In the present invention, there are points to consider when providing a novel portable electrolyzed water sprayer. In the electrolysis unit, when water is trapped between the electrodes in the energized state, the current required for electrolysis is difficult to flow due to bubbles generated when water is electrolyzed by energizing the electrodes, and the electrolysis function is degraded. Sometimes. In addition, decomposition of active oxygen species may occur due to heat generation during electrolysis or reduction reaction on the negative electrode side, and the concentration of electrolyzed water may decrease due to the reduction of active oxygen species, thereby reducing the disinfection effect.

In view of such points, the present invention provides a miniaturized portable electrolyzed water sprayer that sprays electrolyzed water each time the push part is pushed by one finger. The present invention provides a technique capable of removing generated bubbles and preventing reduction of active oxygen species caused by water remaining between energized electrodes.

The present invention sets the relationship between the amount of water sprayed by one push of the push unit and the volume between the electrodes as a predetermined state, and the water between the electrodes is switched every time one push is performed.

A part of the electrolyzed water sprayer is provided with a detection unit of a capacitance type switch that detects a change in capacitance caused by touching a user's hand and starts energization to the electrolysis unit.

In the present invention, “sterilization” means that the number of bacteria after sterilization is 1/100 or less compared to the number of bacteria before sterilization.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the portable electrolyzed water sprayer 1 according to the first embodiment has a cylindrical shape such as a cylindrical shape, an elliptical shape, or a polygonal shape, and has a top surface opening 2A in 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 is arranged at the upper part. FIG. 1 shows a portable electrolyzed water sprayer 1 in which a water tank unit 2 and a power source unit 3 are formed with a cylindrical main body 1A having substantially the same diameter.

As shown in FIG. 3, a cylindrical electrolysis unit 5 in which water in the water tank unit 2 flows in from the lower inflow hole 5E and flows out from the upper surface opening 5A to the spray mechanism unit 4 is formed in the center of the water tank unit 2. It is arranged in the axial direction of the water tank unit 2, and the periphery of the tubular electrolysis unit 5 is a water reservoir of the water tank unit 2, and the water in the water tank unit 2 flows into the electrolysis unit 5 from the lower inflow hole 5 E. To do. 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.

The electrolyzing unit 5 contains an electrolyzed water generating electrode 6 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 shown in FIG. 2, the electrolysis unit 5 includes a positive electrode 6 A and a negative electrode 6 B in the axial direction of the portable electrolyzed water sprayer 1, that is, in the center of the water tank unit 2 and in the axial direction of the water tank unit 2. The accommodated cylindrical electrolysis part 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. 9, the three plate-like electrodes are arranged in the vertical direction through the insulating material spacers 5 B so that the plus electrodes 6 A and the minus electrodes 6 B 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 plus electrode 6A, and the plate-like electrodes on both sides thereof are a minus electrode 6B, which does 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 length of the plus electrode 6A along the axial direction of the electrolysis unit 5 and the minus electrode 6B on both sides thereof is substantially the length over the axial length 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.

In order to perform the electrolysis quickly and / or to increase the electrolyzed water concentration, as shown in FIG. 10, the positive electrodes 6A and the negative electrodes 6B are alternately arranged, and five sheets are interposed via the insulating spacer 5B. It is also possible to adopt a form in which the plate electrodes are arranged to face each other with a substantially uniform predetermined interval (0.1 mm to 1 mm) in the vertical direction. As in the case shown in FIG. 9, the cylindrical body 5P is formed.

In the case of three plate electrodes and also in the case of five plate electrodes, a predetermined voltage (5.5 V (volt) to 5.6 V (volt) in the embodiment) is applied to the electrode 6 as described later. By doing so, water existing in the electrolysis chamber 5S between the plus electrode 6A and the minus electrode 6B can be electrolyzed to generate ozone, and electrolyzed water as ozone water can be effectively generated.

In the above case, the electrode 6 has a predetermined interval between three or five plate electrodes so that the plus electrode 6A and the minus electrode 6B extending in parallel in the axial direction of the water tank portion 2 are alternately arranged. As shown in FIG. 11, the plate-like surfaces are opposed to each other with a predetermined interval between the four plate-like electrodes through the insulating spacer 5B. The positive electrode 6A and the negative electrode 6B can be arranged alternately. Further, in FIG. 11, the positive electrode 6A can be disposed at the negative electrode 6B, and the negative electrode 6B can be disposed at the positive electrode 6A. As in the case shown in FIG. 9, the cylindrical body 5P is formed.

In the case of three plate electrodes, in the case of four plate electrodes, or in the case of five plate electrodes, the plus electrode 6A along the axial direction of the electrolysis part 5 and the minus electrodes 6B on both sides thereof. The length in the axial direction is substantially the length over the length in the axial direction of the electrolysis part 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 one of the electrode configurations for generating ozone, as shown in a cross section in FIG. 15, the plus electrode 6A has a plate-like titanium (Ti) with a thickness of 0.5 mm to 1 mm as a substrate B1, and a minus electrode 6B. The tantalum oxide (TaOx) layer T1 having a thickness of 1000 nm is defined as a surface facing the tantalum oxide. The negative electrode 6B has a plate-like titanium (Ti) having a thickness of 0.5 mm to 1 mm as a substrate B2, and a surface facing the positive electrode 6A is a platinum (Pt) layer T2 having a thickness of 1000 nm, or platinum and iridium. The alloy (Pt + Ir) layer T2 is used.

