Description

The present invention relates to a container-separated reduced hydrogen water generator, and more particularly to a container-separated reduced hydrogen water generator that generates reduced hydrogen water having a low oxidation-reduction potential.

The tap water that is drunk every day has a bad taste due to the chlorine added for sterilization at the water purification plant, and there are substances that adversely affect the human body such as trihalomethane by combining residual chlorine and organic substances in the water. There is a possibility that it is generated, and it is also a social problem.

Here, as a method for reforming water, a method for obtaining reduced hydrogen water is already known (see, for example, Patent Document 1, Patent Document 2, and Patent Document 3). In this method, the first, second, and third electrodes are disposed in water, a high-frequency AC voltage is applied between the first electrode and the second electrode, and the third electrode is grounded. Then, a direct current is passed through the water of the first electrode and the second electrode and the third electrode, the water is electrolyzed, and the redox potential of this water is lowered to produce reduced hydrogen water. When alternating current is applied between the first electrode and the second electrode, metal ions are eluted and hydrogen gas is generated in the first electrode and the second electrode, and hydrogen gas and oxygen gas are generated in the third electrode. In addition, oxygen generated at the third electrode is released into the atmosphere and the amount of dissolved oxygen increases. On the other hand, it is considered that hydrogen generated by the reaction dissolves in water in a supersaturated state, and as a result, hydrogen as a reductant increases and the redox potential decreases as compared with oxygen as an oxidant.

According to such a method for obtaining reduced hydrogen water, by employing electrolysis using high-frequency alternating current and direct current, the molecular group (cluster) of water is reduced, and delicious reduced hydrogen water that is easily absorbed by the body is generated. In addition, the reduced hydrogen water contains a large amount of dissolved oxygen that plays an important role in the resuscitation of organisms. Normally, harmful active oxygen in the living body is in a state of a very high redox potential of 800 mV, but reduced hydrogen water generates reduced hydrogen having a low redox potential (−42 mV) and is oxidized in the body. The cells and tissues are reduced and neutralized, and the active hydrogen binds to the harmful active oxygen to make it harmless.

An example of a conventional reduced hydrogen water generation apparatus to which the above-described method for obtaining reduced hydrogen water is applied is a pot-shaped container that stores water and a lid that covers the container. The main part is comprised from the control unit attached so that the electrode unit to make may hang down (for example, refer nonpatent literature 1).

In this conventional reduced hydrogen water generator, since the control unit with the electrode unit is placed on the container unit, the control unit with the electrode unit is removed from the container when the control unit is replaced with a lid after the reduction is completed. Needed to be replaced.

In the conventional reduced hydrogen water generator, when the control unit is replaced with a pouring lid after the reduction is completed, or when the reduced hydrogen water is replaced with another pot, the control unit to which the electrode unit is attached needs to be extracted from the container. Therefore, the handling of the electrode unit is troublesome, and there is a problem that the electrode unit may be deformed or damaged during handling.

An object of the present invention is to make it possible to separate a container unit having an electrode unit therein and a control unit that supplies an electrolytic waveform to the electrode unit, and to touch the electrode unit when refilling the reduced hydrogen water into another pot. An object of the present invention is to provide a container-separated reduced-hydrogen water generator that does not have any.

The container-separated reduced hydrogen water generator according to the present invention includes a container unit including an electrode unit that electrolyzes water to produce reduced hydrogen water, and the container unit is detachably set, and the electrode is connected via an electrode terminal. And a control unit for supplying an electrolysis waveform to the unit.

The container-separated reduced hydrogen water generator according to the present invention is characterized in that the container unit can be refilled with reduced hydrogen water without replacing the electrode unit by attaching the electrode unit to the bottom. .

Furthermore, the container-separated reduced hydrogen water generator according to the present invention comprises the container unit, a container, the electrode unit, and an attachment ring plate for screwing the electrode unit to the bottom opening of the container in a watertight manner. It is characterized by having a separation structure.

Furthermore, the container-separated reduced hydrogen water generator of the present invention is characterized in that reduced hydrogen water can be generated by pressing a reduction / off button while the container unit is set in the control unit.

