Abstract
Description
본 발명은 농산물, 리넨제품(linen), 식기류, 조리기구, 화장실 등의 세척에 있어서, 세척제를 사용하지 않고도 세척효과를 충분히 향상시키고, 또한 산화를 억제하기 위하여 물을 사용할 수 있는 전해수의 생성장치에 관한 것이다.The present invention is an apparatus for producing electrolyzed water that can use water to sufficiently improve the cleaning effect and to suppress oxidation in the cleaning of agricultural products, linens, dishes, cooking utensils, toilets, etc. without using a cleaning agent. It is about.
종래의 전해수 생성장치는 양극판과 음극판 사이의 이온투과성 격막을 전해조 내에 배치하여 원수(原水)를 전기분해한다 (예를 들면, 특개소54-72774호 공보참조). 원수로서 사용되는 수돗물 또는 지하수(우물물) 등에는 수소이온, 칼슘이온, 마그네슘이온 등의 양이온과, 수산(水酸)이온, 염소이온 등의 음이온이 존재한다.The conventional electrolytic water generating device arranges an ion permeable membrane between an anode plate and a cathode plate in an electrolytic cell to electrolyze raw water (for example, see Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 54-72774). In tap water or ground water (well water) used as raw water, cations such as hydrogen ions, calcium ions, and magnesium ions, and anions such as hydroxyl ions and chlorine ions are present.
음전극 측에서는 수소이온이 흡인되어 수소가스가 발생함과 동시에, 칼슘 및 마그네슘이온 등의 양이온이 흡인되어 전극면에 칼슘이나 마그네슘 등과 같은 스케일(scale)이 석출(析出)된다. 이때 음극 주위에서는 수소이온이 음극으로부터의 전자와 결합하여 수소가스가 되어 방출되므로 써, 수소이온이 감소하므로 알칼리수가 생성된다.On the negative electrode side, hydrogen ions are attracted to generate hydrogen gas, and cations such as calcium and magnesium ions are attracted to precipitate a scale such as calcium or magnesium on the electrode surface. At this time, around the cathode, hydrogen ions are combined with electrons from the cathode to be released as hydrogen gas, so that the hydrogen ions are reduced, thereby generating alkaline water.
한편, 양전극 측에서는, 수산이온과 염소이온 등이 흡인되어 산소가스나 염소가스가 발생된다. 이때 양극 주위에서는, 수산이온이 전자를 양전극으로 방출하여 산소가스로 되어 감소하므로 산성수가 생성된다.On the other hand, on the positive electrode side, hydroxyl ions, chlorine ions and the like are attracted to generate oxygen gas or chlorine gas. At this time, around the anode, acidic water is generated because the hydroxyl ions are released to the positive electrode and become oxygen gas.
일반적으로, 전술한 바와 같이 생성된 알칼리수는 혈액이나 체액의 산성화를 방지한다고 알려져서 음료수 또는 조리용수로서 사용되고 있다. 또한, 세제도 용해하기 쉽고 세척효과에 적합하다고 말하고 있다.In general, the alkaline water generated as described above is known to prevent acidification of blood or body fluids and is used as a drink or cooking water. In addition, the detergent is said to be easy to dissolve and suitable for the washing effect.
한편, 산성수는 살균작용을 한다고 알려져서, 손과 얼굴을 닦거나, 목욕수로서 사용되고 있다. 그러나, 산성수는 알칼리수와 수도수에 비하여 지방질과 같은 오염물에 대한 침투성이 약하다. 따라서, 표면살균은 가능하지만 세균이 포함된 지방질을 제거하기 위한 세척수로서는 적합하다고 할 수 없다.On the other hand, acidic water is known to have a bactericidal action, and is used as a bath or water for washing hands and face. However, acidic water is less permeable to contaminants such as fat than alkaline and tap water. Therefore, although surface sterilization is possible, it cannot be said to be suitable as washing water for removing fat containing bacteria.