In the case of the arrangement of three plate electrodes as shown in FIG. 9, when the intermediate plate electrode is the negative electrode 6B, both the front and back surfaces of the negative electrode 6B are platinum (Pt) layers T2 or an alloy of platinum and iridium. The (Pt + Ir) layer T2 is a tantalum oxide (TaOx) layer T1 that faces the positive electrode 6A facing the negative electrode 6B as described above.

In the case of the arrangement of five electrodes as shown in FIG. 10, the positive electrode 6A, as described above, forms the tantalum oxide (TaOx) layer T1 on both the front and back surfaces of the titanium (Ti) substrate B1, and the negative electrode 6B The surface facing the positive electrode 6A has a structure in which a platinum (Pt) layer T2 or an alloy of platinum and iridium (Pt + Ir) layer T2 is formed on the surface of a titanium (Ti) substrate B2.

Further, in the case of the arrangement of the five plate electrodes as shown in FIG. 10, when the positive electrode 6A is placed at the negative electrode 6B and the negative electrode 6B is placed at the positive electrode 6A, the front and back of the negative electrode 6B are arranged. Both surfaces are a platinum (Pt) layer T2 or an alloy of platinum and iridium (Pt + Ir) layer T2, and the opposing surface of the positive electrode 6A facing the negative electrode 6B is tantalum oxide (TaOx) as described above. Let it be layer T1.

In the above, the opposite surface of the plus electrode 6A to the minus electrode 6B is the tantalum oxide (TaOx) layer T1, but if this tantalum oxide (TaOx) layer T1 is directly formed on the surface of the titanium (Ti) substrate B1, In order to prevent the phenomenon that the surface of the titanium (Ti) substrate B1 is faded due to corrosion, platinum (1000 nm thick platinum (Ti) is formed on the surface of the flat titanium (Ti) substrate B1 having a thickness of 0.5 mm to 1 mm. A layer of Pt) is formed, and a tantalum oxide (TaOx) layer having a thickness of 1000 nm is formed on the platinum (Pt) layer.

Also in the case of the arrangement of four plate electrodes as shown in FIG. 11, the surface of the plus electrode 6A facing the minus electrode 6B is a tantalum oxide (TaOx) layer T1, and the surface of the minus electrode 6B facing the plus electrode 6A. Is a platinum (Pt) layer T2 or an alloy of platinum and iridium (Pt + Ir) layer T2.

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.

Also, as described above, the cost of the electrodes can be reduced because the effective areas acting on the electrolysis of the opposing surfaces of the positive electrode 6A and the negative electrode 6B are substantially the same.

Further, other forms of the electrode 6 are shown in FIGS. In the form of FIG. 12, the plus electrode 6A and the minus electrode 6B are both coaxially arranged cylindrical shapes. When the inner cylindrical shape is the plus electrode 6A, the coaxially arranged cylindrical shape is the minus electrode 6B on the outer side. is there. When the inner cylindrical shape is the negative electrode 6B, the cylindrical shape coaxially arranged on the outer side is the positive electrode 6A. In any case, the outer surface of the outer cylindrical electrode is covered with a cylindrical body 5P formed of a heat shrinkable tube made of synthetic resin or covered with a cylindrical body 5P made of synthetic resin formed into a cylindrical shape. Is called. As another configuration, the outer cylindrical electrode can also be used as the cylindrical body 5P. In this case, an insulating material layer is formed on the outer surface of the outer cylindrical electrode.

Further, in the form of FIG. 13, when one of the plus electrode 6A and the minus electrode 6B has a columnar shape, the outer side has a cylindrical shape coaxially arranged, and the central column is the plus electrode 6A, A cylindrical shape coaxially arranged on the outside is the negative electrode 6B. Further, when the central column is the minus electrode 6B, the cylindrical shape coaxially arranged on the outer side is the plus electrode 6A. In any case, the outer surface of the outer cylindrical electrode is covered with a cylindrical body 5P formed of a heat shrinkable tube made of synthetic resin or covered with a cylindrical body 5P made of synthetic resin formed into a cylindrical shape. Is called. As another configuration, the outer cylindrical electrode can also be used as the cylindrical body 5P. In this case, an insulating material layer is formed on the outer surface of the outer cylindrical electrode.

As shown in FIG. 3, a spray mechanism for spraying the electrolyzed water of the electrolyzing unit 5 from the nozzle 4A at the tip while pressing the water in the water tank unit 2 at the peripheral portion of the upper surface opening 2A of 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 P is cylindrical while maintaining the watertight state by the annular packing 12. A small nozzle 4A is opened on the side surface of the push portion 4P. The lower end opening of the spray body 4B is detachably coupled by the peripheral edge of the upper surface opening 2A of the water tank 2 and the screw coupling portion 11, and the spray body 4B and the water tank 2 are watertight by the annular packing 10. It is.

In the upper surface opening 2A of the water tank portion 2, a communication passage member 13 extending into the water tank portion 2 is attached in a watertight state by screw connection or adhesion. The communicating path member 13 forms an electrolyzed water outlet path 7B penetrating vertically at the center. At the center of the spray mechanism 4, an electrolyzed water outlet path 7 A penetrating vertically is formed so as to communicate with the nozzle 4 A. The push part 4P forms an extension part 4P1 from which the electrolyzed water outlet path 7A extends downward. The extending portion 4P1 enters the electrolyzed water outlet path 7B of the communication path member 13 from above the electrolyzed water outlet path 7B, and is combined with the communication path member 13 so as to be vertically movable in a watertight state. As a result, the electrolyzed water lead-out path 7A and the electrolyzed water lead-out path 7B are in communication with each other, and the electrolyzed water lead-out path 7 leading from the electrolysis unit 5 to the nozzle 4A is formed.

