  The portable electrolyzed water sprayer of the present invention has a cylindrical appearance, and a spray mechanism that sprays the electrolyzed water on the upper part of a main body provided with a cylindrical water tank part in which an electrolyzed part for generating electrolyzed water is disposed. The nozzle cover is attached so as to cover the spray mechanism part, and the energization start switch part to the electrolysis part is configured by the rotation position of the nozzle cover with respect to the cylindrical body part, and An example is described below.

  In addition, "sanitization" in the present invention means that the number of bacteria after sterilization becomes 1/100 or less compared to the number of bacteria before sterilization.

  Hereinafter, as shown in the figure, the portable electrolyzed water sprayer 1 according to the present invention has a cylindrical shape such as a cylindrical shape, an elliptical shape, a polygonal shape, etc., and a cylindrical shape made of a synthetic resin having an upper surface opening 2A at an intermediate portion. The water tank section 2 is arranged, the power supply section 3 is arranged at the lower part, and the push type spray mechanism part 4 made of synthetic resin is arranged at the upper part. The illustrated one is a portable body in which a cylindrical body portion 1A is formed as a tubular body portion 1A by a water tank portion 2 and a power source portion 3 having substantially the same diameter, and a push type spray mechanism portion 4 is disposed thereon. An electrolyzed water sprayer 1 is shown.

  At the center of the water tank 2 is a cylindrical electrolysis unit 5 in which water from the water tank 2 flows in from the lower inlet 5E and flows out from the upper surface opening 5A to the spray mechanism 4 in the axial direction of the water tank 2 The periphery of the cylindrical electrolysis part 5 is a water reservoir part of the water tank part 2, and water in the water tank part 2 flows into the electrolysis part 5 from the lower inlet 5E. For this reason, when the portable electrolyzed water sprayer 1 is in a vertical state with the push-type spray mechanism unit 4 facing upward, the water levels of the electrolyzing unit 5 and the water tank unit 2 are at the same level.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the electrolysis unit 5 includes an electrode 6 for generating electrolyzed water for generating ozone and generating electrolyzed water so as to be immersed in the water inside the electrolyzing unit 5. It produces ozone water as electrolyzed water for sterilization. The electrolysis unit 5 includes a cylindrical electrolysis unit in which a plus electrode 6A and a minus electrode 6B are accommodated in the axial direction of the portable electrolyzed water sprayer 1, that is, in the center of the water tank unit 2 in the axial direction of the water tank unit 2. 5 is formed. The electrode 6 is composed of two to five plus electrodes 6A and a minus electrode 6B extending in parallel in the axial direction of the water tank portion 2, and is composed of a pair of one plus electrode 6A and one minus electrode 6B. However, in order to effectively generate sterilized electrolyzed water, as a preferred form of the electrode 6, at least three plate-like electrodes are provided so that the plus electrode 6A and the minus electrode 6B are alternately arranged. However, the plate-like surfaces are arranged to face each other with a predetermined interval.

  As a configuration of the cylindrical electrolysis unit 5, a positive electrode 6A and a negative electrode 6B are accommodated in a cylindrical body 5P at a predetermined interval, and a space between the positive electrode 6A and the negative electrode 6B serves as a water flow path. Electrolytic chamber 5S. If water is present in a portion other than the electrolysis chamber 5S between the positive electrode 6A and the negative electrode 6B, water that does not contain ozone is generated in this portion, and if this is sprayed from the push-type spray mechanism unit 4, the sterilization effect Is damaged. In order to prevent this, the electrolysis unit 5 has a cylindrical configuration in which water does not flow through a portion other than between the plus electrode 6A and the minus electrode 6B.

  As one embodiment of the electrolysis unit 5, as shown in a cross section in FIG. 7, the three plate-like electrodes are arranged in the vertical direction through the spacer 5B made of an insulating material so that the plus electrodes 6A and the minus electrodes 6B are alternately arranged. Are opposed to each other with a substantially uniform predetermined interval (0.1 mm to 1 mm), the intermediate plate-like electrode is a positive electrode 6A, and the plate-like electrodes on both sides thereof are negative electrodes 6B, which do not affect electrolysis. The opposing surface is covered with a cylindrical body 5P formed of a synthetic resin heat-shrinkable tube so that the outer periphery of the three electrodes is covered with an insulating material. A sheet of three plate electrodes arranged at predetermined intervals via an insulating spacer 5B so that the plus electrode 6A and the minus electrode 6B are alternately arranged is inserted into the heat shrink tube, and the heat shrink tube is heated. By shrinking the tube, the heat shrinkable tube is brought into close contact with the periphery of the three electrodes, whereby the cylindrical body 5P is formed. As a result, an electrolysis chamber 5S serving as a water flow path is formed between the plus electrode 6A and the minus electrode 6B. The water present in the electrolysis chamber 5S is electrolyzed to generate ozone, and electrolysis as ozone water is performed. Water can be produced effectively. And when it sprays by the action | operation of the push type spray mechanism part 4 so that it may mention later, it becomes a cylindrical structure from which water does not flow through parts other than the electrolysis chamber 5S substantially.

