Description

  The present invention relates to an apparatus for producing high-concentration oxygen water that forcibly adds and mixes oxygen gas into drinking water without using electric power.

When producing high-concentration oxygen water, separately from oxygen water in which oxygen gas is naturally dissolved in water, it is manufactured by forcibly adding oxygen gas into water and stirring and dissolving it with a mixer. Yes. However, when producing high-concentration oxygen water, an electric pump is used to feed the raw water, a mixer is used to stir the raw water and oxygen gas, or a compressor is used to add oxygen gas to the raw water. It has become common. In either case, since it is necessary to use electric power as an energy source, there is a restriction that oxygen water cannot be easily produced in a place where electricity cannot be used.
There is also known an apparatus for supplying oxygen using an oxygen cylinder filled with compressed oxygen gas while adjusting the discharge amount from the oxygen cylinder with a potential valve (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
JP-A-6-159715

  However, in the above conventional oxygen supply device, it is necessary to use electric power as an energy source, that is, commercial electricity or a battery at the site of oxygen water production, so in places such as outdoors where electric power cannot be used, There was a problem that oxygen water could not be produced.

  The present invention uses the pressure of a high-pressure oxygen gas cylinder filled with oxygen gas necessary for the production of oxygen water as an alternative energy source for electrical power, and does not require electrical power at the site where high-concentration oxygen water is produced. An object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus for producing oxygen water.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a gas pipe 9 connected to a water tank 8 having a sealing lid 8a, a low pressure gas pressure adjusting valve 10, a gas vent valve 11, a connecting portion 9a, a second connecting portion 9b, and a static mixer. 16 and a faucet 15, the connecting portion 9 a and the high pressure gas pressure adjusting valve 3 are connected by a low pressure gas hose 6, and the high pressure gas pressure adjusting valve 3 and the oxygen cylinder 1 are connected by a high pressure gas pipe 5. A check pipe 13 and a water flow adjusting valve 14 are provided in a water pipe 12 connecting the tank 8 and the second connecting portion 9b, and one of oxygen gases having a pressure from the oxygen cylinder 1 passes through the gas pipe 9. The oxygen gas is supplied to the static mixer 16 and the closed faucet 15 side, and the other oxygen gas is added and mixed into the water in the water tank 8 sealed through the degassing valve 11 and the low pressure gas pressure regulating valve 10. Water mixed with pressurized oxygen and is characterized in that for stirring and mixing the oxygen gas while passing through the static mixer 16 through the water pipe 12. The high pressure gas pressure regulating valve 3 has a pressure regulating handle 3c, a high pressure gauge 3a for displaying the pressure in the oxygen cylinder 1, and a primary low pressure gauge 3b for displaying the pressure in the gas pipe 9. It is characterized by. The low-pressure gas pressure regulating valve 10 regulates the pressure in the low-pressure gas hose 6 below a set pressure by a secondary low-pressure gas gauge 10b by operating a handle 10a provided on the gas pressure regulating valve. To do. Further, the water tank 8 is provided with a water level indicator 19 provided on one side and a safety valve 20 for regulating the pressure in the water tank to a set pressure or less.

  The gas pressure in the oxygen cylinder 1 must be secured to 0.2 Mpa or more, which is a normal pressure in this apparatus. The high pressure gas pressure adjusting valve 3 is opened and adjusted to a pressure lower than the normal pressure. If it is sent to one side via the gas pipe 9 and supplied into the sealed water tank 8, the pressurized oxygen gas is added and mixed into the water and becomes the energy for operation for stirring and mixing, and at the bottom of the water tank It flows out of the water tank from the connected water pipe 12. In this case, the pressure in the gas pipe 9 can be confirmed primarily with the primary low-pressure gauge 3b, and secondarily with the secondary low-pressure gauge 10b. Further, tertiaryly, since the safety valve 20 provided in the water tank 8 operates, it is extremely safe as a pressure device.

  The other of the oxygen gas is supplied to the static mixer 16 through the gas pipe 9, and when the faucet 15 is opened, the mixer further adds water mixed with oxygen flowing out of the water tank 8 through the water pipe 12 by the mixer. Oxygen gas is mixed with stirring and flows out from the faucet 15, and has a function of efficiently mixing oxygen gas with a static mixer having no moving parts, so that high-concentration oxygen water can be obtained.