즉, 종래의 전해수 생성장치에서는 알칼리수를 생성함과 동시에, 세척에 부적합한 산성수도 생성한다. 따라서, 세정용 물의 생성장치로서는 낭비가 있어 효율적이거나 그렇지 않다고 할 수 없다.That is, in the conventional electrolytic water generator, alkaline water is generated, and acidic water, which is not suitable for washing, is also generated. Therefore, there is a waste as the generating device of the water for cleaning, and it cannot be said that it is efficient or not.
세차용 이온수라고 칭하여 전해수를 생성하는 종래예에서는 전기석이라고 하는 돌마린광석을 세라믹과 함께 소결시키고, 거기에 물을 작용시킴으로써 전해수를 생성하는 장치도 있다. 그러나 돌마린에 의한 전기분해는 극미량으로 다량의 물을 처리하는 것은 현실적으로 불가능하다.In the conventional example of generating electrolytic water by calling the ionized water for washing, there is also an apparatus for generating electrolytic water by sintering a dolmarin ore called tourmaline together with a ceramic and acting water thereon. However, it is practically impossible to treat a large amount of water in electrolysis by dolmarins.
따라서, 본 발명의 목적은 알칼리수나 산성수를 생성하는 것이 아니고, 물을 강력하게 전기분해하여 pH값이 중성상태에서도 세척효과를 향상시킬 수 있는 전해수를 생성하는 장치를 제공하는 것이다.Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide an apparatus for producing electrolyzed water, which does not generate alkaline water or acidic water, but can electrolytically decompose water to improve the washing effect even when the pH value is neutral.
상기 목적을 달성하기 위하여, 본 발명은 물 또는 수용액으로부터 전해수를 생성하는 전해수 생성장치로서, 전해조와 물 또는 수용액을 상기 전해조로 압송하는 도입관과, 상기 전해조 안에 수직 또는 경사를 이루는 면을 연하여 배치된 양극판과, 상기 양극판에 대략 평행하게 대면하여 배치된 음극판과, 상기 전해조 안에서 생성된 전해수를 전해조로부터 배출하는 도출관으로 구성되어 있으며, 상기 음극판에는 다수의 관통구멍이 형성되어 있는 전해수 생성장치이다. 또한, 상기 음극판이 양극판에 근접하여 배치되므로 써, 양쪽의 전극판 사이는 협소한 유로가 형성되며, 상기 도입관으로부터 물 또는 수용액을 상기 관통구멍으로 지향시키기 위한 방향조절장치를 설치하여, 그 방향조절장치에 의하여 상기 관통구멍으로부터 유로 안으로 물 또는 수용액이 유입되어 상기 유로 내에서 액체가 유동하도록 되어있다.In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is an electrolyzed water generating device for producing electrolyzed water from water or an aqueous solution, the electrolytic cell and the introduction tube for transporting water or an aqueous solution into the electrolytic cell, and the vertical or inclined plane in the electrolytic cell by An anode plate disposed, a cathode plate disposed to face substantially parallel to the anode plate, and a discharge pipe for discharging the electrolyzed water generated in the electrolytic cell from the electrolytic cell, wherein the cathode plate has a plurality of through holes formed therein. to be. Further, since the negative electrode plate is disposed in close proximity to the positive electrode plate, a narrow flow path is formed between the electrode plates on both sides, and a direction adjusting device for directing water or an aqueous solution from the introduction pipe to the through hole is provided. Water or an aqueous solution flows into the flow path from the through hole by the adjusting device so that the liquid flows in the flow path.
물분자는 수소결합에 의하여 클러스터(cluster: 복수개의 분자가 응집하여 형성되는 분자의 집합체)를 형성하여, 거대분자(巨大分子)와 같은 성질을 나타낸다고 알려져 있다. 그러나, 물을 전기분해하면, 다음 (1), (2), (3) 식으로 표시하는 화학반응에 의하여 물분자는 산소가스, 수소가스 및 새로운 물분자를 생성한다.Water molecules are known to form clusters (aggregates of molecules formed by agglomeration of a plurality of molecules) by hydrogen bonds and exhibit properties such as macromolecules. However, when water is electrolyzed, water molecules produce oxygen gas, hydrogen gas and new water molecules by chemical reactions represented by the following formulas (1), (2) and (3).