In the container-separated reduced hydrogen water generator according to the present invention, a positioning groove and a positioning projection are provided on the joint surface of the container unit and the control unit, and the set position of the container unit with respect to the control unit is 180 degrees It is characterized by being limited to two opposing locations.

Furthermore, in the container-separated reduced hydrogen water generator according to the present invention, either one or both of the electrode unit and the electrode terminal is provided with a spring property, so that the electrode unit and the electrode terminal are reliably in contact with each other. It is characterized by doing so.

Furthermore, the container-separated reduced hydrogen water generator according to the present invention has a magnet disposed in the container unit and a proximity switch disposed at the position of the control unit opposite to the magnet disposed position of the container unit. When the proximity switch does not detect the magnet, it is determined that the container unit is not normally set with respect to the control unit, so that the reduction cannot be performed.

Further, in the container-separated reduced hydrogen water generator of the present invention, the proximity switch discriminates the container type of the container unit by making the position of the magnet arranged in the container unit different according to the container type, The reduction condition is changed according to the container type of the container unit.

In addition, the container-separated reduced hydrogen water generator according to the present invention is provided with a pair of the proximity switches so that reduction cannot be performed when both proximity switches do not detect the magnet, and only one proximity switch detects the magnet. When the container type of the container unit is the first container type, when the other proximity switch detects a magnet, the container type of the container unit is the second container type, and when both proximity switches detect the magnet The container type of the container unit is a third container type.

According to the container-separated reduced hydrogen water generator of the present invention, the electrode unit is mounted in the container unit so that the container unit can be separated from the control unit. There is an effect that it is not necessary to remove the electrode unit when refilling. Thereby, the trouble of removing the electrode unit from the container unit can be saved, and deformation or breakage of the electrode unit due to the removal of the electrode unit can be prevented in advance.

Moreover, the electrode can be cleaned by attaching the electrode unit to the bottom of the container in a watertight manner and removing the bottom.

Further, by separating the electrode unit and the mounting ring plate, it is easy to tighten the screws when fixing.

Furthermore, the positioning of the container unit and the control unit is facilitated because the positioning projection is provided on the container unit side and the positioning groove is provided on the control unit side.

In addition, by providing one or both of the electrode and the electrode terminal with a spring property, the two are surely brought into contact (in the embodiment, the electrode terminal is provided with a spring property).

Furthermore, by providing a proximity switch on the control unit and mounting a magnet on the container unit, an error will occur if the container unit is not set in the control unit or if the container unit is not set correctly. By preventing the buzzer from sounding and supplying the electrolytic waveform to the electrode unit, it is possible to prevent an accident such as an electric shock by touching the control terminal.

Furthermore, the control unit can determine the container type of the container unit and change the reduction condition.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a partially crushed front view showing the characteristics of a container-separated reduced hydrogen water generator 10 according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. As can be seen from FIG. 1, the container-separated reduced hydrogen water generator 10 according to the first embodiment includes a pot-type container unit 20 provided with an electrode unit 22 and a table for supplying an electrolytic waveform to the electrode unit 22. The control unit 30 is configured to be separable.

The electrode unit 22 and the control unit 30 perform reduction by supplying an electrolytic waveform to the electrode 24 when the electrode 24 on the container unit 20 side contacts with the electrode terminal 33 on the control unit 30 side.

FIGS. 2A and 2B are a front view and a partially crushed front view showing the container-separated reduced hydrogen water generator 10 according to the first embodiment. FIGS. 3A and 3B are a side view and a partially crushed side view showing the container-separated reduced hydrogen water generator 10 according to the first embodiment. 4 and 5 are a top view and a bottom view showing the container-separated reduced hydrogen water generator 10 according to the first embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 6, the container unit 20 is attached in a watertight manner to a cylindrical container 21, a lid 21 a (see FIG. 2 and the like) placed on the upper end opening of the container 21, and a lower end opening of the container 21. The main part is composed of the electrode unit 22, the mounting ring plate 23 for fixing the electrode unit 22 to the container 21, and the electrode cover 28 (see FIG. 2 and the like) for protecting the electrode unit 22. .

