network such as a courier service. We solved this problem by providing water.
Note that this mechanism was made possible because, in Patent Document 2, it was believed that alkaline ionized water should be used with a relatively high alkaline concentration, but as a result of various experiments, the conventional idea was changed. This was made possible by the discovery that a similar cleaning effect was observed even at a much lower alkaline concentration than previously known.
In other words, if alkaline ionized water is used at a relatively high alkaline concentration as in the past, it would be necessary to transport a large amount of alkaline ionized water, which would be impractical, so each facility It was supposed to produce alkaline ionized water.
However, if the alkaline concentration does not need to be low, it would be possible to dilute it hundreds of times in each facility. The method of this embodiment (the present invention) was made possible by the discovery that it is sufficient to transport a slightly higher concentration of alkaline ionized water than to provide a.

As described above, the alkaline ionized water generated in the alkaline ionized water generation section 10 is generated over time.
Therefore, the generated alkaline ionized water is sequentially stored in the alkaline ionized water transport container 101.
Alkaline ionized water is supplied from the alkaline ionized water storage section 30 to the alkaline ionized water transport container 101 through a second pipe 52 .
. The second pipe 52 is provided with a regulating valve 40 . The regulating valve 40 adjusts the amount of alkaline ionized water from the alkaline ionized water storage section 30 to the alkaline ionized water transport container 101 .
In this embodiment, the alkaline ion water is formed to flow based on gravity, but it goes without saying that a pump or the like may be used.

A water amount sensor (not shown) is provided to detect the amount of water inside the alkaline ionized water transport container 101.
This water amount sensor detects that the amount of water in the alkaline ionized water transport container 101 has reached a certain level, and sends this information to the regulating valve 40.
Accordingly, the regulating valve 40 automatically stops the supply of alkaline ionized water.
The alkaline ionized water transport container 101 filled with alkaline ionized water is delivered to each facility through a distribution network.

The top (mouth) of the alkaline ionized water transport container 101 may be provided with a mechanism for preventing backflow of contents, that is, a backflow prevention valve. As a result, even when the tank filled with contents is loaded onto a transport truck using a belt conveyor or the like, smooth loading is possible without unnecessary manual work.
Note that a structure in which the mouth of the alkaline ionized water transport container 101 is covered with a screw-on cap or the like may be more suitable in some cases.

Note that the alkaline ion water generation medium supply section 20 may have a timer and automatically supply the alkaline ion water generation medium 21 to the alkaline ion water generation section 10 according to the timer.
Further, the alkaline ion water generation medium supply section 20 is configured to supply the alkaline ion water generation medium 21 to the alkaline ion water generation section 10 according to the amount of alkaline ion water stored in the alkaline ion water storage section 30. Good too.
In this case, a detection means for detecting the amount of alkaline ion water stored is provided in the alkaline ion water storage section 30, and the detected information is sent to the alkaline ion water generation medium supply section 20.

In addition, when using the above-mentioned technique, the alkaline ionized water generating medium 21 can be an electrolytic auxiliary agent formed into a solid shape made of potassium carbonate. When potassium carbonate is used, it is possible to generate about 15 liters of alkaline ionized water with a pH of 12.5 per hour. It is also possible to adjust the amount of potassium carbonate supplied to the alkaline ionized water generation section 10 depending on the amount stored in the alkaline ionized water storage section 30.

Further, in this embodiment, the alkaline ion water generating medium 21 is formed into a solid shape, but in a modified example, it may be formed into a powder form.
Furthermore, in a modification, the amount of potassium carbonate supplied to the alkaline ionized water generating section 10 may be adjusted depending on the amount of alkaline ionized water that is desired to be generated or stored.
In a modified example, a system may be provided in which the alkaline ionized water transport containers 101 are automatically supplied one after another to fill the alkaline hot water.

FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram of two parts of a laundromat facility that uses alkaline ionized water in the laundromat system 100 according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

More specifically, it is an explanatory diagram of a portion of FIG. 1 in which clothes are washed using alkaline ionized water filled in an alkaline ionized water transport container 101.
The coin laundry facility 2 in FIG. 2 includes four cleaning tanks 110: a first cleaning tank 110a, a second cleaning tank 110b, a third cleaning tank 110c, and a fourth cleaning tank 110d.
Although not shown, it goes without saying that the coin laundry facility 2 has facilities, equipment, and stores that other coin laundry facilities normally have, but since these are not an essential part of this embodiment, their explanation will be omitted.

