Description

  The present invention relates to functional water in which oxygen is dissolved at a high concentration, and a method and apparatus for producing the same.

  In recent years, various functional waters in which oxygen is dissolved at a high concentration have been proposed, and one of them is drinking water. Oxygen can be inhaled and ingested from the lungs, and can also be ingested from the stomach and intestines by drinking such water. Ingesting oxygen promotes the decomposition of alcohol contained in alcohol. Degradation of lactic acid produced during exercise, preventing hangovers, preventing the ability of carbon monoxide contained in cigarette smoke to reduce oxygen supply to various parts of the body, enhancing metabolism and promoting waste discharge It has been confirmed that it has the effect of promoting fatigue and preventing fatigue.

  And what is disclosed by Unexamined-Japanese-Patent No. 2001-292748 is known as said drinking water, for example, this drinking water takes in deep sea water from the deep sea, and adjusts it to predetermined salt concentration The oxygen is dissolved in the water to increase the dissolved oxygen amount from 6-8 mg / l to 25-30 mg / l, and the water after the oxygen dissolution treatment is filled in the bottle and sealed. . Thus, since the amount of dissolved oxygen is high and the deep sea water contains various natural mineral components, the commercial value as drinking water for the purpose of promoting health is high.

  As a method for dissolving oxygen in water (drinking water), for example, as disclosed in drinking water according to JP-A-10-314561, air or oxygen gas generated by an oxygen generator is used. By passing through water, oxygen can be dissolved in the water.

JP 2001-292748 A Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-314561

  However, in the above-mentioned conventional drinking water, when the bottle is opened, the drinking water in the bottle touches the air, and dissolved oxygen is released into the air, so that the amount of dissolved oxygen decreases with the passage of time, Within a short time, it will drop to the same level as before the oxygen dissolution treatment.

  For this reason, when you open the bottle, you must drink all the drinking water in the bottle at once, or discard the amount that you have not been able to drink. However, since the amount of dissolved oxygen is low, it is difficult to obtain the above effects, and it is impossible to drink as much as you want.

  As described above, functional water represented by the above-mentioned drinking water or the like has a large amount of dissolved oxygen immediately after the oxygen dissolution treatment. There was a problem that it was reduced to an equivalent level.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and has a large amount of oxygen dissolved immediately after the oxygen dissolution treatment, and a functional water in which the amount of dissolved oxygen is difficult to decrease even when left in the atmosphere, and a method for producing the same And the provision of manufacturing equipment.

To achieve the above object, the present invention provides:
Functional water in which oxygen of a natural dissolution concentration or more is dissolved in raw water, and the dissolved amount of oxygen immediately after the treatment in which oxygen is dissolved is 25 to 70 mg / l. Thereafter, it is left in the atmosphere for 24 hours. It relates to functional water characterized in that the amount of dissolved oxygen after the passage is maintained at 15 mg / l or more.

  The functional water may contain at least one of vitamins, minerals, amino acids or drugs, or may be filled and sealed in a portable container.

  According to such functional water, the amount of dissolved oxygen immediately after the treatment in which oxygen is dissolved is as high as 25 to 70 mg / l. Even if it is left in the atmosphere and touched, the elapsed time is 24. If it is within the time, the amount of dissolved oxygen is kept at a high level of 15 mg / l or more. For example, when used as drinking water, oxygen can be stored even after opening a portable container filled and sealed. The dissolved amount is kept high, and when you want to drink the drinking water (functional water), you can drink only the amount you want to drink, and enough oxygen to get the above effects whenever you drink Can be taken. Thereby, handling of the drinking water becomes easy. The more preferable dissolved oxygen amount after 24 hours is 35 mg / l or more.

  In addition to drinking water, this functional water can also be used as a raw material for pharmaceuticals and cosmetics. For example, when used in eye drops, eyewashes, and skin lotions, oxygen is absorbed from the surface of the eyes and skin. The effect that the metabolism of the lever part is promoted can also be obtained. In addition, the application use of the said functional water shows an example, and is not limited to these.

  Thus, according to the functional water which concerns on this invention, since the amount of dissolved oxygen is hard to fall even if it is left in air | atmosphere, the commercial value of the said functional water can be raised more. Moreover, if at least one of vitamins, minerals, amino acids or drugs is included, the commercial value of the functional water can be further increased.

And this functional water can be suitably manufactured using the following manufacturing methods.
That is, this manufacturing method is
Supplying pressurized oxygen gas into the sealed container body to make the inside of the sealed container body an oxygen gas atmosphere at atmospheric pressure or higher,
Raw water is discharged into the sealed container body, and the discharged raw water is made to flow into a film in the sealed container body so as to come into gas-liquid contact with oxygen gas to generate functional water in which 25 to 70 mg / l of oxygen is dissolved. And
Next, the generated functional water is taken out from the sealed container.