A pour spout 21b is formed on one side of the upper end of the container 21, and a handle 21c hanging from the other side of the upper end opposite the pour spout 21b so as to draw a parabola is provided. A female screw portion 21 d is threaded on the inner edge of the lower end opening of the container 21.

The electrode unit 22 includes three rectangular grid electrodes 24 (see FIG. 10), two auxiliary electrodes 25 sandwiched between the electrodes 24, and the three electrodes 24 in parallel with each other at the lower end. A disk-shaped electrode base 26 fixed so as to protrude and a watertight O-ring 27 fitted to the outer peripheral surface portion of the electrode base 26 are configured.

In the three electrodes 24, the third electrode 24 is arranged in the center, and the first and second electrodes 24 are arranged on both sides in parallel so as to face each other at equal intervals. In the reduction (electrolysis), as disclosed in Patent Document 1, Patent Document 2, and Patent Document 3, high-frequency alternating current (30 KHz to 50 KHz) is generated between the first electrode 24 and the second electrode 24. ) (10 V to 50 V) is applied, the third electrode 24 is grounded, a direct current is passed from the first electrode 24 and the second electrode 24 to the third electrode 24 through water, Electrolyzed to lower the redox potential of this water to produce reduced hydrogen water.

As a material of the electrode 24, metals such as magnesium, aluminum, lithium, zinc, magnesium, iron, stainless steel, and copper can be used. However, a titanium plate formed in a rectangular lattice shape is subjected to platinum plating. It is preferred to use. When such a material is used, titanium is excellent in corrosion resistance and durability, and platinum cannot form an oxide film on the surface, so the reaction of water electrolysis is stabilized and the reaction is performed efficiently. Maintenance is not required because it does not dissolve in water. In particular, the reason why the electrode 24 is formed in a lattice shape is that electrolysis is performed while the water moves in the container 21, so that the movement time of the water, that is, the reduction time is secured by enlarging the electrode 24 in a lattice shape. Because you can. In principle, the electrolysis reaction (decrease in oxidation-reduction potential) is proportional to the area of the electrode 24. However, when the electrode 24 is in a lattice shape, the oxidation-reduction is compared with a plate-like electrode having the same surface area. Good results are obtained with a large drop in potential.

A male screw portion 23 a that is screwed into the female screw portion 21 d of the container 21 is threaded on the outer peripheral portion of the mounting ring plate 23. Thus, by separating the electrode unit 22 and the mounting ring plate 23, it is easy to tighten a screw when fixing the electrode unit 22 to the container 21.

As described above, since the electrode unit 22 is arranged with the electrode base 26 facing down, the electrodes 24 can be arranged together on the electrode base 26, and the electrode base 26 can be easily placed in the lower end opening of the container 21. A form that can be mounted is taken. With such a configuration, there is an advantage that the electrode unit 22 can be easily disassembled and assembled.

In addition, since the container unit 20 to which the electrode unit 22 is fixed can disassemble the container 21 and the electrode unit 22, it can be cleaned cleanly to every corner.

A pair of positioning projections 26 a that fit into a pair of positioning grooves 31 a of the mounting table 31, which will be described later, protrude from the lower surface of the electrode base 26, and cooperate with a proximity switch 34 that will be described later. Two or four magnets 29 (see FIG. 7A, etc.) are arranged.

The pair of positioning projections 26a serve to set the container unit 20 with respect to the control unit 30 so that the set positions thereof are opposed to each other by 180 degrees. That is, when the control unit 30 is viewed from the front, it is limited to a set position where the handle 21c of the container unit 20 is located on the right (see FIG. 2 and the like) and a set position where the handle 21c of the container unit 20 is located on the left. do.

As shown in FIG. 2 and the like, the electrode cover 28 is a bowl-shaped body in which a plurality of cuts are formed in a comb-like shape, and is placed on the electrode base 26 so as to cover the electrode 24.