  The axial lengths of the plus electrode 6 </ b> A and the minus electrodes 6 </ b> B on both sides thereof along the axial direction of the electrolysis unit 5 are approximately the length in the axial direction of the electrolysis unit 5. Moreover, the effective area which acts on the electrolysis of each opposing surface of 6 A of plus electrodes and the negative electrode 6B is substantially the same.

  The cylindrical body 5P is preferably an insulating material, and may be composed of a heat-shrinkable tube made of synthetic resin as described above, or may be composed of a synthetic resin molded product formed into a cylindrical shape or a non-cylindrical shape. . In any case, an electrolysis chamber 5S serving as a water flow path is formed between the plus electrode 6A and the minus electrode 6B, and a tube in which water does not flow substantially other than between the plus electrode 6A and the minus electrode 6B. What is necessary is just to be a shape structure.

  As described later, by applying a predetermined voltage (5.5 V to 5.6 V in the embodiment) to the electrode 6, water existing in the electrolysis chamber 5S between the plus electrode 6A and the minus electrode 6B is electrolyzed. Thus, ozone can be generated, and electrolyzed water as ozone water can be effectively generated.

  The axial lengths of the plus electrode 6 </ b> A and the minus electrodes 6 </ b> B on both sides thereof along the axial direction of the electrolysis unit 5 are approximately the length in the axial direction of the electrolysis unit 5. Moreover, the effective area which acts on the electrolysis of each opposing surface of 6 A of plus electrodes and the negative electrode 6B is substantially the same.

  As described above, the electrolysis water generation region is formed between the plate-like positive electrode 6A and the plate-like negative electrodes 6B on both sides thereof, and the water in the water tank unit 2 is sprayed by the operation of the spray mechanism unit 4. Since the flow path of the water flowing to the part 4 is formed, it is easy to form a flow path for flowing the water of the water tank part 2 to the spray mechanism part 4, and the compact configuration in which the electrolysis part 5 is arranged in the center of the water tank part 2 Can be achieved.

  Further, as described above, the axial lengths of the positive electrode 6A along the axial direction of the electrolysis unit 5 and the negative electrodes 6B on both sides thereof are approximately the length of the axial direction of the electrolysis unit 5. Moreover, since the electrolysis part 5 whole can be made into an electrolysis area | region, the whole length of the portable electrolyzed water sprayer 1 can be shortened.

  In addition, as described above, the electrode 6 has a configuration in which the opposing surfaces of the plate-like plus electrode 6A and the plate-like minus electrode 6B are electrolyzed water generating surfaces and the non-opposing surface is covered with an insulating material. The electrolyzed water generating action on the surface is effectively performed.

  In addition, as described above, since the effective areas acting on the electrolysis of the opposing surfaces of the plus electrode 6A and the minus electrode 6B are substantially the same, the cost of the electrodes can be reduced.

  Considering the ease of assembling the portable electrolyzed water sprayer 1, the power supply unit 3 is fixed to the water tank unit 2 via the annular packing 21 so as not to be removed by the screw coupling unit 22. It is connected to the watertight state. The power supply unit 3 includes a power supply battery 24, a control circuit unit 25, an LED 26, and the like in a synthetic resin casing 23.

Electrically connected so as to be supplied, power is supplied to the plus electrode 6A and the minus electrode 6B constituting the electrode 6. In the power supply unit 3, the outer surface of the housing 23 is covered with a metallic decorative body 28 such as aluminum for decoration. The LED 26 can be visually observed from the outside of the portable electrolyzed water sprayer 1 and is mounted in the housing 23 by a waterproof structure in which water does not enter.

  The battery 24 for power supply is a rechargeable AA or AAA rechargeable 1.2 volt to 1.5 volt secondary battery, and is detachably attached to the battery accommodating portion 23 </ b> A in the housing 23. The battery 24 for power supply is accommodated in the battery housing part 23 </ b> A formed in the housing 23, and then held in the housing 23 by attaching a battery cover 29 attached to the lower end of the power supply part 3 in a watertight state. In this holding state, by attaching the battery cover 29 to the housing 23, the power source battery 24 is set as a power source for the control circuit unit 25. The battery can be charged by removing the battery cover 29 and setting the power supply battery 24 in a predetermined charger with the power supply battery 24 removed from the power supply unit 3. In addition, the power supply battery 24 may be configured to be charged by electromagnetic induction (non-contact charging) by being set in a predetermined charger while being held in the housing 23. Alternatively, a method of charging the power source battery 24 directly from a direct current power source may be used. As shown in FIG. 2, a battery cover 29 </ b> A may be detachably provided on the side surface of the battery housing portion 23 </ b> A, and the power supply battery 24 may be detached from the power supply portion 3.