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. 4 and 5, when the push portion 4P is pressed, the extension portion 4P1 pushes the ball 41 downward against the coil spring 40 to open the electrolyzed water outlet path 7B, and the electrolysis portion as indicated by an arrow. 5 is configured such that the electrolyzed water 5 flows to the electrolyzed water outlet path 7 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. It becomes like this.

A pump chamber 16 is formed in the spray body 4B. In the configuration of FIG. 3, a pump chamber 16 is formed in the spray main body portion 4 B between the air pressing portion 4 P 2 of the push portion 4 P and the water tank portion 2 including the communication path member 13. The pump chamber 16 communicates with the outside air through the air introduction hole 9, and communicates with the inside of the water tank portion 2 through the air communication path 15 penetrating the communication path member 13. By the coil spring 8 provided in the pump chamber 16, the push portion 4 P is urged upward from the main body portion 4 B, and in this state, the pump chamber 16 is in communication with the outside air through the air introduction hole 9. As shown in FIG. 6, the communication path 15 is formed as large as possible in three places around the communication path member 13 at a pitch of approximately 120 degrees, and also functions as a water replenishment opening into the water tank portion 2 described later. .

As shown in FIG. 3, the cylindrical electrolysis unit 5 is supported at the lower part by a lower support part 17 A provided at the bottom part of the water tank part 2 and at the upper part by an upper support part 17 B provided at the upper part of the water tank part 2. Has been. In the form shown in FIG. 3, the lower support portion 17 A is integrally formed in a rectangular ring shape on the upper surface of a later-described housing 23 of the power supply unit 3, but the lower support portion 17 A formed separately from the housing 23 is provided. The structure attached to the upper surface of the housing 23 may be sufficient. Further, the upper part of the tubular electrolysis part 5 is attached in a watertight state to an upper support part 17B connected in a watertight state to the lower part of the communication path member 13 attached to the upper surface opening 2A of the water tank part 2. The upper support portion 17B may be formed integrally with the lower portion of the communication path member 13 as shown in FIG. The inflow port 5E is formed through the lower support portion 17A. In this way, the water in the water tank unit 2 and the electrolysis unit 5 communicates only with the inflow port 5E.

The water tank 2 has a water replenishment opening at the top, and a push type spray mechanism 4 is detachably coupled to the top of the water tank 2 so as to open and close the water replenishment opening. Specifically, the water tank unit 2 is detachably coupled to the spray mechanism unit 4 as described above, and a water replenishment opening is formed on the detachable coupling unit side, from the water replenishment opening to the water tank unit 2. Water can be replenished. This water replenishment opening may be the upper surface opening 2A itself, but in the configuration shown in the figure, the air communication path 15 that mainly constitutes a part of the upper surface opening 2A functions as a water replenishment opening, and the electrolyzed water outlet path 7B The upper end opening acts as a supplementary water supply opening. When replenishing water to the water tank unit 2, the water tank unit 2 and the spray body unit 4B are rotated by rotating the spray body unit 4B in a direction in which the screw coupling unit 11 is disconnected from the water tank unit 2. Therefore, the water tank 2 can be replenished with water from the water replenishment opening on the upper surface opening 2A side of the water tank 2. For this reason, in the state which removed the coupling | bonding of the water tank part 2 and the spraying main-body part 4B, replenishment of the water into the water tank part 2 is performed through this communicating path 15 and the electrolyzed water extraction path 7B. Note that the coil spring 8 is held at the peripheral edge portion of the air pressing portion 4P2 of the push portion 4P in order to prevent the coil spring 8 from being lost when the water tank portion 2 and the spray main body portion 4B are disconnected. It has a configuration.

In the state where the spray mechanism part 4 is attached to the water tank part 2 in a watertight state, the lower end opening 7A1 of the electrolyzed water outlet path 7A is closed by the side wall of the electrolyzed water outlet path 7B in the state of FIG. In this state, by pressing the push portion 4P biased upward from the main body portion 4B by the coil spring 8, the air in the pump chamber 16 causes the air pressing portion 4P2 of the push portion 4P to enter the air introduction hole 9. From the passed position, the pressurized air acts on the upper surface space AS of the water surface HL in the water tank part 2 through the communication passage 15, whereby the water in the water tank part 2 is pushed into the electrolysis part 5 from the inlet 5 E. . 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.

When the portable electrolyzed water sprayer 1 is not used in a handbag or the like, as shown in FIG. 3, the main body 4B has a push portion so that the electrolyzed water is not inadvertently ejected from the spray mechanism 4. A nozzle cover 18 covering 4P is detachably attached. For this reason, the 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 pushed in the direction of the water tank portion 2. Thus, the nozzle cover 18 is held in pressure contact with the annular packing 19. In order to cover the lower opening end of the nozzle cover 18, an annular protector 20 is provided at the upper end of the water tank 2.

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.