The magnet 29 is disposed in a first pattern (see FIG. 7A) in which two magnets are disposed at an upper left position and a lower right position with the spout 21c on the left when viewed from the bottom surface. , Two second patterns (see FIG. 8) arranged at the left diagonally lower position and right diagonally upper position, and four patterns arranged at the left diagonally upper position, right diagonally upper position, right diagonally lower position and left diagonally lower position There is a third pattern (see FIG. 9), and up to three types of container units 20 can be identified on the control unit 30 side. For example, when there are container units 20 with capacities of 1.3 liters, 0.8 liters, and 0.5 liters, magnets 29 are arranged in different patterns from each other so that the control unit 30 can distinguish them. Thus, reduction conditions such as reduction time and electrolytic waveform can be made different. Hereinafter, the first pattern container unit 20 has a capacity of 1.3 liter container type A, the second pattern container unit 20 has a capacity of 0.8 liter container type B, and the third pattern container unit 20 has a capacity. Let it be a 0.5 liter container type C.

As shown in FIG. 4, the control unit 30 has an inverted U shape with a bottom when viewed from the upper surface or the lower surface. A panel 32 is provided. Further, as shown in FIG. 5, on the bottom surface of the control unit 30, stationary leg portions 30 a are provided at the four corners, and a fall prevention protrusion 30 b is projected. The tip 30b for preventing overturning serves to prevent the control unit 30 from falling backward due to the weight of the container unit 20 when the container unit 20 containing tap water is set on the mounting table 31.

As shown in FIG. 7 (b), the mounting table 31 is formed with a frustoconical protrusion, and a pair of positioning grooves 31a into which the pair of positioning protrusions 26a of the container unit 21 are fitted. Is drilled. In addition, three electrode terminals 33 are disposed on the mounting table 31 so as to be freely depressed. Further, a pair of proximity switches 34 are disposed on the inner wall side of the mounting table 31. The pair of proximity switches 34 are arranged symmetrically on the rear side of the mounting table 31.

As shown in FIG. 4, the operation panel 32 is provided with a reduction / off button 32a.

As shown in FIG. 10, the reduction / off button 32a is formed of a transparent or semi-transparent elliptic cylindrical body, and is fitted in an elliptical guide hole formed in the operation panel 32 so as to be slidable in the vertical direction. Arranged. A reduction switch 44 is engaged with the lower end edge of the reduction / off button 32a, and an illumination LED (Light Emitting Diode) 45 is disposed inside the reduction / off button 32a. The reduction / off button 32 a is given an upward biasing force by an elastic means, but is restricted so that the upper surface does not protrude beyond the surface of the operation panel 32. Each time the reduction / off button 32a is pressed, the reduction switch 44 is turned on / off to enter a reduction mode or a reduction standby state.

As shown in an enlarged view in FIG. 11, the electrode terminal 33 is a conductive metal rod-like body, and is arranged in three on the left and right so as to be aligned with the positioning groove 31 a at the center position of the mounting table 31. (See FIG. 7B). The electrode terminal 33 is disposed so as to be slidable in the vertical direction in a guide hole formed so as to communicate with the mounting table wall and the inner wall 36. The electrode terminal 33 is given a biasing force to move upward by an electrode terminal spring 35 that is a coil spring interposed between the flange 33a attached to the electrode terminal 33 and the inner wall 36, and 33a and the mounting table wall are regulated so as not to protrude from the mounting table 31 more than a predetermined amount.

The proximity switch 34 is a switch that feels magnetism and turns on when close to the magnet 29, detects whether the container unit 20 is set in the control unit 30, and only when the control board 40 is in the set state. High-frequency alternating current and direct current (electrolytic waveform) necessary for reduction (electrolysis) are supplied from each through the electrode terminal 33 to each electrode 24 of the electrode unit 22.

As shown in FIG. 12, the electrode terminal 33 and the proximity switch 34 are connected to connectors 41 and 42 on a control board 40 disposed in the control unit 30, respectively. A (Micro Processing Unit) 43, a reduction switch 44, an illumination LED 45, a buzzer 46, and an adapter jack 47 are provided.