  In order to generate ozone water in the electrolysis unit 2, it is necessary to apply electric power of a predetermined voltage or higher to the positive electrode 6A and the negative electrode 6B. For this reason, the power supply battery 24 can obtain a high voltage by connecting a plurality of batteries in series. However, since the portable electrolyzed water sprayer 1 is enlarged, in the present invention, AA or AAA recharge is possible. One 1.2 volt to 1.5 volt secondary battery is used, and the voltage of the power source battery 24 is boosted by a booster circuit 25A to a predetermined voltage (in the embodiment, 5.5 volts to 5.6 volts) is applied. The control circuit unit 25 uses the power source battery 24 as a power source and applies the voltage of the power source battery 24 to a predetermined voltage in order to apply a voltage necessary for the generation of ozone water for sterilization in the electrolysis chamber 5S to the electrode 6. In the embodiment, a booster circuit 25A for boosting the voltage up to 5.5 volts to 5.6 volts is provided.

  The water tank portion 2 has an upper surface opening 2A formed in the upper portion, which becomes the water supply opening 2A. A push type spray mechanism 4 is detachably coupled to the upper part of the water tank 2 so as to open and close the water supply opening 2A. Specifically, when the spray mechanism portion 4 is attached to the water supply opening 2A side of the water tank portion 2, the water supply opening 2A is closed. Further, when the spray mechanism unit 4 is removed from the water tank unit 2, the water supply opening 2A is opened, and water can be supplied from the water supply opening 2A to the water tank unit 2.

The part 4 is detachably coupled to the water tank part 2 in a watertight state. The spray mechanism unit 4 has various forms, and commercially available products can be adopted. However, in the illustrated spray mechanism unit 4, the cylindrical push unit 4 </ b> P made of synthetic resin is kept in a watertight state by the annular packing 12.

  The electrolyzed water outlet path 7B has an electrolyzed water leakage prevention mechanism. As shown in FIG. 3, the electrolyzed water leakage preventing mechanism closes the electrolyzed water outlet path 7B by a ball 41 urged upward by a coil spring 40 when the push portion 4P is not pressed. Then, as shown in FIG. 3 to FIG. 5, by the pressing of the push part 4P, the extension part 4P1 pushes the ball 41 downward against the coil spring 40 to open the electrolyzed water outlet path 7B, and the electrolytic part as shown by the arrow 5 is configured such that the electrolyzed water 5 flows to the electrolyzed water outlet path 7 </ b> A of the spray mechanism 4. When the portable electrolyzed water sprayer 1 is turned upside down in a state where the push portion 4P is not pressed by the electrolyzed water leakage preventing mechanism, the electrolyzed water in the electrolyzed portion 5 does not leak from the nozzle 4A through the electrolyzed water outlet path 7.

Moreover, the electrolysis part 5 can also be seen through by comprising the cylindrical water tank part 2 and the cylindrical decorative cylinder 50 with a transparent member.

  The lower part of the cylindrical electrolysis part 5 is supported in a lower support part 17 </ b> A that is integrally formed in a rectangular ring shape on the upper surface of a later-described housing 23 of the power supply part 3. In the illustrated example, the lower support portion 17A is integrally formed with the housing 23, but a lower support portion 17A formed separately from the housing 23 may be attached to the upper surface of the housing 23. The inflow port 5E is formed so as to penetrate the lower support portion 17A, and the water communication in the water tank unit 2 and the electrolysis unit 5 is only the inflow port 5E.

  With respect to the assembly, the inner surface of the decorative cylinder 50 and the disk-like support portion 17C of the upper support portion 17B are in pressure contact with the upper portion of the cylindrical electrolysis portion 5 with the upper support portion 17B attached to the cylindrical electrolysis portion 5 in advance. Is supported. A plurality of through-holes 17P are formed in the support portion 17C, and the through-holes 17P are for passage of water injected from the water supply opening 2A into the water tank portion 2. The power supply unit 3 is fixedly coupled to the water tank unit 2 via the annular packing 21 at a screw coupling unit 22 so as not to be removed by the user.