FIG. 7 shows a support structure of the electrolysis unit 5 in a form different from that in FIG. In FIG. 7, in order to increase the vertical length of the electrolysis unit 5, an upper support portion 17 B is integrally formed with the communication path member 13 attached to the upper surface opening 2 A of the water tank portion 2. The upper part of the electrolysis part 5 is supported by 17B. That is, the communication path member 13 is fitted and supported in the upper surface opening 2A of the water tank portion 2, and the electrolyzed water outlet path 7A at the center of the push portion 4P is the electrolyzed water outlet path 7B at the center of the communication path member 13. The part is fitted so as to be slidable in the vertical direction, and the electrolyzed water outlet path 7 is formed by the electrolyzed

water outlet paths

7A and 7B. An air communication passage 15 that communicates between the pump chamber 16 and the water tank portion 2 is formed so as to penetrate the communication passage member 13 that also serves as the upper support portion 17B.

In FIG. 7, the same functional parts as those in FIG. 3 are given the same reference numerals, and the structure of the electrolysis part 5 and water present between the positive electrode 6A and the negative electrode 6B are electrolyzed to generate ozone, The configuration for generating electrolyzed water as ozone water is the same. As shown in FIG. 8, the lower end opening 7A1 of the electrolyzed water outlet 7A that has been blocked by the side wall of the electrolyzed water outlet 7B in the state of FIG. Since it is opened by the enlarged diameter portion, the electrolyzed

water outlet paths

7A and 7B communicate with each other, and the electrolyzed water in the electrolysis unit 5 is pushed out to the electrolyzed

water outlet paths

7A and 7B and is ejected from the nozzle 4A. In the configuration of FIG. 7, if the length of the electrode 6 in the vertical direction is the same as that of FIG. 3, the entire length of the portable electrolyzed water sprayer 1 can be shortened. If the vertical length of the water tank 2 is the same as that in FIG. 3, the vertical length of the electrode 6 can be increased in the configuration of FIG. Thus, electrolysis can be effectively performed.

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.

As shown in FIG. 3, considering the ease of assembling the portable electrolyzed water sprayer 1, the power supply unit 3 is used at the screw coupling unit 22 with the water tank unit 2 via the annular packing 21. It is fixedly connected in a watertight state so that the person cannot remove it. As shown in FIG. 1, the power supply unit 3 contains a power supply battery 24, a control circuit unit 25, an LED 26, and the like in a synthetic resin casing 23. The control circuit unit 25 operates using the power source battery 24 as a power source by the switch 27 operated from the outer surface of the power source unit 3 by the operation unit 27P, and the control circuit unit 25 controls the control circuit from the power source battery 24 as shown in FIGS. Power is supplied to the unit 25, and electrical connection is made so that power is supplied from the control circuit unit 25 to the electrode 6. The control circuit unit 25 supplies power to the plus electrode 6A and the minus electrode 6B. 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 1.2V to 1.5V secondary battery of AA or AAA, and is detachably attached to the battery housing portion 23A in the housing 23. The battery 24 for power supply is accommodated in the battery housing part 23 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. 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 A may be detachably provided on the side surface of the battery housing portion 23 A, and the power supply battery 24 may be detached from the power supply portion 3.

Further, in the present invention, when carrying in a handbag or the like, the electrode is not energized, and every time the sterilization operation is performed, that is, every time the switch 27 is turned on, the electrode 6 is energized for a predetermined time to perform electrolysis. Thus, it is possible to suppress the reduction of active oxygen species and to spray electrolyzed water having a desired sterilizing effect. As a function for this purpose, as described below, the control circuit unit 25 includes a timer circuit 25B in order to energize the electrode 6 for a predetermined time each time the switch 27 is turned on.

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 1.2V to 1.5V secondary battery is used, and the voltage of the power source battery 24 is boosted by the boosting means to the electrode 6 with a predetermined voltage (5.5 V to 5.6 V in the embodiment). Is applied. As shown in FIG. 16, the control circuit unit 25 uses the power source battery 24 as a power source in order to apply the voltage necessary for generating the ozone water for sterilization in the electrolysis chamber 5S to the electrode 6 as described above. A voltage booster circuit 25A is provided for boosting the voltage of the power source battery 24 to a predetermined voltage (5.5 V to 5.6 V in the embodiment). Also, timer control means for limiting the power supply time to the electrode 6 so that the supply of the predetermined power to the electrode 6 is started after the switch 27 is turned on and is not continuously supplied beyond the predetermined time defined as the timer operation time. Is provided with a timer circuit 25B.

In the first embodiment, as the switch 27, an automatic return type push-type switch that is turned on when the operation unit 27P is pushed and automatically turned off when the push is released is adopted, and the timer circuit 25B is activated when the switch 27 is turned on. The electric power of the battery 24 is supplied to the electrode 6 for a time (10 seconds in the embodiment).

The 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. The capacitor C is instantaneously charged by 5 V, the transistor TR1 is turned on (conducted), and thereby the switching transistor TR2 is turned on (conducted). 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 5.5V to 5.V between the lines L1 and L2 (earth line). A voltage boosted to 6V appears, and this boosted voltage is applied between the plus electrode 6A and the minus electrode 6B, and sterilizing ozone water is generated in the electrolysis chamber 5S. Further, the LED 26 is lit (emitted) by 5.5V to 5.6V between the lines L1 and L2 (earth line), and the user can visually recognize that the sterilizing ozone water is being generated.

Since the switch 27 is automatically turned off instantaneously after being turned on, the voltage of the capacitor C is discharged through the resistor R when the switch 27 is turned on, and accordingly, the input level of the transistor TR1 is lowered and the transistor TR1 is turned off (non-switched). Conduction). 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 operated again.

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.