  According to this manufacturing method, the raw water is flown down into a sealed container body in which the oxygen gas pressure is increased to atmospheric pressure or more, and the raw water is brought into contact with oxygen gas from both sides of the water film. Even if the amount of dissolved oxygen is increased from 6-8 mg / l before the treatment to 25-70 mg / l, the oxygen concentration is high, and it is left in the atmosphere for 24 hours, the amount of dissolved oxygen Is produced at a functional water content of 15 mg / l or more, more preferably 35 mg / l or more. This is because when water molecules and oxygen molecules come into contact with each other under a high-pressure oxygen gas atmosphere, some of these ions are ionized, and the water molecules and oxygen molecules are bound together by ionic bonds. Therefore, it is considered that such ionic bonds generate functional water in which high oxygen concentration and oxygen dissolved amount are difficult to decrease. And the produced | generated functional water is taken out from a pre-sealed container body.

  The production method preferably purifies the raw water by reverse osmosis treatment and supplies the purified raw water into the sealed container, and at least one of vitamins, minerals, amino acids or drugs. Is added to the raw water, and then the raw water after the addition treatment is supplied into the sealed container, or at least one of vitamins, minerals, amino acids or drugs is added to the purified raw water, It is preferable to supply raw water after addition treatment into the sealed container body, or to add at least one of vitamins, minerals, amino acids or drugs to the functional water taken out from the sealed container body, Furthermore, the functional water taken out from the inside of the sealed container is sealed after being filled in a portable container, or vitamins, minerals, and amino acids are sealed. The functional water prepared by adding at least one of the acid or drug, it may be sealed after filling into the transportable container.

And this manufacturing method can implement this suitably with the following manufacturing apparatuses.
That is, this manufacturing apparatus

The oxygen dissolution treatment mechanism unit is
An oxygen container comprising an airtight container body and a supply pipe connected to the inside of the airtight container body, wherein oxygen gas is supplied to the airtight container body through the supply pipe to make the inside of the airtight container body an oxygen gas atmosphere at atmospheric pressure or higher. A supply means; and a first water supply pipe having one end connected to the inside of the sealed container body and arranged vertically in the sealed container body, and having a discharge port formed at an upper end surface thereof, from the discharge port of the first water supply pipe Water supply means for discharging the raw water toward the ceiling of the sealed container body, and second water supply connected to the sealed container body and supplying the functional water stored at the bottom of the sealed container body to the outside A pipe, and a first flow restricting member protruding inward from the inner surface of the sealed container body and / or a plate-like second flow restricting member protruding outward from the outer peripheral surface at one end of the first water supply pipe,
The raw water is discharged from the discharge port toward the ceiling of the sealed container body, and is discharged from the discharge port and flows along the inner surface of the sealed container body and / or the outer peripheral surface of the first water supply pipe. Raw water is allowed to flow into the internal space of the sealed container body from the projecting ends of the first and / or second flow control members, thereby allowing the raw water and oxygen gas to be evacuated inside the sealed container body. Configured to contact the liquid to produce the functional water,
The filling processing mechanism unit is configured to seal the functional water supplied from the second water supply pipe of the oxygen dissolution processing mechanism unit after filling the portable container.

  According to this manufacturing apparatus, first, functional water is generated from raw water in the oxygen dissolution treatment mechanism. Specifically, oxygen gas is supplied into the sealed container body through the supply pipe by the oxygen supply means, and after the inside of the sealed container body is brought to an oxygen gas atmosphere at atmospheric pressure or higher, the first water supply means supplies the first gas. Raw water (water before oxygen dissolution) is supplied into the water supply pipe, and the supplied raw water flows through the first water supply pipe and is then discharged from the discharge port into the sealed container.

  The discharged raw water is spouted in a fountain shape (radially around the discharge port) toward the ceiling, collides with the inner surface of the sealed container body such as the ceiling surface and inner peripheral surface, and flows along the inner surface. The raw water that bounces and falls in the inner space of the sealed container body or flows along the outer peripheral surface of the first water supply pipe, and then flows along the inner surface of the sealed container body or the outer peripheral surface of the first water supply pipe. The flow is controlled by each flow control member, and flows down into the inner space of the sealed container body from the protruding end of each flow control member in the form of a thin film and a waterfall.

  The raw water that has flowed through the sealed container body is stored at the bottom of the sealed container body, and the oxygen in contact with the raw water dissolves in the flow process in such an oxygen gas atmosphere. As a result, the oxygen dissolved amount of the raw water is increased from 6-8 mg / l before the treatment to 25-70 mg / l, and it has a high oxygen concentration and 24 hours have passed in the state of being left in the atmosphere. Even so, functional water is produced in which the amount of dissolved oxygen is maintained at 15 mg / l or more, more preferably 35 mg / l or more.