H2O → H++ OH-…(1) H 2 O → H + + OH - ... (One)
2H++ 2e-→ H2…(2) 2H + + 2e - → H 2 ... (2)
4OH-→ 4e-+ O2+ 2H2O …(3) 4OH - → 4e - + O 2 + 2H 2 O ... (3)
이와 같은 화학반응을 일으켜서 클러스터는 파괴된다. 이에 따라 물의 표면장력은 감소하여 계면활성효과가 증대하고, 오염물질에 대한 침투성이 향상된다. 또한 생성된 전해수에는 수소가스와 산소가스 등의 미세한 기포를 풍부히 함유하고 있기 때문에, 캐비테이션 작용(발생된 기포가 핵(核)이 되어 무수한 진공에 가까운 미세공동(微細空洞)이 발생하여, 이 공동들이 파괴될 때 충격력을 발생한다)에 의하여 더럽혀진 세척물로부터 오물을 제거하기 쉽게 하여준다.This chemical reaction causes the cluster to break down. As a result, the surface tension of water is reduced to increase the surface active effect, and the permeability to contaminants is improved. In addition, since the produced electrolyzed water contains abundant fine bubbles such as hydrogen gas and oxygen gas, the cavitation action (the generated bubbles become nuclei, and microcavities close to innumerable vacuum are generated. They create an impact force when they are destroyed), making it easier to remove dirt from the dirty soil.
또한 전기분해에 의하여, 수돗물의 표면장력은 0.0722N/m로부터 0.0716N/m 정도까지 저하시킬 수 있다는 것이 확인되었다.Moreover, it was confirmed that the surface tension of tap water can be reduced from 0.0722N / m to about 0.0716N / m by electrolysis.
본 발명에 있어서는, 물 또는 수용액을 원수로서 사용한다. 이때 상기 (1)∼(3)식의 화학반응을 얻기 위해서는 원수의 도전성이 필요하며, 따라서, 원수 자체에 이온이 포함되어 있을 필요 때문에 물로서는 순수(증류수)를 사용할 수 있지만, 일반적으로, 수돗물과 우물물을 사용할 수 있다. 또한 수용액으로서는 식염이나 구연산을 첨가한 수용액을 사용할 수도 있다.In the present invention, water or an aqueous solution is used as raw water. At this time, in order to obtain the chemical reaction of the above formulas (1) to (3), conductivity of raw water is required. Therefore, pure water (distilled water) can be used as water because the raw water itself needs to contain ions. And well water can be used. Moreover, as aqueous solution, the aqueous solution which added salt and citric acid can also be used.
물의 전기분해량은 전극에 흐르는 전류값에 비례한다. 따라서, 강력한 전기분해를 실시하기 위해서는 전류값을 가능한 한 크게 할 필요가 있다. 그러므로, 본 발명에서는 인가전압(印加電壓)을 크게 상승시키지 않고 전류의 크기를 증가시키기 때문에, 전극 사이의 간격을 작게 한다. 상기 전극간의 간격은 일반적으로 3.0mm 이하로 하는 것이 바람직하며, 보다 바람직하게는 0.5mm∼2mm 정도로 한다. 이와 같은 관점에서, 복수의 전극유닛을 설치하여 전극의 면적을 크게 하는 것이 바람직하다.The amount of electrolysis of water is proportional to the current flowing through the electrode. Therefore, in order to perform strong electrolysis, it is necessary to make current value as large as possible. Therefore, in the present invention, since the magnitude of the current is increased without significantly increasing the applied voltage, the distance between the electrodes is reduced. It is preferable that the space | interval between the said electrodes is generally 3.0 mm or less, More preferably, it is about 0.5 mm-2 mm. In view of this, it is preferable to provide a plurality of electrode units to increase the area of the electrodes.
양극판과 음극판은 서로 대면하여 대략 평행한 평면으로 배치하므로 써, 전극 사이의 간격을 대략 일정하게 유지하여, 전극판의 표면이 균등하게 전기분해 작용을 하도록 한다.Since the positive electrode plate and the negative electrode plate are disposed in substantially parallel planes facing each other, the spacing between the electrodes is kept substantially constant, so that the surface of the electrode plate can have an electrolytic action evenly.