  As described above, in the state where the tubular electrolysis unit 5 is supported in the water tank unit 2 by the lower support unit 17A and the upper support unit 17B, the spray mechanism unit 4 is removed from the water tank unit 2 and the water tank unit Water is supplied from the water supply opening 2 </ b> A to the water tank unit 2. At this time, the water flows down through the through-hole 17P of the support portion 17C, accumulates in the inner and outer regions of the decorative cylinder 50 through the water passage hole 50A, and is cylindrically electrolyzed from the lower inlet 5E. It also accumulates in the part 5. The amount of accumulated water can be visually observed from the transparent water tank 2. In this state, the spray mechanism unit 4 is attached to the water supply opening 2 </ b> A side of the water tank unit 2 by the screw coupling unit 11. With this attachment, the lower end portion of the communication passage member 13 is fitted in a watertight state to the upper support portion 17B attached to the upper portion of the tubular electrolysis portion 5, and the spray main body portion 4B and the water tank portion 2 are annular. A watertight state is achieved by the packing 10.

  As will be described later, in the state shown in FIG. 10, the push portion 4P biased upward from the main body portion 4B by the coil spring 8 is pushed up simultaneously by pushing down the nozzle cover 18 with a finger ( The extended portion 4P1 pushes the ball 41 downward against the coil spring 40 to open the electrolyzed water lead-out path 7B, and the air in the pump chamber 16 passes through the air introduction hole 9 by the air pressing portion 4P2 of the push portion 4P. From the position that has passed, pressurized air acts on the upper surface space AS of the water surface HL in the water tank section 2 through the communication passage 15, and the pressurized air causes water in the water tank section 2 to flow from the inlet 5E to the electrolysis section 5. It is pushed in. At the same time, the lower end opening 7A1 of the electrolyzed water outlet path 7A is opened by the enlarged diameter portion of the electrolyzed water outlet path 7B as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, so that the electrolyzed water outlet paths 7A and 7B communicate with each other. The electrolyzed water in the electrolyzing unit 5 is ejected from the nozzle 4A through the electrolyzed water outlet path 7. By stopping the push-down of the nozzle cover 18, the nozzle cover 18 is lifted together with the push portion 4 </ b> P by the coil spring 8. Therefore, by depressing the nozzle cover 18 again with a finger, the electrolytic water is ejected from the nozzle 4 </ b> A in the same manner as described above.

  When water is supplied to the water tank unit 2, the water tank unit 2 and the spray body unit are rotated by rotating the spray main body unit 4B in a direction in which the screw coupling unit 11 is disconnected from the water tank unit 2. The connection with 4B is released, and the lower end portion of the communication path member 13 is released from the upper support portion 17B attached to the upper portion of the tubular electrolysis portion 5. For this reason, the water supply opening 2A on the upper surface of the water tank portion 2 is opened, and water can be supplied from the water supply opening 2A to the water tank portion 2 in the same manner as described above.

  As described above, since the spray mechanism unit 4 and the upper part of the tubular electrolytic unit 5 are detachably connected by the upper support part 17B, the upper support part 17B can also be referred to as a connection part. In the above configuration, the upper part in the cylindrical electrolysis part 5 is supported by the decorative cylinder 50 via the disk-like support part 17C of the upper support part 17B. However, as shown in FIGS. The disc-shaped support portion 17C is not formed on the portion 17B, and the upper support portion 17B maintains the role as a connecting portion with the spray mechanism portion 4, while the upper portion of the tubular electrolysis portion 5 is separated from the upper support portion 17B. For this support, the second upper support portion 53 may be provided below the upper support portion 17B and supported in the decorative cylinder 50 via the second upper support portion 53. The upper support portion 53 is formed with a through-hole 53P for passing water that is poured into the water tank portion 2 from the water supply opening 2A.

  Thus, also in the case of support by the upper support portion 53, the spray mechanism portion 4 is connected to the tubular water tank portion 2 and the tubular electrolysis portion 5 so as to open and close the water supply opening 2A on the upper surface of the tubular water tank portion 2. The structure attached to and detached from the water tank and the water supply from the water supply opening 2A to the water tank 2 are the same as described above.

  A configuration in which the cylindrical decorative cylinder 50 is not provided is shown in FIG. In this, the lower part of the cylindrical electrolysis unit 5 is supported by a lower support part 17A provided at the bottom of the water tank part 2, and the upper part is supported in the water tank part 2 by the upper support part 17B. Specifically, the disc-like support portion 17C of the synthetic resin upper support portion 17B is in contact with the inner surface of the cylindrical water tank portion 2, and the upper portion of the cylindrical electrolysis portion 5 is supported by the water tank portion 2. Is done. Compared to the configuration of FIG. 3, the disk-shaped support portion 17C of the upper support portion 17B is larger, and the other configuration is the same as the configuration shown in FIG. The same reference numerals are attached.