  Then, the functional water (water after oxygen dissolution) stored in the sealed container body is supplied from the second water supply pipe to the outside of the sealed container body by the oxygen gas pressure inside the sealed container body, and the supplied functional water is filled. It is sealed after filling in the portable container by the mechanism. In this way, functional water filled and sealed in the portable container is manufactured.

  The manufacturing apparatus further includes a reverse osmosis treatment mechanism for purifying the raw water, and the water supply means of the oxygen dissolution treatment mechanism is configured to supply the raw water purified by the reverse osmosis treatment mechanism to the first water supply pipe. Preferably, the manufacturing apparatus is further provided with an addition processing mechanism for adding at least one of vitamins, minerals, amino acids or drugs to the raw water, The water supply means of the oxygen dissolution processing mechanism unit is configured to discharge the raw water processed by the addition processing mechanism unit from the discharge port of the first water supply pipe, or the manufacturing apparatus includes vitamins, minerals, amino acids Alternatively, it further includes an addition treatment mechanism that adds at least one of the drugs to the raw water purified by the reverse osmosis treatment mechanism, and the water supply means The raw water processed by the addition processing mechanism is configured to be discharged from the discharge port of the first water supply pipe, or the manufacturing apparatus is configured to dissolve at least one of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, or drugs with the oxygen dissolving An addition processing mechanism unit for adding to the functional water supplied from the second water supply pipe of the processing mechanism unit is further provided, and the filling processing mechanism unit stores the functional water processed by the addition processing mechanism unit in the portable container. It is preferable to be configured to be sealed after filling.

  Thus, according to these functional water manufacturing methods and manufacturing apparatuses, raw water is ejected radially from the discharge port to increase the contact area with the oxygen gas of the raw water, and the inner surface of the sealed container body and the first water supply pipe The flow of the raw water flowing along the outer peripheral surface of the water is controlled by the first flow restricting member and the second flow restricting member, and is formed into a thin film and waterfall from the protruding end of the flow restricting member into the internal space of the sealed container body. Since the oxygen gas pressure inside the sealed container body is further increased, more oxygen can be efficiently supplied to the raw water. It is possible to efficiently produce functional water that has a high oxygen concentration as described above, and that has a low oxygen dissolved amount.

  As described above in detail, according to the functional water according to the present invention, even if the functional water is left in the atmosphere, the functional water is kept in a high oxygen concentration state before the predetermined time elapses. Can add value. In addition, if vitamins, minerals, amino acids or drugs are included, the added value of the functional water can be further increased.

  Moreover, according to the functional water manufacturing method and manufacturing apparatus which concern on this invention, the above functional water can be manufactured suitably.

The third water supply pipe 24 has an inner diameter D2 that is the same as or smaller than the inner diameter D1 of the first and second water supply pipes 23a and 23b. A suction port 24a for supplying to the outside is provided.

  The first, second, and third flow control plates 25, 26, and 27 are formed of flat and annular members that are arranged at predetermined intervals in the vertical direction. The outer peripheral surface is fitted and fixed to the upper inner peripheral surface of the container body 21, and the inner peripheral surface is externally fitted to the upper end portion of the first water supply pipe 23a.

The outer surface of the third flow restricting plate 27 is the upper inner peripheral surface of the container body 21. The second flow restricting plate 26 is disposed below the second flow restricting plate 26.

  The first flow restricting plate 25 is provided with four fan-shaped through holes 25a opened on the front and back, and raw drinking water that flows along the inner peripheral surface of the container body 21 and the outer peripheral surface of the first water supply pipe 23a, The drinking raw water that has bounced off the ceiling surface of the container body 21 is restricted (by controlling the flow of the drinking raw water), and from the through holes 25a of the first restriction plate 25 in the internal space of the container body 21. To flow down into a thin film and waterfall.

  The second baffle plate 26 has an outer peripheral surface (end edge) formed in a zigzag shape. The drinking raw water flowed down by the first baffle plate 25 and the first baffle plate 25 are penetrated through the second baffle plate 26. The raw drinking water that has passed through the hole 25a is flown down and flows down from the outer peripheral portion (projecting end) of the second flow restricting plate 26 into the inner space of the container body 21 in a thin film shape and a waterfall shape.

  The third flow restricting plate 27 has an inner peripheral surface (edge) formed in a zigzag shape, and the drinking raw water flowed and flowed down by the first flow restricting plate 25 and the second flow restricting plate 26, 1 The raw drinking water that has passed through each through hole 25a of the flow restricting plate 25 is flowed, and from the inner peripheral portion (protruding end) of the third flow restricting plate 27 into the inner space of the container body 21 in a thin film shape and a waterfall Let it flow down.

  The water level detection unit 28 is made of a light transmissive material such as glass or resin, and the introduction pipe 28a attached to the outer peripheral surface of the container body 21 with the longitudinal direction extending in the vertical direction, and the container body 21 in the vicinity of the introduction pipe 28a. It consists of two water level sensors 28b, 28c arranged in parallel on the outer peripheral surface.