또한, "대면(對面)"이라는 용어는 양극판과 음극판 사이에 격막(隔膜)이 설치되지 않는다는 것을 의미한다.In addition, the term "face" means that no diaphragm is provided between the positive electrode plate and the negative electrode plate.
한편, 전극 사이의 간격을 작게 하면, 그 간격 내에 원수의 유입이 곤란하게된다. 따라서, 본 발명에 있어서는, 음극판에 다수의 관통구멍을 형성시켜, 전극 사이의 유로에 물이 유입하기 쉬운 구조로 되어있다. 또한, 원수를 음극판의 관통구멍에 지향시키는 방향조절장치를 설치하여, 전극간의 유로에 물이 주입되도록 하였다. 이러한 방향조절장치로서는 도입관에 다수의 노즐을 형성시키는 방법이 바람직하다.On the other hand, if the interval between the electrodes is reduced, the inflow of raw water becomes difficult within that interval. Therefore, in this invention, many through-holes are formed in a negative electrode plate, and water is easy to flow in the flow path between electrodes. In addition, a direction adjusting device for directing raw water to the through-holes of the negative electrode plate was provided so that water was injected into the flow path between the electrodes. As such a direction adjusting device, a method of forming a plurality of nozzles in the introduction pipe is preferable.
물이 상기 두 전극판 사이의 유로에 들어가면, 이물은 기포와 함께 유로 속을 유동하여 다른 관통구멍이나 전극판 사이를 지나 위쪽 간격으로부터 유출된다. 따라서, 상기 기포를 포함하는 물이 유동하기 쉽도록 두 개의 전극판을 수평으로 배치하지 않고, 수직면 내지 경사면을 따라 배치한다.When water enters the flow path between the two electrode plates, foreign matter flows in the flow path with bubbles and flows out from the upper gap through another through hole or between the electrode plates. Therefore, the two electrode plates are disposed along the vertical plane or the inclined plane without horizontally arranged so that the water including the bubbles easily flows.
물을 전기분해할 때에는 수소가스와 산소가스의 미세한 기포가 발생한다. 이와 같이 발생된 미세한 기포가 핵이 되어 진공에 가까운 무수한 미세공동들이 발생하여, 이 미세공동들이 붕괴할 때 충격력이 발생한다. 이러한 현상은 캐비테이션이라고 부르며, 이러한 미세기포가 붕괴할 때 발생하는 에너지가 세척력으로서 유효한 작용을 하게된다. 따라서 본 발명에서는 이러한 미세기포들이 전해조 속에 남아있지 않고 전해수와 함께 배출되도록 도출관을 전해조의 상부에 개구부를 형성시켜 전해조의 위쪽으로부터 전해수를 취수한다.When water is electrolyzed, fine bubbles of hydrogen gas and oxygen gas are generated. The microbubbles generated in this way become nuclei, and numerous microcavities close to a vacuum are generated, and an impact force is generated when these microcavities collapse. This phenomenon is called cavitation, and the energy generated when the microbubbles collapse is effective as a cleaning force. Therefore, in the present invention, the discharge tube is formed in the upper part of the electrolytic cell so that the microbubbles are discharged together with the electrolyzed water without being left in the electrolytic cell, and the electrolytic water is taken from the upper part of the electrolytic cell.