  The present invention utilizes the gas pressure possessed by an oxygen gas cylinder to supply oxygen water, such as feeding raw water, adding oxygen gas to the raw water, and mixing raw water and oxygen gas by a static mixer having no moving parts. Since no electricity or electrical power is used at the time of production, high-concentration oxygen water can be easily produced even in places such as outdoors where no electrical equipment is required. Further, if it is configured to be portable, it can be easily transported, and high-concentration oxygen water can be produced even in places where there is no electrical equipment, so it has the advantage of extremely high convenience.

Hereinafter, the configuration of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 shows an embodiment according to the present invention, and a high-pressure gas pressure adjustment equipped with an openable / closable main plug 2 attached to an oxygen cylinder 1, a high-pressure gauge 3a and a primary low-pressure gauge 3b and a pressure adjustment handle 3c. The valve 3 is connected by a high-pressure gas pipe 5. Further, the high pressure gas pressure adjusting valve 3 and a connecting portion 9 a provided at a substantially middle portion of a gas pipe 9 connected to a sealed water tank 8 described later are connected by a low pressure gas hose 6.

  A removable screw-type sealing lid 8 a is attached to the top of the sealed water tank 8, and a low-pressure gas pressure adjustment is made to a gas pipe or a gas hose 9 having one end connected to the upper side of the water tank 8. The valve 10, the gas vent valve 11 and the connecting portion 9a are connected to each other. The low pressure gas pressure adjusting valve 10 is provided with a flow rate adjusting handle 10a, a water tank 8 and a secondary low pressure gas gauge 10b for checking the pressure in the gas pipe 9. The primary pressure in the low pressure gas hose 6 is confirmed by the primary low pressure gas gauge 3b. Further, a water pipe 12 connected to the bottom of the water tank 8 is connected to a second connecting portion 9b provided on the front end side of the gas pipe 9, and a check valve 13 and a water flow adjusting valve 14 are connected to the water pipe 12. It is. And the static mixer 16 which does not have a movable part is connected between the faucet 15 which can be opened and closed by handle operation at the front-end | tip of this gas pipe 9, and the 2nd connection part 9b of this gas pipe 9.

  In the figure, reference numeral 17 denotes a container such as a cup or pet pot for storing or filling the high-concentration oxygen water flowing out from the tap 15, or a container that can be sealed. Furthermore, a water level indicator 19 is attached to one side of the water tank 8, and a safety valve 20 is attached to the indicator 19. This safety valve 20 may be provided directly in the water tank 8.

  Next, the operation of the present apparatus will be described. As a preparation before the operation of the present apparatus, all the valves such as the high pressure gas pressure regulating valve 3, the low pressure gas pressure regulating valve 10, the faucet 15 and the gas vent valve 11 are closed. To do. Then, a screw-type sealing lid 8 a provided at the top of the sealed water tank 8 is opened, and an appropriate amount of drinking water serving as raw water is filled into the water tank 8. In this case, since the water level indicator 19 is provided on one side of the water tank 8, the water level of the tap water stored in the water tank 8 can be confirmed from the outside. Further, when the pressure inside the water tank 8 becomes high due to a failure of the low-pressure gas regulating valve 10 or an error in pressure regulation, the water level is instructed directly or directly to the water tank 8 in order to prevent the water tank from bursting. The safety valve 20 provided in the total 19 is activated, and has an action of lowering the internal pressure of the water tank 8 to a set value.

  A predetermined amount of water is accommodated in the water tank 8, then the sealing lid 8 a is closed to seal the water tank 8, and then oxygen is supplied from the oxygen cylinder 1 filled with high-pressure oxygen gas from the normal pressure for operation. In order to supply gas to the gas pipe 9, the main plug 2 is rotated and opened to supply oxygen gas to the high-pressure gas pipe 5. In this case, it is confirmed with the high-pressure gauge 3a that the gas pressure in the oxygen cylinder is ensured to be a pressure normally used in the present apparatus, for example, approximately 0.2 Mpa or more. This normal pressure can be adjusted as necessary.

  Further, when the pressure adjustment handle 3c provided in the high pressure gas pressure adjusting valve 3 is gradually opened, the oxygen gas from the oxygen cylinder 1 passes through the low pressure gas hose 6 and the connecting portion 9a via the high pressure gas pressure adjusting valve. And supplied to the gas pipe 9. Then, one of the oxygen gas passes through the gas vent valve 11 by opening the gas vent valve 11 and reaches the low pressure gas pressure adjusting valve 10. The pressure at this time can be confirmed with the primary low-pressure gas gauge 3b. In this case, the regulating valve 10 is closed.