  The upper and lower ends of the introduction pipe 28a communicate with the inside of the container body 21, and the liquid level in the introduction pipe 28a is raised and lowered according to the water level in the container body 21. Sensors 28b and 28c detect the liquid level position.

  According to the water level detection unit 28, the water level in the container body 21 rises and the liquid level in the introduction pipe 28a rises. When this is detected by the upper water level sensor 28b, the water level in the container body 21 is increased. It is determined that the upper limit has been exceeded, the opening degree of the supply valve 22c is adjusted, and the oxygen gas supply amount is increased. Thereby, the oxygen gas pressure in the container body 21 becomes high, the supply amount to the outside increases, and the water level in the container body 21 falls.

  On the other hand, when the water level in the container body 21 is lowered and the liquid level in the introduction pipe 28a is lowered, and this is detected by the lower water level sensor 28c, it is determined that the water level in the container body 21 has exceeded the lower limit. Thus, the opening degree of the supply valve 22c is adjusted, and the oxygen gas supply amount is reduced. Thereby, the oxygen gas pressure in the container body 21 becomes low, the supply amount to the outside decreases, and the water level in the container body 21 rises.

  Thus, according to the oxygen dissolution treatment mechanism 20, first, oxygen gas is supplied from the oxygen supply source 22a through the supply pipe 22b and the first water supply pipe 23a into the container body 21, and the inside of the container body 21 is large. The atmosphere is an oxygen gas atmosphere above atmospheric pressure.

  Subsequently, when the drinking raw water (water before oxygen dissolution) processed by the addition processing mechanism 15 is supplied to the second water supply pipe 23b by the pump device 23e, the supplied drinking raw water passes through the second water supply pipe 23b. After the circulation, in the first water supply pipe 23a, it is mixed with the oxygen gas supplied from the supply pipe 22b and flows through the first water supply pipe 23a while being in contact with each other, and is discharged together with the oxygen gas from the discharge port 23c. The

  The discharged drinking raw water is spouted in a fountain shape (radial centered on the discharge outlet 23c) toward the ceiling (see C1 in FIG. 6), but the discharged raw water has a first inner diameter of the discharge outlet 23c. Since it is formed to have a smaller diameter than the other part of the water supply pipe 23a, the pressure at the time of discharge is increased, the flow velocity is increased, and the water is sprayed vigorously in a wider range.

  And the drinking raw water spouted from the discharge outlet 23c collides with the ceiling surface or inner peripheral surface of the container body 21, and flows downward along the ceiling surface or inner peripheral surface (see arrow C2). Rebounds (not shown), flows downward (not shown) along the outer peripheral surface of the first water supply pipe 23a (not shown), and is then restricted by the first baffle plate 25, the first baffle plate It flows down into the inner space of the container body 21 from the 25 through holes 25a in a thin film shape and a waterfall shape (see arrows C3 and C4).

  Next, the raw drinking water that has been flown and flown down by the first baffle plate 25, or the raw drinking water that has bounced back and passed through each through hole 25a of the first baffle plate 25 is bounced by the second baffle plate 26, It flows down into the inner space of the container body 21 in the form of a thin film and a waterfall from the outer periphery of the second flow restricting plate 26 (see arrow C5).

  Thereafter, the drinking raw water that has been flown and flown down by the first baffle plate 25 or the second baffle plate 26, or the drinking raw water that has bounced back and passed through the through holes 25a of the first baffle plate 25 is the third baffle. The current is restricted by the plate 27 and flows down from the inner periphery of the third restrictor plate 27 into the inner space of the container body 21 in a thin film shape and a waterfall shape (see arrow C6), and is stored at the bottom of the container body 21. The

  And in the flow process in the 1st water supply pipe 23a and the container body 21 in such a drinking raw water, the oxygen which contacted the said drinking raw water dissolves.

  Thereby, the oxygen dissolved amount of the beverage raw water is increased from 6-8 mg / l before the treatment to 25-70 mg / l, and the oxygen concentration is high, and 24 hours have elapsed after the bottle is opened. However, drinking water is produced in which the oxygen-dissolved amount is maintained at 15 mg / l or more, more preferably 35 mg / l or more. This is because when water molecules and oxygen molecules come into contact with each other under a high-pressure oxygen atmosphere, some of these ions are ionized, and the water molecules and oxygen molecules are bonded by ionic bonds. Since it dissolves, it is considered that water having a high oxygen concentration and a low dissolved oxygen amount can be obtained by such ionic bonds.

  Thereafter, the drinking water (water after dissolving oxygen) stored in the container body 21 is supplied from the third water supply pipe 24 to the outside (the filling processing mechanism 16) by the oxygen gas pressure inside the container body 21.

  When the water level stored in the container body 21 exceeds the upper limit or lower limit, the water level detection unit 28 detects the water level. When the water level exceeds the upper limit, Is detected by the upper water level sensor 28b, and when the water level exceeds the lower limit, this is detected by the lower water level sensor 28c.