음극판에는 칼슘 및 마그네슘 등의 스케일이 석출되어 점차로 전류의 흐름을 방해하여, 전기분해 효율이 저하된다. 따라서, 전해수 생성장치의 일정시간 가동 후, 또는 가동하지 않는 시간대에 전극에 인가되는 전압의 플러스와 마이너스를 자동 또는 수동으로 변환하므로 써, 전극면에 부착된 스케일을 벗겨 제거해 줄 필요가 있다. 벗겨진 스케일은 전해조의 밑바닥에 침전하기 때문에, 전해조로부터 스케일을 제거하기 위해서는 전해조의 밑바닥에 드레인(drain)을 설치한다. 또한 벗겨져서 전극면에 걸려있는 스케일은 방향조절장치에 의하여 원수가 주입될 때 제거될 수 있다.Scales, such as calcium and magnesium, are deposited on the negative electrode plate to gradually hinder the flow of electric current, thereby degrading electrolysis efficiency. Therefore, it is necessary to peel off and remove the scale attached to the electrode surface by automatically or manually converting the plus and minus of the voltage applied to the electrode after a certain time of operation of the electrolytic water generating device or during a non-operating time period. Since the peeled scale precipitates at the bottom of the electrolytic cell, a drain is provided at the bottom of the electrolytic cell to remove the scale from the electrolytic cell. Also, the peeled off scale and hanging on the electrode surface can be removed when raw water is injected by the direction controller.

본 발명의 실시형태를 첨부도면을 이용하여 설명하면 아래와 같다.An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
도1은 본 발명의 전해수 생성장치의 제1실시예를 도시한 것이다.Figure 1 shows a first embodiment of the electrolytic water generating device of the present invention.
전해조(1) 속에는 한 쌍의 전극유닛(U)이 장치되어 있다. 각 전극유닛(U)은 다수의 관통구멍(50)이 형성된 음극판(2a, 2b)과, 그 음극판(2a, 2b)으로부터 일정한 간격(△)을 띄우고 대면하는 양극판(3a, 3b)으로 구성되어 있다. 이들 각 전극판(2a, 3a) 및 (2b, 3b)들은 각각 서로 대면하고 있고, 동시에 대략 수직면을 따라 평행하게 배치되어 있다. 서로 대향하는 음극판(2a, 2b)들의 사이에는 도입관(4)이 장치되며, 이때 도입관(4)은 전해조(1)의 아래쪽으로부터 위로 향하여 설치되어 있다. 상기 전해조(1)의 하부에는 전해조(1) 안의 물을 배출하기 위한 배출관(5)이 상기 전해조(1)에 연결되어 있다. 상기 전해조(1)의 위쪽에는 생성된 전해수를 도출하기 위한 도출관(6)이 설치되어 있다.In the electrolytic cell 1, a pair of electrode units U is provided. Each electrode unit U is composed of negative electrode plates 2a and 2b having a plurality of through holes 50 formed therein, and positive electrode plates 3a and 3b facing each other at a predetermined interval Δ from the negative electrode plates 2a and 2b. have. Each of these electrode plates 2a, 3a and 2b, 3b faces each other and is arranged in parallel along a substantially vertical plane at the same time. An introduction tube 4 is provided between the negative electrode plates 2a and 2b facing each other, and the introduction tube 4 is provided upward from the bottom of the electrolytic cell 1. A discharge pipe 5 for discharging water in the electrolytic cell 1 is connected to the electrolytic cell 1 in the lower part of the electrolytic cell 1. Above the electrolytic cell 1 is provided with a discharge pipe 6 for deriving the generated electrolyzed water.
상기 도입관(4)에는 음극판(2a)의 표면으로 물을 분출하는 다수의 노즐(4a)들이 장치되어 있고, 상기 도입관(4)으로부터 물을 전해조(1) 안으로 압송하면 도입관(4)에 장치된 다수의 노즐(4a)로부터 음극판(2a, 2b)을 향하여 물이 토출(吐出)된다. 이렇게 하여 노즐(4a)로부터 관통구멍(50)을 통하여 양극판(3a, 3b)과 음극판(2a, 2b) 사이의 물이 유입된다. 이와 같이 유입된 물은 상기 간격에 의하여형성된 유로(51)를 통하여 양쪽의 전극판을 따라 위로 유동하거나, 또는 다른 관통구멍(50)으로부터 양쪽의 음극판(2a, 2b) 사이로 유출된다. 상기 도입관(4)의 상단부는 폐쇄되어 있다.The introduction tube 4 is equipped with a plurality of nozzles 4a for ejecting water to the surface of the negative electrode plate 2a, and when water is pumped from the introduction tube 4 into the electrolytic cell 1, the introduction tube 4 Water is discharged from the plurality of nozzles 4a provided to the negative electrode plates 2a and 2b. In this way, water between the positive electrode plates 3a and 3b and the negative electrode plates 2a and 2b flows in from the nozzle 4a through the through hole 50. Water introduced in this way flows up along both electrode plates through the flow path 51 formed by the gap, or flows out between the other negative electrode plates 2a and 2b from the other through holes 50. The upper end of the introduction pipe 4 is closed.