  The battery 24 for power supply is a rechargeable AA or AAA rechargeable 1.2 volt to 1.5 volt secondary battery, and is detachably attached to the battery accommodating portion 23 </ b> A in the housing 23. The battery 24 for power supply is accommodated in the battery housing part 23 </ b> A formed in the housing 23, and then held in the housing 23 by attaching a battery cover 29 attached to the lower end of the power supply part 3 in a watertight state. In this holding state, the power source battery 24 is pressed by a spring 30 provided inside the battery cover 29, and power is supplied to the control circuit unit 25 using the power source battery 24 as a power source, and power can be supplied to the electrode 6. It becomes a state. The battery can be charged by removing the battery cover 29 and setting the power supply battery 24 in a predetermined charger with the power supply battery 24 removed from the power supply unit 3. As shown in FIG. 2, a battery cover 29 </ b> A may be detachably provided on the side surface of the battery housing portion 23 </ b> A, and the power supply battery 24 may be detached from the power supply portion 3.

  In order to generate ozone water in the electrolysis unit 2, it is necessary to apply electric power of a predetermined voltage or higher to the positive electrode 6A and the negative electrode 6B. For this reason, the power supply battery 24 can obtain a high voltage by connecting a plurality of batteries in series. However, since the portable electrolyzed water sprayer 1 is enlarged, in the present invention, AA or AAA recharge is possible. One secondary battery of 1.2 volts to 1.5 volts is used, and the voltage of the battery 24 for power supply is boosted by a boosting means, and a predetermined voltage is applied to the electrode 6 (in the embodiment, 5.5 volts to 5 volts). .6 volts). As shown in FIGS. 1 and 15, the control circuit unit 25 applies the voltage required for generating ozone water for sterilization in the electrolysis chamber 5 </ b> S to the electrode 6 as described above. Is used as a power source, and includes a booster circuit 25A for boosting the voltage of the power source battery 24 to a predetermined voltage (5.5 to 5.6 volts in the embodiment).

  When the portable electrolyzed water sprayer 1 is not used in a handbag or the like, in order to prevent the electrolysis water from being accidentally ejected from the spray mechanism part 4 by the push part 4P being pushed in some state, the spray mechanism part 4 is A nozzle cover 18 (also referred to as a cap 18) is attached so as to cover. An annular packing 19 is attached to the outer periphery of the main body portion 4B near the water tank portion 2, and the nozzle cover 18 is placed on the main body portion 4B so as to cover the push portion 4P, and in the direction of the water tank portion 2 as described later. By pushing, the nozzle cover 18 is held in pressure contact with the annular packing 19. In this state, the nozzle cover 18 can rotate with respect to the cylindrical main body portion 1A (cylindrical water tank portion 2), but has a configuration in which the holding that is not easily removable is achieved. In the present invention, the switch 27 is configured to be turned on and off by operating the nozzle cover 18.

  The switch 27 is composed of a fixed-side primary contact piece FT and a movable-side secondary contact piece ST, and the primary-side contact piece FT is a cylindrical main body 1A (tubular water tank portion 2). The plus side contact piece FT1 and the minus side contact piece FT2 are connected to the lead wire extending in the direction where the main body part 4B is provided. Further, the secondary side contact piece ST is configured by a conductive plate having a predetermined area attached to the inner peripheral surface of the nozzle cover 18. The primary side contact piece FT in the separated state is turned on (closed) by a short circuit due to the secondary side contact piece ST, and the primary side contact piece FT is opened and turned off by releasing this short circuit.

  Connection of the plus lead wire 58A extending to the cylindrical main body portion 1A and the lead wire to the plus side contact piece FT1 provided on the main body portion 4B, and the negative lead wire extending to the cylindrical main body portion 1A. The connection between the lead wire 58B and the lead wire to the minus side contact piece FT2 provided on the main body portion 4B is mutually connected by attaching the spray mechanism portion 4 to the cylindrical main body portion 1A. This is performed in the unit 57.

  When the portable electrolyzed water sprayer 1 is not used in a handbag or the like, the position of the nozzle cover 18 is a non-opposing position between the primary side contact piece FT and the secondary side contact piece ST as shown in FIG. The switch is not turned on, that is, the switch is kept off. In this state, the nozzle 4 </ b> A and the spray opening 18 </ b> A formed in the nozzle cover 18 do not match, and the nozzle 4 </ b> A is covered with the side wall of the nozzle cover 18.

  The nozzle cover 18 is formed with a notch 55 at a lower position corresponding to the spray opening 18A. On the other hand, on the upper end portion of the cylindrical main body portion 1A (the upper end portion of the water tank portion 2) or the side surface of the main body portion 4B. The positioning protrusion 56 for positioning is provided at a lower position corresponding to the nozzle 4A, and the positioning mark 56A indicated on the locking protrusion 56 corresponds to the positioning mark 55A indicated on the notch 55. In this state, the notch 55 corresponds to the locking projection 56. Even if the nozzle cover 18 is pushed down in the state shown in FIG. 12, the lower end of the nozzle cover 18 abuts against the locking projection 56 and the pushing down is prevented.