  In this way, when the water level sensor 28b, 28c detects that the water level has exceeded a certain limit, the opening degree of the supply valve 22c is adjusted, and the oxygen gas supply amount is adjusted, whereby the container body 21 is adjusted. The oxygen gas pressure inside is adjusted to adjust the supply amount to the outside, and the ratio of oxygen gas and drinking water in the container body 21 is maintained within a certain range.

  The first and second water supply pipes 23a and 23b and the third water supply pipe 24 have a small diameter in which the inner diameter D2 of the third water supply pipe 24 is the same as or smaller than the inner diameter D1 of the first and second water supply pipes 23a and 23b. Therefore, it is difficult for the drinking water in the container body 21 to be supplied to the outside (the drinking water is easily stored in the container body 21), and the oxygen gas pressure inside the container body 21 is reduced. , To be increased to a higher pressure.

  In addition, when oxygen is dissolved in the raw drinking water, the originally contained (dissolved) gas such as nitrogen is released from the raw drinking water according to Henry's law, so that the oxygen gas concentration in the container body 21 gradually increases. It decreases, and the amount of dissolved oxygen in the raw beverage water decreases. For this reason, in order to maintain the oxygen gas concentration in the container body 21 above a certain value, a gas such as nitrogen in the container body 21 is periodically discharged.

  Specifically, first, after the supply valve 22c is closed and the supply of oxygen gas into the container body 21 is stopped, the exhaust valve 29a of the exhaust pipe 29 is opened to allow the inside of the container body 21 to communicate with the outside. Thereby, the gas pressure inside the container body 21 is reduced to a pressure equivalent to the atmospheric pressure, and the drinking water stored in the container body 21 is not supplied to the outside from the third water supply pipe 24.

  Then, drinking raw water is further supplied into the container body 21 from the respective water supply pipes 23a and 23b, the water level in the container body 21 is raised, and the gas in the container body 21 is discharged from the exhaust pipe 29 to the outside of the container body 21. To do.

  When oxygen is dissolved in the drinking raw water by the oxygen dissolution treatment mechanism 20 as described above to generate drinking water, the filling treatment mechanism 16 then moves the third water supply pipe 24 of the oxygen dissolution treatment mechanism 20. The bottled water supplied from is filled into the bottle by a predetermined volume and then sealed.

  According to the drinking water producing apparatus 1 configured in this way, first, the raw drinking water is sequentially processed by the purification processing mechanism 11 in the first filter processing unit 12, the second filter processing unit 13, and the reverse osmosis processing unit 14. Next, vitamins, minerals, amino acids and the like are added to the raw drinking water purified by the purification treatment mechanism 11 by the addition treatment mechanism 15 and then added by the oxygen dissolution treatment mechanism 20 by the addition treatment mechanism 15. Drinking water in which oxygen is dissolved at a high concentration is generated from the drinking raw water to which minerals and amino acids are added, and then the drinking water generated by the oxygen dissolution processing mechanism 20 is filled in the bottle by the filling processing mechanism 16. After being sealed, bottled drinking water is produced.

  Thus, according to the drinking water of this example manufactured by this drinking water manufacturing apparatus 1, even if the amount of dissolved oxygen is high in the sealed state and the bottle is opened and touched with air, the bottle is opened. If it is before the predetermined time elapses, it is kept in a high oxygen concentration state, so that it is possible to drink as much as you want when you want to drink the drinking water. A sufficient amount of oxygen can be taken to obtain an effect. Thereby, handling of the said drinking water becomes easy and it can make a commercial value higher.

  Furthermore, since the raw drinking water purified by the purification processing mechanism 11 is almost free of impurities and is manufactured from the raw drinking water to which vitamins, minerals, amino acids and the like are added by the addition processing mechanism 15, the commercial value is increased. It can be further increased.

  Moreover, according to the said drinking water manufacturing apparatus 1, in addition to being able to manufacture such drinking water suitably, the following advantages are also provided.

  That is, the drinking raw water is ejected radially from the discharge port 23c to increase the contact area with the oxygen gas of the drinking raw water, and the drinking raw water is restricted by the respective restricting plates 25, 26, and 27, and Since the plates 25, 26, and 27 are flown down into the inner space of the container body 21 in the form of a thin film and a waterfall, and are brought into contact with oxygen gas from both sides of the water film, the interior of the container body 21 is further increased. Since the oxygen gas pressure is increased, a large amount of oxygen can be efficiently dissolved in the raw drinking water, and the drinking water that has a high oxygen concentration as described above and is difficult to reduce the amount of dissolved oxygen can be obtained. It can be generated efficiently.

  Moreover, although each baffle plate 25,26,27 is provided in the container body 21, since this does not restrict | limit the flow volume of drinking raw water, it can process a lot of drinking raw water efficiently. In addition, at the time of discharging a gas such as nitrogen, the water level in the container body 21 can be quickly raised to quickly discharge the gas.