Furthermore, the number of alkaline ionized water reservoirs 131 is smaller (one) than the number of cleaning tanks 110 (four).
The second pipe 104 supplies alkaline ionized water from this alkaline ionized water storage section 131 to each cleaning tank 110 .
Specifically, water is supplied from the first alkaline water opening 114a to the first cleaning tank 110a, water is supplied from the second alkaline water opening 114b to the second cleaning tank 110b, and water is supplied from the third alkaline water opening 114b to the second cleaning tank 110b. Water is supplied from the opening 114c to the third cleaning tank 110c, and water is supplied from the fourth alkaline water opening 114d to the fourth cleaning tank 110d.
Moreover, the alkaline ionized water supplied to the first cleaning tank 110a is adjusted by the first alkaline water regulating valve 112a.
Similarly, the second alkaline water regulating valve 112b controls the supply to the second washing tank 110b, the third alkaline water regulating valve 112c controls the supply to the third washing tank 110c, and the fourth alkaline water regulating valve 112d controls the supply to the third washing tank 110c. The supply to the fourth cleaning tank 110d is adjusted.

The third pipe 53 is a pipe for water used in normal washing that does not contain alkaline ions, such as tap water, to the four cleaning tanks 110, and is connected from the first water opening 113a to the first washing tank 110a. Water is provided.
Similarly, water is supplied from the second water opening 113b to the second cleaning tank 110b, water is supplied from the third water opening 113c to the third cleaning tank 110c, and water is supplied from the fourth water opening 113d to the second cleaning tank 110b. Water is supplied to the fourth cleaning tank 110d.
Moreover, the water supplied to the first cleaning tank 110a is adjusted by the first water regulating valve 111a.
Similarly, the second water regulating valve 111b supplies water to the second cleaning tank 110b, the third water regulating valve 111c supplies water to the third cleaning tank 110c, and the fourth water regulating valve 111d supplies water to the fourth cleaning tank 110c. The supply to tank 110d is regulated.

The alkaline ionized water storage section 131 is replenished by pumping up the alkaline ionized water in the alkaline ionized water transport container 101 via the fourth pipe 55 .
More specifically, alkaline ionized water is supplied to the alkaline ionized water storage section 131 by draining the alkaline ionized water sucked by the pump 54 from the water supply port 55a through the drainage groove 55b.

A sensor 132 for detecting the water level is arranged in the alkaline ion water storage section 131.
For example, by using a pressure gauge as the sensor 132, it is possible to know the water level in detail.
Of course, a method other than a pressure gauge may be used.
Although not preferred, it is also possible to provide one or more sensors capable of detecting when the water level is below or above a predetermined amount.
Further, it is preferable that this sensor 132 is capable of detecting a dangerous amount of water that is expected to cause the laundromat to be unable to operate due to a shortage of alkaline ionized water.
This sensor 132 may have this function, or a dedicated sensor for this function may be provided.

Alkaline ionized water is supplied via the second pipe 104, but in this case, it is preferable to supply the alkaline ionized water to each cleaning tank 110 by gravity without using a pump or the like. Of course, this does not mean to exclude the use of a pump.
Moreover, if possible, it is more appropriate for the third pipe 53 to be directly connected to the water main and supply water to each cleaning tank 110 using the pressure of the water main.

Further, in the present invention, cleaning is performed using alkaline ionized water suitable for cleaning.
Furthermore, it is preferable to wash with alkaline ionized water that also has a sterilizing and sterilizing effect. Since stains on clothes and the like are acidic, the more alkaline the water used when washing, the more stains can be removed. Relatively strong alkaline ionized water can decompose and clean oil stains and cigarette tar.

Since alkaline ionized water does not contain synthetic surfactants, it does not foam and can be rinsed at the same time as cleaning.
This leads to significant water savings and cost reductions. In addition, since no detergent is used, there is no color or odor, and the sterilization effect of alkaline ionized water removes bacteria, leading to a deodorizing effect.

3 and 4 are explanatory diagrams showing an alkaline ion water generation medium supply section of the coin laundry system 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention.