A plug of an AC (Alternating Current) adapter 48 connected to a household 100-volt AC power supply is inserted into the adapter jack 47.

FIG. 13 is a circuit block diagram showing the power supply system in the control board 40 in more detail. This power supply system includes a power circuit 51 connected to the adapter jack 47, an output control relay 52 connected to the adapter jack 47 and controlled by a relay control output from the MPU 43, and an overcurrent protection connected to the output control relay 52. Polarity inversion (reverse power) control signal from the MPU 43 connected to the circuit 53, the electrolytic waveform generation circuit (high frequency oscillation & modulation circuit) 54 connected to the power supply circuit 51, the overcurrent protection circuit 53 and the electrolytic waveform generation circuit 54 Is input to the connector 41, and an electrode voltage monitor I / F (InterFace) circuit 56 that monitors the output of the overcurrent protection circuit 53, and the illumination LED 45 is output from the MPU 43. And an LED driver circuit 57 to be driven.

Referring to FIG. 14, the initial processing by the MPU 43 includes power-on step S101, initial check step S102, container unit set determination step S103, reduction switch press determination step S104, buzzer warning step S105, and container type A check. Step S106, container type A reduction condition setting step S107, container type B check step S108, container type B reduction condition setting step S109, container type C check step S110, container type C reduction condition setting step S111, The reduction standby state step S112.

Referring to FIG. 15, the reduction process by MPU 43 includes a reduction start step S113, a reduction operation start step S114, an overload error determination step S115, a proximity switch error determination step S116, a reduction time end determination step S117, The switch pressing determination step S118, the reduction end step S119, and an error processing routine S120.

Next, the operation of the container-separated reduced hydrogen water generator 10 according to Example 1 configured as described above will be described.

The user first puts tap water into the container unit 20.

Next, the user sets the container unit 20 containing tap water on the mounting table 31 of the control unit 30. Then, the pair of positioning projections 16a and the pair of positioning grooves 31a are fitted, and the magnet 29 and the proximity switch 34 come close to each other.

Subsequently, the user inserts the AC adapter 48 into a household 100-volt outlet and inserts the adapter plug into the adapter jack 47 of the control unit 30.

Then, power is turned on to the control unit 30 (step S101), and the MPU 43 performs an initial check, blinks the illumination LED 45, and sounds the buzzer 45 (step S102). At this time, the container type of the container unit 20 is determined, and the illumination LED 45 blinks twice for the container type A, three times for the container type B, and four times for the container type C. You may make it blink.

Next, the MPU 43 determines whether or not the container unit 20 is correctly set on the mounting table 31 of the control unit 30 (step S103). Specifically, the set of the container unit 20 is determined based on whether the magnet 29 is detected in any one of the pair of proximity switches 34.

If the container unit 20 is not set correctly, the MPU 43 determines whether the reduction switch 44 has been pressed (whether the user has instructed the reduction start by pressing the reduction / off button 32a before entering the reduction standby state). (Step S104).

If the reduction switch 44 has not been pressed, the MPU 43 immediately returns control to step S103 and repeats until the container unit 20 is correctly set on the mounting table 31 of the control unit 30.

If the reduction switch 44 is pressed, the MPU 43 sounds the buzzer 46 to warn the user that the container unit 20 is not set (step S105), and then returns the control to step S103. Repeat until 20 is correctly set on the mounting table 31 of the control unit 30. In this case, since the pressing of the return / off button 32a is not accepted, the user needs to press the return / off button 32a again after correctly setting the container unit 20 again.

When the container unit 20 is correctly set in step S103, the MPU 43 determines whether or not the container unit 20 is the container type A based on the magnet detection signal from the proximity switch 34 (step S106). Specifically, as seen in FIG. 7B, if a magnet detection signal is input only from the left proximity switch 34, the MPU 43 determines that the container unit 20 is the container type A.

If the container unit 20 is container type A, the MPU 43 sets the reduction conditions such as the reduction time and the electrolytic waveform to the conditions of the container type A (step S107), and enters the reduction standby state (step S112).