  Moreover, the raw drinking water purified by the purification processing mechanism 11 is supplied to the container body 21, and foreign matters such as dust are between the through holes 25 a of the first flow restricting plate 25 and between the flow restricting plates 25, 26, 27. Therefore, it is not necessary to carry out the operation of removing the foreign matter, the maintenance cost can be reduced, and the container body 21 does not need to be configured to be disassembled for removing the foreign matter. The structure of 21 can be simplified, the manufacturing cost can be reduced, and the airtightness of the container body 21 can be increased.

  In addition, by providing a plurality of flow control plates 25, 26, 27 and increasing the number of times of control of the drinking raw water, the flow state of the drinking raw water is changed to increase the number of times of contact between the drinking raw water and oxygen gas. Therefore, oxygen can be dissolved more efficiently by this.

  Further, since the outer peripheral surface of the second baffle plate 26 and the inner peripheral surface of the third baffle plate 27 are formed in a zigzag shape, the peripheral lengths of the outer peripheral surface and the inner peripheral surface are increased, It is possible to increase the surface area of the raw drinking water flowing down in a thin film shape and a waterfall shape from the second flow control plate 26 and the third flow control plate 27 to increase the contact area with the oxygen gas. Can be dissolved efficiently.

  Moreover, since the upper part of the container body 21 is formed in the spherical curved surface which protrudes outward, the drinking raw water which was discharged from the discharge outlet 23c and collided with the ceiling surface of the container body 21 is applied to the said ceiling surface. Therefore, it can be made to flow toward the first flow restricting plate 25, flow is controlled by the first flow restricting plate 25, and can flow down into the internal space of the container body 21, and the amount of dissolved oxygen in the raw drinking water can be increased. .

  Moreover, since the upper end surface of the 1st water supply pipe 23a is arrange | positioned at the upper part side in the container body 21, and the drinking raw water is discharged from the discharge port 23c in the upper part side in the container body 21, from the discharge port 23c, After being discharged, the flow distance of the raw drinking water until it is stored in the bottom of the container body 21 can be increased, and the amount of dissolved oxygen in the raw drinking water can be further increased.

  In addition, since the inner diameter D2 of the third water supply pipe 24 is configured to be the same diameter as or smaller than the inner diameter D1 of the first and second water supply pipes 23a and 23b, the drinking water stored in the container body 21 is used. The oxygen gas pressure in the container body 21 can be made higher, and more oxygen can be efficiently dissolved in the raw drinking water flowing in the oxygen gas atmosphere.

  In addition, even if the oxygen gas pressure in the container body 21 rises for some reason, the water level in the container body 21 is not easily lowered, so that the water level falls below the inlet 24a of the third water supply pipe 24 and the container The inconvenience that oxygen gas in the body 21 leaks from the third water supply pipe 24 to the outside can be effectively prevented.

  In addition, since the raw drinking water and oxygen gas are mixed and brought into contact with each other and dissolved in the raw drinking water, the inside of the first water supply pipe 23a is made to flow toward the discharge port 23c. Oxygen can be dissolved in drinking raw water.

  Further, since the inner diameter of the discharge port 23c is smaller than the other part of the first water supply pipe 23a, the pressure at the time of discharge can be increased to increase the flow velocity, and the discharge port 23c is discharged. The raw drinking water is spread more radially and more efficiently and a large amount of oxygen is dissolved in the drinking raw water, or the oxygen mixed with the drinking raw water in the first water supply pipe 23a is more efficiently added to the drinking raw water. And it can be dissolved in large quantities.

  Moreover, since the 1st water supply pipe 23a is arrange | positioned in the coaxial position with the container body 21, the drinking raw water discharged from the discharge outlet 23c can be uniformly disperse | distributed, and the inside of the container body 21 can be flowed down, and the said process Can be performed efficiently.

  As mentioned above, although one Embodiment of this invention was described, the specific aspect which this invention can take is not limited to this at all.

  For example, in the above example, the oxygen dissolution treatment mechanism 20 is used to generate drinking water by dissolving oxygen in the raw drinking water. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and oxygen dissolution as shown in FIGS. A processing mechanism 40 can also be used. FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view showing a schematic configuration of an oxygen dissolution treatment mechanism according to another embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view in the direction of arrow DD in FIG. 9 is an explanatory diagram for explaining the flow of water in another embodiment of the present invention.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the oxygen dissolution treatment mechanism 40 is different from the oxygen dissolution treatment mechanism 20 in that the oxygen supply part 22, the water supply part 23, the third water supply pipe 24, and the flow control plates 25, 26, 27 are different. The same components as those of the oxygen dissolution treatment mechanism 20 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof is omitted.