상기 전해조(1) 속에 물이 충만하고, 도출관(6)으로부터 물이 토출되고 있는 상태에서 음극판(2a, 2b)과 양극판(3a, 3b)에 전압이 인가되면, 물은 전기분해되어 양극판(3a, 3b)으로부터는 산소가스가 발생하고, 음극판(2a, 2b)으로부터는 수소가스가 발생한다. 이 가스들은 음극판(2a, 2b)의 관통구멍(50)들이나, 상기 유로(51)를 통하여 전해조(1)의 위쪽으로 상승하여 생성된 전해수와 함께 도출관(6)을 통하여 도출된다.When water is filled in the electrolytic cell 1 and the voltage is applied to the negative electrode plates 2a and 2b and the positive electrode plates 3a and 3b while the water is being discharged from the lead-out tube 6, the water is electrolyzed and the positive electrode plate ( Oxygen gas is generated from 3a and 3b, and hydrogen gas is generated from the negative electrode plates 2a and 2b. These gases are led out through the discharge pipe 6 together with the through holes 50 of the negative electrode plates 2a and 2b or the electrolyzed water generated by rising upward of the electrolytic cell 1 through the flow path 51.
일반의 수돗물을 원수로서 사용할 경우에는, 수돗물에는 칼슘이온과 마그네슘이온 등의 금속이온이 포함되어 있다. 칼슘이온과 마그네슘이온 등은 음극판(2a, 2b)에서 전자를 받아 칼슘 및 마그네슘 원자로 환원되어 음극판(2a, 2b)에 스케일로서 석출된다. 즉, 수돗물에 포함되어 있는 칼슘이온과 마그네슘이온이 감소하기 때문에 물의 산화환원전위(酸化還元電位)가 내려간다. 발명자가 시도한 실험에 의하면, 약 +350 mV의 산화환원전위를 갖는 수돗물을 15 리터/분의 유량으로 유동시키고, 전극에 24A의 전류를 가할 때 생성된 전해수의 산화환원전위를 측정하였을 때 산화환원전위가 약-300 mV 까지 저하되었다. 여기서 세척장치와 배관의 녹슬음을 충분히 방지할 수 있다는 것을 알 수 있다.When general tap water is used as raw water, tap water contains metal ions, such as calcium ion and magnesium ion. Calcium ions, magnesium ions, etc. receive electrons from the negative electrode plates 2a and 2b, are reduced to calcium and magnesium atoms, and precipitate as scale on the negative electrode plates 2a and 2b. That is, the calcium and magnesium ions contained in the tap water decrease, so the redox potential of the water decreases. According to the experiments attempted by the inventors, the redox potential was measured when tap water having a redox potential of about +350 mV was flowed at a flow rate of 15 liters / minute, and the redox potential of the electrolyzed water generated when 24 A was applied to the electrode was measured. Decreased to about -300 mV. It can be seen that the rust of the cleaning device and the pipe can be sufficiently prevented.