The alkaline ionized water generation medium supply section 20 includes a timer 20T.
The alkaline ionized water generation medium supply section 20 is configured such that the alkaline ionized water generation media 21A, 21B, 21C, and 21D are put into the alkaline ionized water generation medium supply section 20 from the top. The alkaline ion water generation medium supply section 20 is provided with a first plate 25 fixed to a first rotating jig 26 and a second plate 27 fixed to a second rotating jig 28. The first plate 25 holds the alkaline ion water generating medium 21A. The second plate 27 holds alkaline ion water generating media 21B, 21C, and 21D.

The alkaline ion water generation medium supply section 20 automatically supplies the alkaline ion water generation medium 21A to the alkaline ion water generation section 10 according to the timer 20T.
At this time, the first rotating jig 26 rotates the first plate 25, and the alkaline ion water generation medium 21A slides on the first plate 25 (see FIG. 3), so that the alkaline ion water generation unit 10 generates alkaline ion water. Medium 21A is supplied.
When the alkaline ion water generation medium 21A is supplied to the alkaline ion water generation unit 10, the second plate 27 fixed to the second rotating jig 28 holds the alkaline ion water generation media 21B, 21C, and 21D. The alkaline ionized water generation media 21B, 21C, and 21D are not supplied to the alkaline ionized water generation section 10.
As a result, the alkaline ion water generation medium is supplied to the alkaline ion water generation section 10 one by one.

The timer 20T outputs a signal to the first rotating jig 26 and the second rotating jig 28 according to a set time such as every 6 hours or every 8 hours, and drives each of them. The second rotating jig 28 is driven after a predetermined period of time after the first rotating jig 26 is driven, or after receiving a signal that detects that the alkaline ion water generating medium 21A has slipped down the first plate 25. You may also do so.

Additionally, a detection means is provided to detect the amount of alkaline ion water stored in the alkaline ion water storage section, and the alkaline ion water generation medium is supplied to the alkaline ion water generation section according to the amount of alkaline ion water stored in the alkaline ion water storage section. It may also be supplied.

FIG. 5 is a block diagram of the control system of the coin laundry system 100 according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

Based on this FIG. 5, processing in the coin laundry system 100 according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described.
The coin laundry system 100 includes an alkaline ionized water generation system 1, a coin laundry facility 2 that uses alkaline ionized water, a communication network 63 such as the Internet, and a distribution network such as a courier service.

The alkaline ionized water generation system 1 also includes a central control unit 65 (see also FIG. 1).
The coin laundry facility 2 that uses alkaline ionized water includes a water regulating valve 111, an alkaline water regulating valve 112, a sensor 132, an input section 61, and a communication section 62.

The control unit 60 controls various information about the coin laundry facility 2. This control section 60 may exist for each cleaning tank 110, or one or more control sections may exist for controlling the entire coin laundry facility 2.
Furthermore, there may be one for each cleaning tank 110 that controls the entire coin laundry facility 2 .
Further, in some cases, the headquarters control unit 65 may perform all operations.

The input unit 61 is for the user to input coins, course selection, etc.
The information input by the user is transmitted to the control unit 60.
It is preferable that this input section 61 exists for each cleaning tank 110.
Although not shown, it is more preferable that there is a display section in the laundromat facility 2 (which may be in each cleaning tank 110) for notifying the user of information.
Note that this display unit may be displayed on a user's smartphone or the like. Similarly, it is naturally possible for the user's smartphone to also serve as the input unit 61.

The sensor 132 measures the water level in the alkaline ionized water storage section 131 and transmits the water level information to the control section 60 .
This sensor 132 is preferably one that can measure the water level in real time.
However, it may be possible to detect when the water level is below (above) a predetermined level.

The water regulating valve 111 is provided in each cleaning tank 110 as shown in FIG. 2, and can adjust the amount of water supplied to the cleaning tank 110.

The alkaline water regulating valve 112 is provided in each cleaning tank 110 as shown in FIG. 2, and can adjust the amount of water supplied from the alkaline ionized water storage section 131 to the cleaning tank 110.

The communication unit 62 can notify the headquarters control unit 65 of various information from the control unit 60 via a communication network 63 such as the Internet.
Conversely, the communication unit 62 can receive information from the communication network 63 headquarters control unit 65.