  Next, the handle 10a of the low pressure gas pressure adjusting valve 10 in the closed state is turned and gradually opened, and the numerical values of the secondary low pressure gas gauge 10b displaying the pressure in the water tank 8 and the low pressure gas hose 6 are confirmed. However, the oxygen gas adjusted to a pressure lower than the above-mentioned gas set pressure, for example, about 0.1 Mpa, is supplied into the water tank 8 from one end of the gas pipe 9 and is operated for producing oxygen water, that is, water. Gas having a pressure is mixed therein, and the water tank 8 is sealed, so that it is in a pressurized state necessary for addition and mixing, and is agitated and mixed while generating a water flow in the water in the water tank 8. The water mixed with oxygen gas flows out of the water tank from the water pipe 12 connected to the bottom portion of the water tank 8. The water pipe 12 and the water tank 8 are always in communication.

  On the other hand, the oxygen gas supplied from the oxygen cylinder 1 via the low-pressure gas hose 6 reaches the faucet 15 which is closed via the connecting part 9a, the gas pipe 9, the second connecting part 9b and the static mixer 16 at the same time. The gas flow stops.

  Next, when the faucet 15 is opened, oxygen water from the pressurized water tank 8 is supplied via the water pipe 12, the check valve 13 and the static mixer 16, and flows out from the faucet 15 to the outside. At this time, the oxygen gas in the gas pipe 9 in a pressurized state higher than the pressure in the water pipe 12 connected to the bottom of the water tank 8 is also provided with a check valve 13 in the water pipe 9. The oxygen gas in the water pipe 12 does not flow into the water tank 8 but flows into the static mixer 16 and then flows out through the open faucet 15.

  In this case, the oxygen gas in the gas pipe 9 does not flow into the water tank 8, but the mixing and stirring action by the mixer 16 when passing through the static mixer 16 with a certain flow rate of oxygen gas together with the oxygen gas and water. As a result, the oxygen gas is refined and instantly dissolved in water, and then becomes highly concentrated oxygen water and flows out from the tap 15 to the outside.

  After the required amount of high-concentration oxygen water is accommodated or filled in a container 17 such as a cup, the faucet 15 is tightened to stop the flow of high-concentration oxygen water, and the production operation of oxygen water is completed. If high-concentration oxygen water is produced again, the above procedure may be reproduced.

  Furthermore, when the oxygen dissolution concentration of oxygen water is changed depending on the application, the water flow adjustment valve 14 may be adjusted as appropriate. Furthermore, when the increase / decrease adjustment of the amount of oxygen water is desired, the concentration can be easily changed by appropriately adjusting the high pressure gas pressure adjustment valve 3 or the low pressure gas pressure adjustment valve 10.

  Further, when a certain static mixer of Patent No. 3688806 owned by the applicant is used for the mixer of this apparatus, for example, an experiment for producing oxygen-dissolved water of normal tap water and oxygen gas in the Kanto district in summer Then, the natural dissolved oxygen concentration of tap water which is raw water was 7 ppm. On the other hand, the water production apparatus was able to obtain high-concentration oxygen water having a dissolved oxygen concentration of 37 to 40 ppm after the treatment of mixing oxygen into the raw water in a one-pass treatment. In this experiment, in order to increase the oxygen gas dissolution rate, the water temperature was controlled to be cooled to 20 ° C. using an electric cooler, and the oxygen concentration was measured with a dissolved oxygen concentration meter.

  It has been found that, for example, when a high-concentration oxygen water produced by the production apparatus according to the present invention is fed to a racehorse, the racehorse is not easily found or fatigue recovery is effective. At present, there is no solid scientific data, but drinking of high-concentration oxygen water has begun to pay attention to its effects on humans, especially athletes.

  Moreover, although oxygen contained in ordinary water is about 5 to 7 ppm, high-concentration oxygen water is weak enough to show the belly upward, for example, in an oxygen concentration of 50 ppm. When I put in a rock fish, I immediately showed a recovery after rinsing and swimming. Also, in this experiment, about 10 cultured rock fish were transported in high-concentration oxygen water (water mixed to an oxygen concentration of about 50 ppm) in a container in the early morning, and it was confirmed in this experiment that everything was alive until the evening. . Conventionally, it has been said that when a rockfish or the like is housed in a normal water-filled container, it does not take several hours.

It is the piping figure which showed the manufacturing apparatus of the high concentration oxygen water which concerns on this invention.