단, 음극판(2a, 2b)의 표면에는, 스케일이 석출되므로 점차적으로 전극들 사이의 전기저항이 커진다. 따라서, 필요에 따라서는 전극판에 대한 인가전압을 역전압(逆電壓)으로 바꾸어준다. 이와 같이 역전압을 인가하면, 전극표면에 직접접촉하고 있는 부분의 스케일은 전자를 잃게되어 다시 이온화하여 용해되기 시작한다. 따라서 스케일은 음극판(2a, 2b)으로부터 벗겨져서 전해조(1)의 밑바닥으로 침전한다. 역전압의 인가가 끝나면, 배출관(5)의 밸브(7)를 수동 또는 자동으로 개방하여 전해조(1) 속의 물과 함께 스케일을 제거할 수 있다.However, since the scale precipitates on the surfaces of the negative electrode plates 2a and 2b, the electrical resistance between the electrodes gradually increases. Therefore, if necessary, the voltage applied to the electrode plate is changed to a reverse voltage. When a reverse voltage is applied in this manner, the scale of the portion in direct contact with the electrode surface loses electrons and ionizes again and starts to dissolve. Therefore, the scale is peeled off from the negative electrode plates 2a and 2b and settles to the bottom of the electrolytic cell 1. After the application of the reverse voltage, the valve 7 of the discharge pipe 5 can be manually or automatically opened to remove the scale together with the water in the electrolytic cell 1.
이때, 도입관(4)을 통하여 공급, 토출되는 물은 전해조(1)의 밑바닥으로부터 떨어져 있는 위쪽에서 방수(放水)된다.At this time, the water supplied and discharged through the introduction pipe 4 is waterproof at the upper side away from the bottom of the electrolytic cell 1.
음극판(2a, 2b)은 전압이 인가된 상태에서는 항상 전자가 충만하여 있으며, 따라서 음극판(2a, 2b)은 산화되기 어려운 상태로 되어있다. 그러나, 양극판(3a, 3b)은 전압이 인가된 상태에서는 항상 전자가 부족하기 때문에 양극판(3a, 3b)은 산화되기 쉬운 상태(녹이 슬기 쉬운 상태)로 놓인다. 따라서, 양극판(3a, 3b)은 티타늄과 같은 녹슬지 않는 재료를 선택하거나, 백금 또는 이리듐 등으로 피복하는 것이 바람직하다. 또한, 스케일 제거를 위하여 역전압을 인가하는 것이므로, 음극판(2a, 2b)도 똑같은 재료로 표면처리를 하는 것이 바람직하다.The negative electrode plates 2a and 2b are always filled with electrons when a voltage is applied, and therefore the negative electrode plates 2a and 2b are in a difficult state to be oxidized. However, since the positive plates 3a and 3b are always deficient in electrons in the state where a voltage is applied, the positive plates 3a and 3b are placed in an easily oxidized state (an easy to rust) state. Therefore, it is preferable that the positive electrode plates 3a and 3b select an antirust material, such as titanium, or coat them with platinum or iridium. In addition, since the reverse voltage is applied to remove the scale, it is preferable that the negative electrode plates 2a and 2b be surface-treated with the same material.
수압에 의하여 도입관(4)의 각 노즐(4a)로부터 토출되는 압력의 차이가 생기지 않도록 하기 위하여, 도입관(4)의 측면에 형성된 다수의 노즐(4a)의 총면적이 도입관(4)의 단면적 보다 크게 설정하는 것이 바람직하다.In order that the pressure discharged from each nozzle 4a of the introduction pipe 4 does not occur due to the hydraulic pressure, the total area of the plurality of nozzles 4a formed on the side surface of the introduction pipe 4 is lower than that of the introduction pipe 4. It is preferable to set larger than the cross-sectional area.
도입관(4)으로부터 전극판으로 향하여 토출된 다음, 전기분해에 의하여 생성된 물이나 가스가 원수 속에 균일하게 혼합될 수 있도록 전해조(1) 안에 교반팬(攪拌fan) 등과 같은 교반장치를 내장시키는 것이 유리하다.After discharging toward the electrode plate from the introduction tube (4), a stirring device such as a stirring fan or the like is built into the electrolytic cell 1 so that water or gas generated by electrolysis can be uniformly mixed in the raw water. It is advantageous.