In addition, in order to eject ozone water for sterilization, when switch 27 is once turned on but it is desired to cancel the sterilization operation, it is automatically turned on when the operation unit is pressed in parallel with capacitor C and released. An automatic return type push switch 27A that is turned off is provided. As a result, the switch 27 is turned on, but immediately by turning on the switch 27A, the charged voltage of the capacitor C is instantaneously discharged through the switch 27A, and the transistor TR1 is turned off (non-conducting), whereby the switching transistor Since TR2 is turned off (non-conducting), the application of 1.5V of the power source battery 24 to the booster circuit 25A is stopped, the power supply between the positive electrode 6A and the negative electrode 6B is stopped, and the inside of the electrolysis chamber 5S The production of ozone water for sterilization is stopped.

As shown in FIG. 16, 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 source battery 24 is applied with 1.5V through the switching transistor TR2, and the operation of the booster circuit 25A causes 5.5V to 5.V between the lines L1 and L2 (earth line). A voltage boosted to 6V 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 an AA of 1.2V to 1.5V or A AAA battery can be used, and the portable electrolyzed water sprayer 1 can be reduced in size. 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 is operated by the operation of the manual switch 27, the booster circuit 25A as the boosting unit is operated 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 effect of suppressing power consumption can be exhibited.

As a method for supplying power from the power source battery 24 to the electrode 6 as the portable electrolyzed water sprayer 1, the switch 27 is turned on when the user uses the portable electrolyzed water sprayer 1 without providing the timer circuit 25B. It is also possible to turn off the switch 27 when the use is finished, but if the switch 27 is forgotten to be turned off, the power of the battery 24 continues to be supplied to the electrode 6, so that the so-called battery 24 runs out. It is easy to become the state of. However, this can be prevented by the timer circuit 25B. Note that the switch 27 may have another form in which the operation unit is pivotable.

The portable electrolyzed water sprayer 1 of the present invention has a cylindrical shape for the convenience of carrying it 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 having a diameter of 22 mm, and a nozzle cover 18 having a cylindrical shape having a diameter of 17 mm. The entire length is 163 mm, the length of the power supply unit 3 is 78 mm, the length of the tank unit 2 is 53 mm, the length of the protective body 20 is 6 mm, and the protruding length of the nozzle cover 18 is 26 mm.

Then, as shown in FIG. 9, three plate electrodes are arranged opposite to each other so that the plus electrodes 6A and the minus electrodes 6B are alternately arranged, and the middle plate electrode is set as the plus electrode 6A, and the plate electrodes on both sides thereof. Is the negative electrode 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 5.5V to 5.6V by boosting the AA battery 24 of 1.2V to 1.5V by the boosting circuit 25A. The areas of the opposing 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.

As described above, the present invention provides a miniaturized portable electrolyzed water sprayer 1 that sprays electrolyzed water every time the push portion 4P is pushed with a finger. Provided is a technique capable of removing generated bubbles and preventing reduction of active oxygen species caused by water remaining between energized electrodes.

The present invention sets the relationship between the amount of water sprayed by one push of the push portion 4P and the volume between the

electrodes

6A and 6B as a predetermined state, and between the

electrodes

6A and 6B every time one push is performed. Allow the water to change. In order to sufficiently achieve this switching, at least the positive electrode 6A and the negative electrode are set by setting the amount of water stored between the

electrodes

6A and 6B slightly smaller than the amount of water sprayed by one push. The total amount of water stored between 6B moves to the spray mechanism unit 4.

That is, every time the push portion 4P of the push type spray mechanism unit 4 is pushed one time, the total amount of the electrolyzed water in the cylindrical electrolysis unit 5 moves to the push type spray mechanism unit 4 or the electrolyzed water in the cylindrical electrolysis unit 5 The total amount of the water and the amount of water in the water tank portion 2 flowing into the cylindrical electrolysis portion 5 from the inflow hole 5E are moved to the push type spray mechanism portion 4.

This is because each time the push part 4P is pushed, the electrolyzed water of the cylindrical electrolysis part 5 is sprayed and the water in the water tank part 2 flows into the cylindrical electrolysis part 5, so that the positive electrode 6A and the negative electrode Since the entire amount of water stored between 6B moves to the push type spray mechanism 4, the bubbles generated between the electrodes can be removed for each push. In this case, even if a part of the water stored between the plus electrode 6A and the minus electrode 6B is not sprayed by one push and a part of the water returns from the push type spray mechanism 4 to the electrolysis unit 5, it is once plus. Since the entire amount of water stored between the electrode 6A and the negative electrode 6B flows out between the electrodes, the water between the electrodes is replaced every time one push is performed. For this reason, bubbles generated between the electrodes can be removed for each push, and it can be solved that the current flow necessary for electrolysis is obstructed by the bubbles.

As another method, the amount of water sprayed by one push of the push portion 4P is equal to or more than the maximum amount of water stored between the plus electrode 6A and the minus electrode 6B when the electrolysis is effectively performed. As shown, the amount of water sprayed by one push and the maximum amount of water stored between the plus electrode 6A and the minus electrode 6B are determined. In the embodiment, the amount of water sprayed by one push is 0.1 ml, the maximum amount of water stored between the plus electrode 6A and the minus electrode 6B is 0.06 ml, and the amount of water is stored between the plus electrode 6A and the minus electrode 6B. 0.06 milliliter or more of water is sprayed from the nozzle 4A with one push.

The battery 24 may be any battery that has a large output and can be used for several months to several years after being fully charged once.