The headquarters control unit 65 can analyze, accumulate, and manage information from each laundromat facility 2, and transmit instructions and information to each laundromat facility 2 when necessary.
Further, the headquarters control unit 65 controls the alkaline ion water generation system 1 shown in FIG.
Furthermore, the headquarters control unit 65 manages the shipment of alkaline ionized water to the transport container 101 to each coin laundry facility, as will be described later.

The control unit 60 controls the water adjustment valve 111 and the alkaline water adjustment valve 112 to adjust the water and alkaline ionized water when receiving information from the user through the input unit 61 that the user wants to perform cleaning.
Note that the control unit 60 performs various controls for washing clothes and the like, but since they are not important in this embodiment, they will be omitted.

The amount of water and alkaline ionized water supplied by the control unit 60 may be 1 part of alkaline ionized water and 1000 parts of water.

FIG. 6 is an example of a flowchart of processing by the headquarters control unit 65.

The following processing is for one coin laundry facility 2.
The headquarters control unit 65 performs and manages the following processing for each laundromat facility 2, but the explanation will be omitted here.

In step ST101, it is determined whether the amount of water is below a dangerous amount where it is expected that the laundromat will not be able to operate due to a shortage of alkaline ionized water.
If the water level is less than the dangerous water level, the process moves to step ST107.
If not, the process moves to step ST102.
With this process, it is possible to detect that alkaline ionized water needs to be delivered urgently due to some abnormal situation, and to do so.
Of course, it is also possible to notify the administrator of the head office control unit 65 of this fact and take countermeasures.

In step ST102, it is determined whether it is the timing to detect the water volume of the target coin laundry facility 2.
If it is the timing, the process moves to step ST103.
If not, the process returns to step ST101.
With this processing, the communication and processing load can be reduced.
This timing can be set in a range from several seconds to several days.
This setting can be made by the administrator of the head office control unit 65 or by step ST108, which will be described later.

In step ST103, current water level information is acquired from the sensor 132.
In step ST104, the previous water level information when the process was performed is acquired from the memory or the like.
In step ST105, the rate of decrease in water level is calculated.
Specifically, the rate of decrease = (previous water level information - current water level information)/Δt is calculated.
Note that here, Δt is the elapsed time from the time when the water level information was acquired last time to the time when the water level information was acquired this time.

In ST109, it is determined whether the decreasing speed is an abnormal value.
Specifically, an abnormal value is when the rate of decrease is extremely fast. Conversely, if the rate of decrease is much slower than the conventional rate, it is an abnormal value.
Furthermore, an abnormal value is when the amount increases rather than decreases even though there is no plan to ship the alkaline ionized water transport container 101 and increase the amount.
Furthermore, even if the alkaline ionized water transport container 101 has been shipped, the increase in quantity may be large.
If the value is an abnormal value, the process moves to step ST110.
On the other hand, if the value is not an abnormal value, the process moves to step ST106.
Note that the determination of abnormal values described here is merely an example, and it goes without saying that simpler or more complex determinations may be made. For example, more complex judgments may be made depending on the day of the week, season, event, etc.

In step ST110, the administrator of the head office control unit 65 or the like is notified of the abnormality using the notification means.
For example, it may be displayed on a display, sent by e-mail, etc.

In step ST106, it is determined whether it is necessary to replenish alkaline ionized water and ship it.
If it is determined that replenishment is necessary, the process moves to step ST107.
On the other hand, if there is no need for replenishment, the process moves to step 108.
Here, it is determined whether or not replenishment is necessary if the absolute value of the alkaline ionized water existing in the alkaline ionized water storage section 131 is less than or equal to a predetermined value.
Further, even if the value is above a predetermined value, it is determined that replenishment is necessary even if the rate of decrease is fast.

In step ST107, the head office control unit 65 issues an instruction to send the alkaline ionized water transport container 101 to the coin laundry facility 2 that needs replenishment.
Note that the contents of the instruction (how many liters to send, how many times to send, etc.) are stored in the storage unit and used for the next determination in step ST109 and step 106.

In step ST108, the next acquisition timing is determined based on the decreasing speed.
This next acquisition timing is used in step ST102.
The next acquisition timing is shortened if the rate of decrease is high, and extended if the rate of decrease is slow.
