Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention is an ozone sterilization and deodorization device used for deodorizing bad odors and sterilizing water or hot water.

Prior Art As a prior art, Utility Model Application No. 62-9440 is disclosed. This publication discloses a case in which an air supply hole and an exhaust hole are formed, an ozone generator installed in the case, an ozone reaction chamber for reacting ozone and malodorous components, an ozone decomposition filter, a rectifying plate, etc.

Problems to be solved by the invention In Utility Model Application Publication No. 62-9440 shown as a conventional technique,
The ozone generator is turned off, and when the ozone generator stops operating, the electric blower also stops. Therefore, when the device has finished operating, the ozone generated around the ozone generator remains inside the case, and this ozone accelerates the oxidation of various parts inside the case, significantly reducing the durability of the device. It had

Means for Solving the Problems The present invention solves the problems of the prior art.
The purpose is to provide an ozone sterilization and deodorization device with improved durability.

That is, the present invention includes an ozone generator 5 that is housed in a box body 6 and generates ozone, and an ozone generator 5 that generates ozone that is housed in a box body 6.
An air compressor 1 that produces compressed air to be pushed out, a timer 11 that controls energization to the air compressor 1, and a dryer 3 that is interposed between the ozone generator 5 and the air compressor 1. This is an ozone deodorizing and sterilizing device that includes a pipe line 12 that guides ozone discharged from a box body 6, and a bathtub 13 that stores hot water and communicates with the pipe line 12.

Configuration of Example Air compressor 1 that sucks in and compresses outside air
A conduit 2 for introducing compressed air is connected to a dryer 3 that removes moisture from the air, and a conduit 4 for introducing dry air from the dryer 3 is connected to an air supply port of a box 6 housing an ozone generator 5. Ru.

The ozone generator 3 includes an ozone generating plate (not shown) that generates ozone when a frequency voltage obtained from a high frequency power source (not shown) in a power supply section 9 is applied to an electrode (not shown) formed on a part of a plate or cylinder. (Illustrations omitted)
Alternatively, the compressor may be an ozone generator cylinder (not shown), and the compressor is connected to the power supply unit 9 via a timer 11 that supplies power for a short predetermined period of time immediately after the supply voltage to the ozone generator 3 is cut off.

In the block diagram of FIG. 1, a conduit 12 connected to the outlet 8 of the box 6 is connected to a bathtub 13.

In the block diagram of FIG.
Hot water path 1 in which hot water is circulated by a circulation pump 14
5 is provided, and the tip of the conduit 12 is connected to a mixer 16 formed by providing a merging branch in a part of the hot water channel 15.

Also, air compressor 1 and circulation pump 14
is connected to the power supply unit 9 via the timer 11.

Function The device of the present invention ejects ozone generated by the ozone generator 5 into the outside air or into hot water, sterilizes bacteria in the air or hot water with the ozone, and further eliminates odors by causing odor molecules to react with ozone. It decomposes and disappears.

Ozone generated by applying a high frequency voltage from a power source 9 to an ozone generator 5 is mixed with compressed air obtained from an air compressor 1 and discharged into a bathtub 13.

When stopping the device of the present invention, first the power supply section 9
At the same time, the timer 11 starts counting, and even after ozone generation has stopped, the compressor 1 is operated for a short predetermined period of time to eliminate residual ozone in the box 6 and the ozone generator 5. into the bathtub 13.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a process for directly injecting ozone into a bathtub to sterilize bacteria in the bathtub. When ozone is injected from the box 6 into the bathtub 13 with this device, the injection is finished as described above. When doing so, box body 6
The residual ozone inside is injected into the bathtub 13 and moved.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing an example of injecting ozone into the hot water path 15 that circulates the hot water in the bathtub to sterilize bacteria in the hot water. Ozone bathtub 13
When the ozone injection is finished, the air compressor 1 and the circulation pump 14 are operated by the timer 11 for a short predetermined period of time even after the ozone generation has stopped, and the remaining ozone in the box body 6 is removed.
The residual ozone in the mixer 16 and the residual ozone in the hot water channel 15 are spouted toward the bathtub 13.

A dryer 3 interposed between the air compressor 1 and the box body 6 removes moisture from the compressed air discharged from the air compressor 1, thereby stabilizing the generation of ozone with high efficiency. That is, since the ozone generator 5 generates a creeping streamer discharge on the surface of the ozone generating plate and generates ozone there, an increase in the humidity of the supplied air reduces the amount of ozone generated. Therefore, if the dryer 3 is provided to keep the humidity of the compressed air low and stable, ozone generation will be highly efficient and stable.

Effects The present invention is a device for transporting ozone generated inside a box into a bathtub using compressed air compressed by an air compressor, and a timer is inserted into the input power source of the air compressor. It is. Therefore, even after ozone generation has stopped, the compressor continues to operate for a short time, and the ozone remaining inside the box is scavenged with compressed air. Conventionally, ozone flows backwards through the pipes and enters the dryer or compressor, causing ozone to float around the ozone generator and its surrounding parts, oxidizing the parts that come into contact with the ozone. This reduces oxidation of components and greatly improves the durability of the device. In addition, in the case of equipment having a circulation pump, the circulation pump is operated under the control of a timer in the same way as an air compressor to remove residual ozone, reduce oxidation of the hot water channel, and improve durability.

In addition, since the amount of ozone generated depends on environmental conditions such as humidity, the device of the present invention is equipped with a dryer 3 to keep the humidity of the compressed air low and stable, making it possible to stabilize ozone generation with high efficiency. did it.