In order to make it possible to see through the amount of water stored in the tank portion 2 and to improve the design effect, the water passage hole surrounds the tubular water tank portion 2 in the tank portion 2. A cylindrical decorative cylinder 50 having 50A is accommodated. The cylindrical decorative cylinder 50 is made of a punching metal made of stainless steel having a large number of water passage holes 50A for allowing water in the water tank portion 2 to freely flow. In addition, the cylindrical decorative cylinder 50 is formed so that the electrolytic section 5 can be seen through the cylindrical decorative cylinder 50, or the cylindrical water tank section 2 is formed of transparent acrylic in a state where the cylindrical decorative cylinder 50 is not provided. By forming the cylindrical body 5P of the portion 5 with a transparent material, the amount of water stored in the tank portion 2 and the electrolysis portion 5 can be seen through. 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.

In addition, although the portable electrolyzed water sprayer 1 is a form which can be carried in a handbag etc., as shown in FIG. 1, the ring 51 for a strap latching is provided in the outer surface upper part of the tank part 2, and is used. The person can attach an arbitrary strap.

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 is used for a long time and scales such as calcium adhere to the surface of the electrode 6 and the electrolysis action is hindered, the spray mechanism unit 4 is sometimes replaced with the tank unit 2. The scale of calcium etc. adhering to the surface of the electrode 6 can be removed by removing from the tank and washing the inside of the tank unit 2 with citric acid.

In the second embodiment, the same reference numerals as those in the first embodiment are assigned to the same elements as those in the first embodiment, and description thereof is omitted.
As shown in FIGS. 17 to 19, the portable electrolyzed water sprayer 1 according to the second embodiment has a cylindrical shape such as a cylindrical shape, an elliptical shape, or a polygonal shape, and has a top surface opening 2A in the middle portion. This is a configuration in which a tubular water tank portion 2 made of plastic is disposed, a power supply portion 3 is disposed in the lower portion, and a push type spray mechanism portion 4 made of synthetic resin is disposed in the upper portion. FIG. 17 shows a portable electrolytic apparatus in which a cylindrical main body 1A is formed as a cylindrical main body 1A by a water tank 2 and a power supply 3 having substantially the same diameter, and a push type spray mechanism 4 is arranged thereon. A water sprayer 1 is shown.

In Example 2, as shown in FIG. 19, a communication passage member 13 extending into the water tank 2 is integrally provided in the spray main body 4B.

As shown in FIG. 21, the spray main body 4B may have a configuration formed by a top member 4B1, which is a separate member whose upper surface is integrated by adhesion or the like.

The assembly of the portable electrolyzed water sprayer 1 of Example 2 will be described with reference to FIG. With the upper support portion 17B attached to the cylindrical electrolysis unit 5 in advance, the inner surface of the decorative cylinder 50 and the disc-like support portion 17C of the upper support portion 17B are pressed against each other, and the upper portion of the cylindrical electrolysis unit 5 is supported. It is the composition which becomes. 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.

In a 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 supply opening of the water tank unit 2 is opened. Water is supplied from 2A to the water tank 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 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. 23, the push part 4P biased upward from the main body part 4B by the coil spring 8 is pushed down 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 outlet path 7B, and the air in the pump chamber 16 is pushed into the air introduction portion 4P2 of the push portion 4P. From the position past 9, pressurized air acts on the upper surface space AS of the water surface HL in the water tank 2 through the communication passage 15, and the water in the water tank 2 is electrolyzed from the inlet 5 E by this pressurized air. It is pushed into part 5. 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 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 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, in Example 2, 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 part 53 is formed with a through hole 53Q into which the cylindrical electrolysis part 5 is inserted and a through hole 53P for passing water injected from the water supply opening 2A into the water tank part 2.

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 with the configuration of FIG. 19, 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.

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 second embodiment, the switch 27 is turned on and off by operating the nozzle cover 18.

As shown in FIG. 22, the switch 27 includes a fixed-side primary contact piece FT and a movable-side secondary contact piece ST. The primary-side contact piece FT includes a cylindrical main body 1A ( Connected to the lead wire extending to the cylindrical water tank portion 2), the plus side contact piece FT1 and the minus side contact piece FT2 are provided in the main body portion 4B in a separated state. 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, respectively.

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-facing 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 A and the spray opening 18 A formed in the nozzle cover 18 do not match, and the nozzle 4 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 of FIG. 25 described above, 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. 23, the nozzle cover 18 is rotated to a state where 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, by pushing down the nozzle cover 18, the push unit 4P is simultaneously pushed down (pushed). As shown in FIG. 26, while the notch 55 is fitted to the locking projection 56, the primary side contact piece FT short-circuits (closes) the secondary side contact piece ST and the switch 27 is kept in the ON state. The electrolyzed water is ejected from the nozzle 4A. Every time the nozzle cover 18 is pushed down in the state of FIG. 24, 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. 22 or when the nozzle cover 18 is rotated as shown in FIG. 25, 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. 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. 28 shows the configuration of the control circuit unit 25 in the second embodiment.

Capacitor C is charged only when switch 27 is ON. By providing charging voltage application circuit 27C so that capacitor C is not charged even if switch 27 continues to be ON, the function of timer circuit 25B is activated. 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.

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

The portable electrolyzed water sprayer 1 of the present invention has a cylindrical shape for the convenience of carrying it in a handbag or the like. One 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.