  In order to spray the electrolyzed water from this state, as shown in FIG. 10, the nozzle cover 18 is rotated so that the positioning mark 56A on the locking projection 56 side corresponds to the positioning mark 55A on the notch 55 side. As a result, the nozzle 4A and the spray opening 18A are brought into a matched state. In this state, the primary side contact piece FT short-circuits (closes) the secondary side contact piece ST, and the switch 27 is turned on. In this state, the electrolysis in the electrolysis unit 5 is performed, and the LED 26 emits light to indicate that the electrolysis is in progress. Therefore, the push unit 4P is simultaneously pushed up (pushed) by depressing the nozzle cover 18, and FIG. As shown, the primary side contact piece FT short-circuits (closes) the secondary side contact piece ST while the notch 55 is fitted to the locking projection 56, and the switch 27 remains in the ON state. Water is ejected from the nozzle 4A. Every time the nozzle cover 18 is pushed down in the state of FIG. 11, the electrolyzed water is ejected from the nozzle 4A.

  When the nozzle cover 18 is removed from the cylindrical main body 1A as shown in FIG. 9 or when the nozzle cover 18 is rotated as shown in FIG. 12, the positive side contact piece FT of the primary side contact piece FT is minus Since the side contact piece remains separated, the switch 27 is turned off, and no electrolysis is performed in the electrolysis unit 5. This state can be confirmed by the fact that the LED 26 is not emitting light.

  In the above description, the switch 27 is turned on and off depending on the rotation position of the nozzle cover 18. However, if the state of FIG. 10 is continued, the electrolytic operation is continuously performed in the electrolysis unit 5. If the user forgets to turn off the battery 24, the electric power of the battery 24 continues to be supplied to the electrode 6, so that the battery 24 is likely to run out. In order to prevent this, when the switch 27 is once turned on, the timer circuit 25B is connected to the control circuit unit 25 so that the electrode 6 is energized and the electrolysis is performed in the electrolysis unit 5 only for a predetermined time (for example, 10 seconds). And the energization of the electrode 6 may be terminated after the lapse of time. If the switch 27 is not turned on again, no electrolysis is performed in the electrolysis unit 5.

  As described above, since the electrolyzed water is sprayed for each push of the push part 4P (for each push), the push part 4P is pushed a plurality of times during the predetermined time (10 seconds in the embodiment). Thus, the electrolyzed water can be sprayed each time. Since the LED 26 emits light during the predetermined time (10 seconds in the embodiment), it can be seen that the electrolysis is performed in the electrolysis unit 5. The LED 26 is turned off (non-light-emitting) after the predetermined time (10 seconds in the embodiment), but the switch 27 is turned off once by the rotation of the nozzle cover 18, and then the switch 27 is turned on again. Since time (10 seconds in the embodiment) starts, electrolyzed water can be sprayed each time by pushing the push part 4P a plurality of times within this time.

  FIG. 15 shows an implementation circuit in which the control circuit unit 25 is provided with a booster circuit 25A and a timer circuit 25B. In FIG. 15, a timer circuit 25B includes a time constant element of a capacitor C and a resistor R, a transistor TR1 connected to the capacitor C, and a switching transistor TR2, and the power supply battery 24 is turned on by turning on the switch 27 as described above. The capacitor C is instantaneously charged by 1.2V to 1.5V, the transistor TR1 is turned on (conductive), and thereby the switching transistor TR2 is turned on (conductive). When the transistor TR2 is turned on (conductive), 1.5V of the power supply battery 24 is applied to the booster circuit 25A, and the operation of the booster circuit 25A causes 5.5 volts to 5 volts between the lines L1 and L2 (earth line). A voltage boosted to .6 volts appears, and this boosted voltage is applied between the positive electrode 6A and the negative electrode 6B, and sterilizing ozone water is generated in the electrolysis chamber 5S. Moreover, LED26 lights (light emission) by 5.5 volts-5.6 volts between line L1 and L2 (earth line), and the user can visually recognize that the ozone water for disinfection is being produced | generated.

