Abstract

PURPOSE:To control the formation ratio of water contg. alkali ion to acidic water, by dividing the line of supplying water from the first electric insulating means to an electrolytic cell into two routes, communicating the routes to anode and cathode chambers, and increasing a flow amount in one of the routes. CONSTITUTION:Water poured into a water intake cell 3a is introduced through routes 5, 5' into each of a chamber 2c' provided with an anode 2c and a chamber 2a' provided with a cathoe 2a, and subjected to electrolyzing and electroosmotic reactions through a bisque partition wall 5b during flowing from the upside to the downside inside and electrolytic cell 2. Consequently, alkali ion water is formed outside the biscuit partition wall 2b, while acidic water is formed inside. The water is supplied to either one or both of separated chambers 3d from which the water is not discharged, but not supplied to the separated chamber from which the water is being discharged. As a result, a short circuit to a water-supply nozzle 3f is not formed even when the water is continuously supplied to the electrolytic cell 2.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a water flow rate control mechanism in a continuous water electrolysis device for producing alkaline ionized water primarily for drinking.

In this type of continuous water electrolysis device, the electric current for electrolysis must be prevented from leaking from the water source (for example, a water pipe) or from the end (faucet) of 1 mK. For this reason, water is supplied to the electrolytic cell via electrically insulating means, and water is taken out from the electrolytic cell via electrically insulating means. In such a continuous water electrolysis device that takes safety into consideration, a problem is that the amounts of alkaline ionized water and acidic water used vary depending on the time. If you are using a large amount of alkaline ionized water, do not use acidic water.
If water is not required, it is desirable to reduce the amount of acidic water even if the pH value is significantly reduced. On the other hand, when a large amount of acidic water is required, it is desirable to reduce the amount of alkaline ionized water, even if the amount of water becomes significantly higher.

Controlling the rate of K and water production in the above-mentioned continuous water electrolysis device is a great way to avoid wasting water! 'is.

This invention was made based on the above circumstances,
The present invention aims to provide a water flow rate control mechanism in a continuous water electrolysis device that is capable of controlling the ratio of alkaline ionized water and acidic water produced by providing a simple flow rate control means in the water supply path from the electrically insulating means to the electrolytic cell. It is something to do.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be specifically explained based on illustrated embodiments. In the figure, reference numeral 1 is a picture body of a water electrolyzer, and the body IV'3 is equipped with a long electrolytic cell 2, a first electrically insulating means 3, and a second electrically insulating means 4. There is.

The electrolytic cell 2 has a cylindrical negative pole 2a arranged in an inner space surrounded by its outer wall, and a cylindrical unglazed partition wall 2b' arranged inside concentrically with the negative electrode 2a. , a rod-shaped positive electrode 11j2c disposed inside the bisque partition wall 2b.
and a top plate 2d and a bottom plate 2e provided at the upper and lower ends of the outer wall. The bottom plate 2e is provided with water inlets 2f and 2g located on the inside and outside of the bisque partition wall 2b and communicated with the electrolytic cell 2, and the top plate ZdK is also provided with water inlets 2f and 2g located on the inside and outside of the bisque partition wall 2b. Water groove outlets 2 located on the inside and outside 91 and communicating with the electrolytic cell 2
h and 21 are provided.

The electrical insulating means 3 and 4 are each equipped with water receiving tanks 3a and 4a and 4a', and the water receiving tanks 3a and 4at4a' are equipped with a water separator 3C rotatably driven by inclined shafts 3b and 4b and 4b'. and 4e%4e' are arranged. The above water separators 3C and 4cb4c'
is equipped with n-th (the number must be 3 or more) separation chambers 3d and 4d14d' which are divided into n-th order (the number must be 3 or more) by walls extending in the rotation direction and radial direction, and above the separation wall is , mountain-shaped watershed members 3e, 4e, and 4e'. Water supply nozzles 3f and 4f' are electrically distributed above the water separators 3C and 4ch4e' above the inclined shafts 3b, 4b, and 4b'. Maku,
The water receiving tanks 3a and 4ab4a' are provided with routes 5, 6, and C of the A2 system, respectively, and the above &
*5. The water supply nozzles 4f and 4f' are connected to the water inlets 2f and 2g of the electrolytic cell 2, and the passages 6 and d are connected to the snake lower and τ, respectively. 8
, to the water groove outlets 2h and 21 of the electrolyzer 4t12.