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. The nozzle cover 18 is formed by fitting using the slight elasticity of 18. Although arc-shaped range of groove in the circumferential direction of the (in the left-right direction) rotation can be made 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.

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 third embodiment, the same reference numerals as those in the first or second embodiment are assigned to the same elements as those in the first or second embodiment, and the description thereof is omitted.
As shown in FIGS. 29, 30, and 31, the portable electrolyzed water sprayer 1 according to Example 3 has a cylindrical shape such as a cylindrical shape, an elliptical shape, or a polygonal shape, and has an upper surface opening 2A in the middle portion. It has a configuration in which a cylindrical water tank portion 2 made of synthetic resin is arranged, a power supply portion 3 is arranged in the lower portion, and a push type spray mechanism portion 4 made of synthetic resin is arranged in the upper portion. In FIG. 29, a cylindrical body portion 1A made of synthetic resin is formed as a cylindrical body portion 1A made of synthetic resin by a water tank portion 2 and a power supply portion 3 having substantially the same diameter, and a push type spray is formed thereon. The portable electrolyzed water sprayer 1 which has arrange | positioned the mechanism part 4 is shown.

In Example 3, the outer appearance suitable for carrying around in a handbag or the like is formed into a cylindrical shape, and as shown in FIG. 35, the electrolysis water is manually pushed by the spray mechanism 4 while being held with one hand. It is set as the functional structure which can be sprayed arbitrarily. In this case, when not used for sterilization, the generation of electrolyzed water is not necessary. At that time, when the portable electrolyzed water sprayer 1 is used for sterilization without supplying power from the battery 24 to the electrolysis unit 5. In addition, a switch 27 is provided to start the generation of electrolyzed water. In this case, a new portable electrolyzed water sprayer 1 that is easy to operate is provided by adopting a configuration in which the switch 27 can be easily operated.

For this reason, in Example 3, the spray mechanism part 4 which sprays electrolyzed water is arrange | positioned on the upper part of the cylindrical main-body part 1A provided with the water tank part 2 by which the electrolysis part 5 for electrolyzed water production | generation was arrange | positioned inside, and electrolysis A capacitive switch 27 is employed as the switch 27 for starting the generation of water.

As shown in FIG. 33, the capacitance type switch 27 includes a detection unit (corresponding to an electrode unit) 27K and a detection circuit 27D, and the detection circuit 27D includes an oscillation circuit 27C and a switch circuit 27S. In this case, detection of the capacitance type switch 27 that starts energization to the electrolysis unit 5 by detecting a change in capacitance caused by the user's hand touching a part of the portable electrolyzed water sprayer 1. Part (corresponding to the electrode part) 27K is provided.

In this regard, FIG. 32 shows a specific configuration in which the detection unit 27K is provided in the push unit 4P of the spray mechanism unit 4. In FIG. 32, the detection unit 27K is arranged as a flat electrode in a state substantially parallel to the top surface top portion 4P1 in the flat top surface top portion 4P1 of the push portion 4P made of synthetic resin. The detection unit 27K is electrically connected to the plate-like conductive portion ST provided on the side surface portion of the push portion 4P, and the plate-like conductive portion ST and the plate-like conductive portion FT provided on the side surface portion of the spray body 4B are The electrical connection is also maintained during the push-down (push) of the push part 4P. Further, the plate-like conductive portion FT is connected to the detection circuit 27D by a lead wire 58.

As shown in FIG. 35, when the user grips and uses the portable electrolyzed water sprayer 1 by hand, the user touches the top surface top portion 4P1 to touch the push portion 4P (touch), The capacitance of the detection unit 27K changes (increases), whereby the oscillation frequency of the oscillation circuit 27C decreases from the basic frequency and decreases, and the switch circuit 27S is energized (closed in the case of a contact). When the switch circuit 27S is energized, the booster circuit 25A of the control circuit unit 25 operates, and the voltage of the power supply battery 24 is boosted by the booster circuit 25A and applied to the electrode 6 with a predetermined voltage (5.5 V in the embodiment). ~ 5.6V) is applied. For this reason, electrolyzed water is produced in the electrolysis unit 5.

In this way, when the user touches (touches) the upper surface top 4P1 of the push part 4P and subsequently pushes down (pushes) the push part 4P, the electrolyzed water passes through the electrolyzed water lead-out path 7 and passes through the nozzle 4A. Erupts from.

FIG. 34 shows a configuration in which the detector 27K is provided in the main body 1A of the portable electrolyzed water sprayer 1. The detection part (corresponding to the electrode part) 27K of the capacitance type switch 27 in this case is, for example, in the side surface part of the synthetic resin water tank part 2 or in the synthetic resin housing 23 of the power supply part 3. A cylindrical electrode 27K is arranged as a plate-like electrode. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 35, when the user grasps the water tank 2 of the portable electrolyzed water sprayer 1 by hand, the capacitance of the detection unit 27K changes (increases), thereby causing the oscillation circuit 27C to The oscillation frequency deviates from the fundamental frequency and decreases, and the switch circuit 27S is energized (closed in the case of a contact). When the switch circuit 27S is energized, the booster circuit 25A of the control circuit unit 25 operates, and the voltage of the power supply battery 24 is boosted by the booster circuit 25A and applied to the electrode 6 with a predetermined voltage (5.5 V in the embodiment). ~ 5.6V) is applied. For this reason, electrolyzed water is produced in the electrolysis unit 5.

Therefore, when the user holds down the water tank portion 2 and pushes down (pushes) the push portion 4P, the electrolyzed water is ejected from the nozzle 4A through the electrolyzed water outlet passage 7.