  As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the oxygen dissolution processing mechanism 40 includes the container body 21, an oxygen supply unit 41 that supplies oxygen gas into the container body 21, and the pressure detector (not shown). The water supply unit 42 for supplying the raw drinking water into the container body 21, the water supply pipe (second water supply pipe) 43 for supplying the drinking water in the container body 21 to the outside, and the upper position in the container body 21. The first and second flow control plates 44 and 45 and the water level detection unit 28 are provided.

  The oxygen supply unit 41 includes the oxygen supply source 22a, a supply pipe 41a having one end connected to the oxygen supply source 22a and the other end connected to the upper portion of the container body 21, the supply valve 22c, and the interior of the container body 21. The exhaust valve 41b communicates with the outside and is normally controlled so that the supply valve 22c is opened at a predetermined opening and the exhaust valve 41b is closed.

  One end side of the water supply part 42 penetrates into the inside from the outer peripheral surface of the bottom of the container body 21, bends in an L shape at the center in the container body 21, and extends toward the upper side of the container body 21. The first water supply pipe 42a and the pump device 23e connected to the other end of the first water supply pipe 42a are provided.

  The first water supply pipe 42a is provided with a discharge port 42b whose one end (upper end) is arranged at a predetermined interval from the ceiling surface in the container body 21, and is open to the upper end surface. The container body 21 opens in the direction toward the ceiling, and the raw drinking water is discharged toward the ceiling. The first water supply pipe 42a is provided with a check valve (not shown), and the check valve (not shown) prevents the drinking raw water supplied into the container body 21 from flowing back. Yes.

  One end side of the second water supply pipe 43 penetrates into the inside from the bottom outer peripheral surface of the container body 21, is bent in an L shape within the container body 21, and extends toward the bottom surface side of the container body 21. The drinking water (water in which oxygen is dissolved) stored at the bottom of the container body 21 is supplied to the outside of the container body 21 by the oxygen gas pressure inside the container body 21.

  The second water supply pipe 43 has one end (lower end) arranged at a predetermined distance from the bottom surface of the container body 21 and opens to the lower end surface to supply drinking water to the outside. 43a. Further, the second water supply pipe 43 has an inner diameter D2 that is the same as or smaller than the inner diameter D1 of the first water supply pipe 42a.

  The first baffle plate 44 is composed of a flat plate and an annular member, and the outer peripheral surface thereof is fitted and fixed to the upper inner peripheral surface of the container body 21 so as to be substantially the same height as the upper end of the first water supply pipe 42a. The first raw flow control plate 44 controls the raw raw water flowing along the inner peripheral surface of the container body 21 and the raw drinking water that has bounced back after colliding with the ceiling surface of the container body 21. From the inner circumference of the container body 21 into the inner space of the container body 21 in a thin film shape and a waterfall shape.

  The second baffle plate 45 is also composed of a flat plate and an annular member, and its inner peripheral surface is fitted and fixed to the outer peripheral surface of the upper end side of the first water supply pipe 42a, so that it is more than the first baffle plate 44. The second baffle plate is disposed at the lower side to restrict the raw drinking water that flows along the outer peripheral surface of the first water supply pipe 42a and the raw drinking water that has bounced back after colliding with the ceiling surface of the container body 21. From the outer periphery of 45, it flows down into the inner space of the container body 21 in the form of a thin film and a waterfall.

  Thus, according to the oxygen dissolution processing mechanism 40, first, oxygen gas is supplied into the container body 21 by the oxygen supply unit 41, and the inside of the container body 21 is brought to an oxygen gas atmosphere at atmospheric pressure or higher. Next, when drinking raw water (water before dissolving oxygen) is supplied to the first water supply pipe 42a by the pump device 23e, the supplied drinking raw water circulates in the first water supply pipe 42a, and then the discharge port 42b. From inside the container body 21.

  The discharged drinking raw water is spouted in a fountain shape (radially around the discharge port 42b) toward the ceiling (see C11 in FIG. 9), and collides with the ceiling surface and inner peripheral surface of the container body 21, It flows downward along the ceiling surface and inner peripheral surface (see arrow C12), rebounds (not shown), and flows downward along the outer peripheral surface of the first water supply pipe 42a (see arrow C13). ).

  The raw drinking water that flows along the inner peripheral surface of the container body 21 is then flown by the first flow restricting plate 44, and from the inner peripheral portion of the first flow restricting plate 44 to the internal space of the container body 21. The drinking raw water flowing down along the outer peripheral surface of the first water supply pipe 42a is flown along the outer peripheral surface of the first water supply pipe 42a. From the outer periphery of the plate 45, it flows down into the inner space of the container body 21 in a thin film shape and a waterfall shape (see arrow C15).

  In addition, most of the boiled raw drinking water flows down in the internal space of the container body 21 without being restricted by the respective restricting plates 44 and 45.