  Capacitor C is charged only when switch 27 is turned on. By providing charging voltage application circuit 27C so that capacitor C is not charged even if switch 27 is kept on, the function of timer circuit 25B is improved. Come. Therefore, as described above, the switch 27ON causes the plus voltage of the battery 24 to be applied as the charging voltage to the capacitor C through the charging voltage applying circuit 27C, and the capacitor C is instantaneously charged to a predetermined voltage. Even when the switch 27 continues to be turned on, the charging voltage application circuit 27C turns off the application of the charging voltage, so that the voltage of the capacitor C gradually passes through the resistor R according to the time constant of the capacitor C and the resistor R. As a result of the discharge, the input level of the transistor TR1 decreases, and the transistor TR1 is finally turned off (non-conducting). When the transistor TR1 is turned off (non-conducting), the switching transistor TR2 is turned off (non-conducting), the application of 1.5V of the power supply battery 24 to the booster circuit 25A is stopped, and the voltage between the positive electrode 6A and the negative electrode 6B is stopped. Since the power supply is stopped, the generation of ozone water for sterilization in the electrolysis chamber 5S is stopped and the LED 26 is turned off (non-light emitting). In order to generate ozone water for sterilization again, the switch 27 may be turned off and then turned on again by the rotation of the nozzle cover 18.

  Thus, the time until the transistor TR1 is turned on (conductive) and turned off (non-conductive) is determined by the time constant of the capacitor C and the resistor R. In the embodiment, the predetermined time set as the timer operating time is 10 seconds. This time is a preferable time required for the user to spray the sterilizing ozone water to the target location, and is set shorter or longer by selecting the value of the capacitor C and the resistance R. Is also possible.

  As shown in FIG. 15, the booster circuit 25A includes a coil L1, a capacitor C1, a diode D1, an Nch Power CMOS transistor Q1, a switching regulator controller SR (S-8355M55MC manufactured by Seiko Instruments Inc.), resistors R1 to R4, The power supply battery 24 is applied with 1.5V through the switching transistor TR2, and the voltage booster circuit 25A operates to increase the voltage between 5.5 volts to 5 volts between the lines L1 and L2 (ground line). A voltage boosted to .6 volts appears.

  As described above, in order to apply a voltage necessary for generating ozone water for sterilization in the electrolytic chamber 5S to the electrode 6 by the booster circuit 25A, the battery 24 for the power source is AA of 1.2V to 1.5V or AAA batteries can be used, resulting in miniaturization. In addition, by supplying electricity to the electrode 6 only for a predetermined time (10 seconds in the embodiment) from when the switch 27 is turned on, electrolyzed water is generated only when sterilization is necessary, so that the life of the battery 24 extends over several years. Can be kept long.

  As described above, the timer circuit 25B operates by the operation of the switch 27, the booster circuit 25A as the boosting unit operates by the operation of the timer circuit 25B, and the predetermined power boosted to the electrode 6 is supplied. When the timer circuit 25B elapses for a predetermined time, the power supply to the booster circuit 25A is cut off, and the power consumption can be suppressed.

  Since the switch 27 is switched between the ON state and the OFF state depending on the rotational position of the nozzle cover 18 with respect to the cylindrical main body 1A, various forms can be made based on this principle.

  Further, when the portable electrolyzed water sprayer 1 is carried in a handbag or the like, the water in the water tank unit 2 is prevented from flowing out from the air introduction hole 9 and the bubbles in the water tank unit 2 are removed. The air introduction hole 9 is provided with a selection film 52 that allows air to pass but does not allow water to pass.

  In order to achieve miniaturization of the portable electrolyzed water sprayer 1, it is desired to reduce the size of the water tank unit 2, but considering the usability, the internal volume of the water tank unit 2 is several. It is necessary to secure the amount of water that can be sprayed 10 times.

  The portable electrolyzed water sprayer 1 of the present invention has an external cylindrical shape for convenience when carried in a handbag or the like. One such embodiment is shown in FIG. In this, the portable electrolyzed water sprayer 1 has a cylindrical water tank portion 2 and a power source portion 3 formed of transparent acrylic in a cylindrical shape with a diameter of 22 mm, and a nozzle cover 18 has a cylindrical shape with a diameter of 17 mm. The length of the power supply unit 3 is 78 mm, the length of the tank unit 2 is 53 mm, and the total length of the portable electrolyzed water sprayer 1 is 163 mm.

  As shown in FIG. 7, in this case, as shown in FIG. 7, three plate-like electrodes are arranged opposite to each other so that the plus electrode 6A and the minus electrode 6B are alternately arranged, and the middle plate-like electrode is a plus electrode 6A. The plate-like electrodes on both sides are defined as negative electrodes 6B, and the outer periphery of the three electrodes is covered with a heat shrinkable tube made of synthetic resin to form a cylindrical body 5P. The voltage applied to the electrode 6 is 5.5 volts to 5.6 volts by boosting an AA or AAA battery 24 of 1.2 volts to 1.5 volts by a booster circuit. The areas of the facing surfaces of the positive electrode 6A and the negative electrode 6B that substantially generate electrolyzed water are each 1.5 square centimeters, and the distance between the positive electrode 6A and the negative electrode 6B is within a range of 0.1 mm to 1 mm. By maintaining the interval of, the electrolytic unit 5 is reduced in size, and a predetermined concentration of ozone water and a predetermined spray amount (0.1 milliliter in the embodiment) are ensured.