Furthermore, a valve mechanism 9 is provided at the inlet portion of the passage 5,5' to adjust the flow cross-sectional area of the flow rate control means L7, respectively. The valve mechanism 9 includes the path 5,
Two valve ports 9 a h 9 m each communicating with n
', and a fan-shaped valve plate 9b that controls the opening of the valve ports 9a, 9a', and the valve plate 9b is pivoted on a pivot 9C and rotates left and right. The opening degree of one is completely decreased and the opening degree of the other is increased.

Note that the level of the water receiving tank must be positioned above the electrolytic cell 2 so that the water level in the pipe line 8 is lower than the water level in the water receiving tank 3&.

In such a configuration, a DC voltage is applied between the electrodes 2a and 2e, water is brought onto the water separator 3C from the water supply nozzle 3f, and the separator 3c'jk is driven by the rotation of the inclined shaft 3b. If you keep it in order, the water that has entered the smaci will be under the inclined shaft 3b.

At the side, it is discharged into the water receiving tank 3a. The water supply is
The water is supplied to one or both of the separation chambers 3d that are not being discharged, but there is no water to the separation chamber that is being discharged, so it is electrically cut off, and the water receiving tank 31 is Even if nine water pipes are continuously introduced into the electrolytic cell 2, there will be no electrical leakage to the water supply nozzle 3f. In particular, each separation chamber is electrically isolated by the function of the watershed member, so that such a strong electrical insulation effect can be achieved.

The water that has entered the water tank 3& passes through the path 5.5' to the room 2C' where the anode 2C is located and the room 2 where the anode 21 is located.
In the process of flowing from bottom to top in the electrolytic hinoki 2, it is subjected to electrolysis and electropermeation through the unglazed partition wall 2b. Then, alkaline ionized water is generated on the outside of the unglazed partition wall 2b, and acidic water is generated on the inside. The produced alkaline ionized water and acidic water are each brought to the water supply nozzle 4t%4f' through the pipe line 8%, and the second electrically insulating means 4 injects the straw 1 into It is treated in the same manner as the electrically insulating means 3, and is received in the water receiving tanks 4a and 411' while being electrically isolated from the electrolytic cell.

In this case, the opening degree of the valve port 9 & can be increased by operating the valve plate 9b.
Ru. When the application of the DC voltage is increased in proportion to the increase in the amount of flow to the chamber 2a/, the concentration of alkaline ionized water is maintained without decreasing despite the flow rate control by the valve mechanism 9.

On the other hand, #f of acidic water will increase significantly due to the increase in voltage and decrease in flow rate, but since it is not needed at this point, there is no problem, and the amount of water that is wasted will be saved. It turns out. If the valve plate 9b is reversely operated to reduce the opening degree of the valve port 9a' and to increase the opening FtLt-n of the valve port 91, the flow rate of acidic water will increase.n1 The flow rate of alkaline ionized water will increase. is reduced. Such control is preferably used when using acidic water.

In the above embodiment, a valve mechanism was used as the flow rate control means, but as shown in FIG. It goes without saying that the relative flow rates of both class passages 5 and DA may be controlled by controlling the flow rate to the route 5 side by controlling the flow rate to the route 5 side by controlling the level of the route 5 by raising and lowering the level of the route 5. It is.

As described in detail above, the present invention supplies water to an electrolytic cell through the first electrically insulating means, and supplies alkaline ionized water and acidic water produced from the top of the electrolytic cell to each of the first electrically insulating means. 2
In a device in which water is taken out through an electrically insulating means, the route for supplying water from the first electrically insulating means to the electrolytic cell is divided into two routes, and each of the two routes is connected to the cathode chamber of the electrolytic cell.
and communicates with the anode chamber, and a flow rate control means is provided in the above path, so that when the flow rate t of one path is increased, the flow rate of the other path is decreased. It is possible to obtain a large amount of water, reduce the amount of water on the unnecessary side and eliminate water waste, and achieve great economic efficiency in continuous water generation. .