In the above case, the configuration of the detection unit 27K is configured with one electrode. However, when the configuration of the detection unit 27K is configured with two electrodes, the detection unit 27K is connected to the portable electrolyzed water sprayer 1. The main body 1 A and the push portion 4 P of the spray mechanism portion 4 are configured by an AND action. Specifically, one detection unit 27K (electrode) is arranged on the push unit 4P of the spray mechanism unit 4 as in FIG. 32, and the other detection unit 27K (electrode) is installed in the portable electrolyzed water sprayer as in FIG. One main body 1A, for example, a side surface of the water tank 2 is disposed in a cylindrical shape as a plate-like electrode. In this case, as shown in FIG. 35, the user grasps the water tank 2 of the portable electrolyzed water sprayer 1 with his / her hand and touches the upper surface top 4P1 with his / her finger in order to push the push 4P (touch). As a result, the capacitance of the detection unit 27K configured by the two electrodes changes (increases), whereby the oscillation frequency of the oscillation circuit 27C decreases from the basic frequency and the switch circuit 27S is energized. (Closed for contacts). When the switch circuit 27S is energized, the booster circuit 25A of the control circuit unit 25 operates, and the voltage of the power supply battery 24 is boosted by the booster circuit 25A and applied to the electrode 6 with a predetermined voltage (5.5 V in the embodiment). ~ 5.6V) is applied. For this reason, electrolyzed water is produced in the electrolysis unit 5.

Note that the timer circuit 25B is provided in the control circuit unit 25, and the switch circuit 27S is energized (closed in the case of a contact), whereby the timer circuit 25B of the control circuit unit 25 operates, and a predetermined value is determined by the operation of the timer circuit 25B. It is possible to apply a predetermined voltage (5.5 V to 5.6 V in the embodiment) to the electrode 6 by boosting the voltage of the power source battery 24 by the booster circuit 25A for a time (for example, 10 seconds). Thereby, the generation time of electrolyzed water can be limited.

As described above, in the case where the configuration of the detection unit 27K is configured by one electrode or the configuration of the detection unit 27K is configured by two electrodes, when the timer circuit 25B is provided, When the state where the user touches (touches) the upper surface top portion 4P1 of the push portion 4P without ejecting the electrolyzed water for a long time, or when the user manually touches the portable electrolyzed water sprayer 1 When the state of holding the water tank 2 for a long time is long, it is possible to prevent the power of the power supply battery 24 from being consumed unnecessarily.

That is, the timer circuit 25B is provided in 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) due to the operation of the timer circuit 25B. In this case, energization of the electrode 6 ends, and the power of the battery 24 can be prevented from continuing to be supplied to the electrode 6. Then, after the predetermined time (for example, 10 seconds) has elapsed, the electrolysis section 5 is not electrolyzed unless the switch circuit 27S is again energized (closed in the case of a contact).

Thus, the electrolyzed water can be sprayed each time by pushing the push portion 4P a plurality of times during the predetermined time (10 seconds in the embodiment). Since the LED 26 emits light during this predetermined time (10 seconds in the embodiment), it can be seen that the electrolysis is performed in the electrolysis unit 5. When this predetermined time (10 seconds in the embodiment) has elapsed, the LED 26 is turned off (non-light-emitting). However, if the switch circuit 27S is again energized (closed in the case of a contact), the predetermined time (the embodiment) will be described. 10 seconds), and the LED 26 emits light, so that by pushing the push portion 4P a plurality of times within this time, the electrolyzed water can be sprayed each time.

FIG. 36 shows the configuration of the control circuit unit 25 in the third embodiment. In FIG. 11, the switch circuit 27S has a circuit configuration in which the energized state (closed in the case of a contact) is completed in a short time. The energized state of the switch circuit 27S (closed in the case of a contact) is considerably shorter than a predetermined time (for example, 10 seconds) by the operation of the timer circuit 25B, and is, for example, 0.5 seconds within 1 second.

The 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. As described above, the energized state of the switch circuit 27S (closed in the case of a contact) is short. When the time (for example, 0.5 seconds) is reached, the capacitor C is instantaneously charged to a predetermined voltage by 1.2 V to 1.5 V of the power source battery 24 in this short time (for example, 0.5 seconds), and the transistor TR1 is turned on (conducted), whereby the switching transistor TR2 is turned on (conducted). 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 5.5V to 5.V between the lines L1 and L2 (earth line). A voltage boosted to 6V appears, and this boosted voltage is applied between the plus electrode 6A and the minus electrode 6B, and sterilizing ozone water is generated in the electrolysis chamber 5S. Further, the LED 26 is lit (emitted) by 5.5V to 5.6V between the lines L1 and L2 (earth line), and the user can visually recognize that the sterilizing ozone water is being generated.

Then, after the capacitor C is charged to a predetermined voltage, 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 in a non-energized state (open in the case of a contact). 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, as described above, when the configuration of the detection unit 27K is configured by one electrode, the user releases the finger from the top surface top 4P1 of the push unit 4P and touches again. (Touch) or the user re-holds the water tank part 2 of the portable electrolyzed water sprayer 1 or the detection part 27K is composed of two electrodes. While holding the water tank portion 2 of the portable electrolyzed water sprayer 1, the user releases the finger from the top surface top portion 4P1 of the push portion 4P and touches it again (touches), and again performs the switch circuit 27S. May be energized (closed for contacts).