  In this case, the amount of water stored in the tank unit 2 in a full tank is 10 milliliters, which is several tens of times the amount of one spray, and the water stored in the electrolysis chamber 5S of the electrolysis unit 5 when the tank is full. The amount is 0.06 milliliters less than a single spray amount. For this reason, the amount of water slightly larger than the amount of electrolyzed water in the electrolysis chamber 5S is pushed into the electrolysis unit 5 from the tank unit 2 through the inflow port 5E by one spraying operation. The entire amount of the electrolyzed water is pushed out from the electrolysis chamber 5S to the spray mechanism unit 4. For this reason, the electrolyzed water between the positive electrode 6A and the negative electrode 6B completely replaces, and at the same time, bubbles on the surface of the negative electrode 6B also flow to the upper spraying mechanism unit 4 in the subsequent spraying. Regular electrolyzed water not included can be sprayed from the nozzle 4A.

  The battery 24 may be any battery that has a large output and can be used for several months to several years with a single full charge.

  The metallic decorative body 28 on the outer surface of the power supply unit 3 is an opaque material formed of aluminum whose outer surface is chemically textured for a design effect.

  The portable electrolyzed water sprayer 1 can be carried in a handbag or the like. However, as shown in FIG. 1, the portable electrolyzed water sprayer 1 can be used if a strap locking ring 51 is provided on the upper outer surface of the tank unit 2. A person can attach an arbitrary strap.

  In the above configuration, the nozzle cover 18 is provided with the notch 55, on the upper end portion of the cylindrical water tank portion 2 or on the side surface of the main body portion 4B of the spray mechanism portion 4, at a lower position corresponding to the nozzle 4A of the spray mechanism portion 4. The positioning projection 56 is provided, and the electrification unit 5 is energized with the latching projection 56 and the notch 55 corresponding to each other. Provided on the upper end of the water tank 2 or the side surface of the main body 4B of the spray mechanism 4 is a tip-end circular locking projection that replaces the locking projection 56, and on the lower part of the inner surface of the nozzle cover 18, A longitudinal groove communicates with one end of the arc-shaped groove to form an L-shaped guide groove as a whole. By fitting using the slight elasticity of 18, the nozzle cover 18 To arcuate (in the left-right direction) rotates in the circumferential direction in the range of the groove can be configured to be held in difficult spots upward. Similarly to the above, the primary side contact piece FT short-circuits (closes) the secondary side contact piece ST at the first position where the nozzle 4A and the spray opening 18A coincide with each other, and the switch 27 is closed. In this state, the tip circular engagement protrusion is positioned at the lower end of the vertical groove of the guide groove, and the push portion 4P is pushed together with the nozzle cover 18, thereby the tip circular engagement protrusion. Moves along the longitudinal groove of the guide groove and sprays electrolyzed water from the nozzle 4A. Then, at the second position where the nozzle 4A and the spray opening 18A do not coincide with each other, the primary side contact piece FT is detached (opened) from the secondary side contact piece ST, and the switch 27 is turned OFF. The shape latching protrusion is displaced from the longitudinal direction of the guide groove and is positioned at one end of the arc-shaped groove, and the push portion 4P cannot be pushed together with the nozzle cover 18.

  In the above case, the electrolysis unit 5 generates ozone to generate electrolyzed water that is ozone water. However, if an electrode for hypochlorous acid generation is used, water containing chloride ions is interposed between the electrodes. It is also possible to store and electrolyze this water to generate hypochlorous acid to generate electrolyzed water that is hypochlorous acid water. When hypochlorous acid water is produced, water used is restricted, such as tap water containing chloride ions, so the place where water is supplied is limited, but when ozone water is produced, the type of water is Because it does not matter, it can be replenished anywhere where there is water, improving convenience in use. In addition, when using a disinfectant solution such as alcohol, it is necessary to carry a disinfectant solution for replenishment, but when generating ozone water, it is not necessary and can be replenished anywhere where water is present. .

  Since the portable electrolyzed water sprayer 1 has been used for a long time, scales such as calcium adhere to the surface of the electrode 6 and the electrolysis action is hindered. By immersing the electrode 6 by putting in, the scale such as calcium adhered to the surface of the electrode 6 can be removed.

  The portable electrolyzed water sprayer according to the present invention is not limited to the configuration shown in the above-described embodiment, but can be applied to various forms, and includes various forms within the technical scope of the present invention. .