If the container unit 20 is not the container type A, the MPU 43 determines whether or not the container unit 20 is the container type B based on the magnet detection signal from the proximity switch 34 (step S108). Specifically, as seen in FIG. 7B, if a magnet detection signal is input only from the right proximity switch 34, the MPU 43 determines that the container unit 20 is the container type B.

If the container unit 20 is the container type B, the MPU 43 sets the reduction conditions such as the reduction time and the electrolytic waveform to the conditions of the container type B (step S109), and enters the reduction standby state (step S112).

If the container unit 20 is not the container type B, the MPU 43 determines whether the container unit 20 is the container type C based on the magnet detection signal from the proximity switch 34 (step S110). Specifically, as seen in FIG. 7B, if a magnet detection signal is input from the left and right proximity switches 34, the MPU 43 determines that the container unit 20 is the container type C.

If the container unit 20 is container type C, the MPU 43 sets the reduction conditions such as the reduction time and the electrolytic waveform to the container type C (step S109), and enters the reduction standby state (step S112).

In the reduction standby state, when the reduction / off button 32a is pressed and the start of reduction is instructed (step S113), the MPU 43 recognizes that the reduction mode is set by turning on the reduction switch 44, and from the control board 40 to the electrode terminal. In addition to starting the supply of the electrolysis waveform to the electrode 44 via 33, the buzzer 46 is sounded and the illumination LED 45 (blue) is slowly blinked to inform the user that reduction is in progress (step S114).

Next, the MPU 43 determines whether or not an overload error occurs due to high conductivity water (step S115). If the overload error occurs, the reduction is stopped and the buzzer 46 is sounded to that effect. The user is warned (step S120). For example, when the conductivity of water is about 1000 μs / cm or more, the reduction is stopped as an error. Specifically, the buzzer 46 sounds when trying to reduce tap water with high conductivity in some areas, or when trying to reduce things other than tap water (commercial mineral water, milk or juice). To warn you. In this case, the user presses the return / off button 32a to cancel the error.

Here, the overload error will be briefly described with reference to FIG.

1) The overcurrent protection circuit 53 is a circuit that adjusts the voltage so that the load current does not flow over 500 mA. The voltage decreases as it approaches 500 mA (this function prevents the AC adapter 48 from exceeding the rating in hardware). To protect).

2) The output of the overcurrent protection circuit 53 is read into the MPU 43 through the electrode voltage monitor I / F circuit 56. The MPU 43 monitors this value to determine whether or not the liquid in the container 21 has high conductivity (overload) (this function alerts an overload error in software and stops electrolysis). be able to).

3) The condition for an overload error is a liquid with a conductivity of 1000 to 2000 μS / cm or more (can be changed by software specification), such as orange juice or coffee milk (Tap water is generally 100 to 300 μS) / Cm). In this case, the load current value is 400 mA or more, and overload error processing is performed by the function 2).

If it is not an overload error, the MPU 43 determines whether there is an error detection of the proximity switch 34 due to the set position of the container unit 20 being reduced (step S116). 46 is sounded to warn the user to that effect (step S120). For example, when the container unit 20 is out of the set position from the control unit 30 during the return operation, the user presses the return / off button 32a to cancel the error, and then correctly sets the container unit 20 again. Press the reduction / off button 32a again.

If the proximity switch error is not detected, the MPU 43 determines whether or not the reduction time for each container type has ended (step S117). If the reduction time has not ended, the MPU 43 determines whether the reduction switch 44 has been pressed (during reduction). It is determined whether or not the user has pressed the return / off button 32a to cancel the return mode (step S118).

If the reduction switch 44 is not pressed during the reduction, the MPU 43 returns the control to step S115 and continues the reduction operation.

If the reduction switch 44 is pressed during the reduction, the reduction mode has been canceled, and the MPU 43 rings the buzzer 46 and turns off the illumination LED 45 (blue), and ends the reduction operation (step S119).

Then, when the reduction time elapses during the reduction (step S117), the MPU 43 rings the buzzer 46 and turns off the illumination LED 45 (blue), and ends the reduction operation (step S119).