도1b에서는 음극판(2a, 2b)들 끼리 연결하고, 양극판(3a, 3b)들 끼리 연결하여 1개의 전원으로부터 직류전압을 인가하고 있다. 그러나, 각 전극판의 간격(△)과 표면상태의 차이 때문에 양쪽의 전극유닛(U)들에게 흐르는 전류값이 서로 다를 경우가 있다. 따라서, 각각 독립적으로 정전압전원(定電壓電源)에 접속시켜, 각 전극유닛(U)들에 있어서 거의 동일한 량의 전기분해가 이루어질 수 있도록 전압조정이 가능한 기능을 장치하는 것이 바람직하다.In FIG. 1B, the negative electrode plates 2a and 2b are connected to each other, and the positive electrode plates 3a and 3b are connected to each other to apply a DC voltage from one power source. However, the current values flowing to both electrode units U may be different from each other due to the difference between the gap Δ and the surface state of each electrode plate. Therefore, it is desirable to provide a function capable of adjusting voltage so that each of the electrode units U can be connected to a constant voltage power source independently of each other so that electrolysis of almost the same amount can be performed.
또한, 각 전극유닛(U)에서 동량의 전기분해가 행하여질 수 있도록 하기 위하여, 정전압전원 대신에 정전류전원(定電流電源)을 사용하면, 전압조정의 필요가 없으므로 더욱 바람직하다. 도출관(6) 또는 도입관(4)에 도시하지 않은 유량센서를 설치하여 도입관(4)으로부터 전해조(1) 속으로 물이 공급되는 것을 유량센서가 감지한 후에 전극유닛(U)에 전원을 공급하도록 할 수 있다.Further, in order to allow the same amount of electrolysis to be performed in each electrode unit U, if a constant current power source is used instead of the constant voltage power supply, voltage adjustment is not necessary, which is more preferable. A flow rate sensor (not shown) is installed in the lead-out pipe 6 or the inlet pipe 4 to supply power to the electrode unit U after the flow sensor detects that water is supplied from the inlet pipe 4 into the electrolytic cell 1. Can be supplied.
음극판(2a, 2b)에 형성된 다수의 관통구멍(50)들은 유로(51)에 물이 유입하기 쉽게 하고, 발생된 수소가스 및 산소가스를 전극 사이의 간격으로부터 빠져나오기 쉽게 하기 위한 것이다. 따라서, 관통구멍(50)들의 형상은 원형, 십자형, 각형 또는 슬리트형의 길다란 구멍도 가능하며, 예를들어 음극판(2a, 2b)을 망강(網鋼: expanded metal)을 사용할 수도 있다.The plurality of through holes 50 formed in the negative electrode plates 2a and 2b are intended to facilitate the inflow of water into the flow path 51 and to allow the generated hydrogen gas and oxygen gas to escape from the gap between the electrodes. Therefore, the shape of the through-holes 50 may be a long hole of circular, cross, square, or slit type, and for example, expanded metal may be used for the negative electrode plates 2a and 2b.
본 발명의 전해수 생성장치는 수돗물이나, 우물물을 원수로서 사용한다. 본 장치의 응용방법으로서 식염, 차아염소산나트륨 또는 구연산을 첨가한 수용액을 원수로 사용하므로 써, 양극판(3a, 3b)으로부터 많은 염소가스를 발생시켜 살균성과 표백성을 부여할 수도 있다. 또한, 탄산수소나트륨 등을 첨가하여 양극판(3a, 3b)에서 탄산가스를 발생시키고, 동시에 수산화나트륨(가성소다)을 생성시키므로 써, 알칼리수로 만들기 때문에 세척효과가 보다 높은 물을 생성할 수 있다. 단, 이와 같은 첨가물을 가하여 전기분해하면 배수에 따른 환경문제가 발생하므로 충분한 배수처리장치가 필요하다.The electrolytic water generating device of the present invention uses tap water and well water as raw water. As an application method of the present apparatus, an aqueous solution containing sodium chloride, sodium hypochlorite or citric acid is used as raw water, so that a large amount of chlorine gas can be generated from the positive electrode plates 3a and 3b to impart disinfection and bleaching properties. In addition, by adding sodium hydrogen carbonate or the like to generate carbon dioxide gas in the positive electrode plates 3a and 3b, and at the same time to produce sodium hydroxide (caustic soda), water having a higher washing effect can be produced because it is made of alkaline water. However, when such an additive is added and electrolyzed, environmental problems due to drainage may occur, and thus sufficient drainage treatment apparatus is required.