  And the drinking raw water which flowed down in oxygen gas atmosphere is stored by the bottom part of the container body 21, and the stored drinking raw water (water after oxygen dissolution, ie, drinking water) is by the oxygen gas pressure inside the container body 21. , And supplied from the second water supply pipe 43 to the filling processing mechanism 16.

  As described above, the oxygen dissolving treatment mechanism 40 can also squirt raw beverage water radially from the discharge port 42b, and the beverage flows along the inner peripheral surface of the container body 21 and the outer peripheral surface of the first water supply pipe 42a. Since the raw water can flow down from each of the flow control plates 44 and 45 in a thin film shape and a waterfall shape, it is possible to produce drinking water in which oxygen is dissolved at a high concentration. Can be obtained.

  In the oxygen dissolution processing mechanism 40, the second flow restricting plate 45 may be configured as a second flow restricting plate 46 as shown in FIGS.

  As shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, the second baffle plate 46 is formed in a flat plate and a rectangular shape, and its outer peripheral surface is formed in a zigzag shape. And a fitting insertion hole 46b formed in the central portion, and the raw drinking water is allowed to flow down from the outer peripheral portion in a thin film shape and a waterfall shape, and the raw drinking water is dripped into a large number of water droplets from the through hole 46a.

  The through hole 46a is formed on a concentric circle centered on the fitting insertion hole 46b, and the through hole 46a formed on the inner side and the through hole 46a formed on the outer side are displaced in the circumferential direction. Each is drilled.

  The second flow restricting plate 46 has an inner peripheral surface of the fitting insertion hole 46b fitted and fixed to an outer peripheral surface on the upper end side of the first water supply pipe 42a, and four corners supported by the inner peripheral surface of the container body 21. The first baffle plate 44 is disposed at an upper position spaced apart from the first baffle plate 44, and a gap 46 c is formed between the outer peripheral surface and the inner peripheral surface of the container body 21.

  In the oxygen dissolution treatment mechanism including the second flow restricting plate 46 and the first flow restricting plate 44 configured as described above, the raw drinking water flows in the container body 21 as follows.

  That is, the raw drinking water sprayed radially (see arrow C21) collides with the ceiling surface and inner peripheral surface of the container body 21 and flows downward along the ceiling surface and inner peripheral surface. (See arrow C22), bounces (not shown), or flows downward along the outer peripheral surface of the first water supply pipe 42a (see arrow C23).

  Then, the drinking raw water flowing along the outer peripheral surface of the first water supply pipe 42 a and the drinking raw water that has bounced back are controlled by the second flow restricting plate 46, and the outer periphery of the second water restricting plate 46. It flows down in a thin film shape and a waterfall shape from the portion, or drops in a number of water droplets from the through hole 46a of the second flow restricting plate 46 (see arrow C24).

  On the other hand, the raw drinking water that flows along the inner peripheral surface of the container body 21, the raw drinking water that has bounced back and passed through the gap 46 c, and the raw drinking water that has been controlled by the second flow control plate 46 and flowed down are the first flow control plate 44. And flow down in a thin film shape and a waterfall shape from the inner peripheral portion of the first baffle plate 44 (see arrow C25).

  Thus, even if each flow control board 44 and 46 is comprised and arrange | positioned, the drinking raw water discharged from the discharge port 42b is made into a thin-film shape and waterfall shape from the inner peripheral part and outer peripheral part of each flow control board 44 and 46. While being able to flow down, it can be dropped in the form of a large number of water droplets from the through hole 46a, so that it is possible to produce drinking water in which oxygen is dissolved at a high concentration, and the same effects as described above can be obtained. it can.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 12, in the oxygen dissolution treatment mechanism 20, a cylindrical flow restricting member 31 having both end surfaces opened is disposed on the ceiling surface of the container body 21 so that the axial direction is along the vertical direction. Even then, the raw drinking water discharged from the discharge port 23c and flowing along the ceiling surface is restricted by the flow restricting member 31, and a thin film is formed in the inner space of the container body 21 from the lower end of the flow restricting member 31. Can flow down like a waterfall. Although not shown, this can be applied to the oxygen dissolution treatment mechanism 40 in the same manner.

  Further, in this case, if the inner peripheral surface of the flow restricting member 31 is formed in a zigzag shape in plan view, the peripheral length of the inner peripheral surface is lengthened and flows down from the flow restricting member 31 as described above. The surface area of the drinking raw water can be increased to increase the contact area with the oxygen gas, and more oxygen can be efficiently dissolved in the drinking raw water.

  Further, in the above example, the arrangement positions of the respective baffle plates 25, 26, 27, 44, 45, 46 are not particularly limited, but are preferably arranged at the upper positions in the container body 21. For example, the flow control plates 25, 45, and 46 are disposed at the upper ends of the water supply pipes 23a and 42a, and are downward from the upper ends within a range that is smaller than a value that is approximately three times the inner diameter of the discharge ports 23c and 42b. It is good to arrange in the lowered position, and it is good to arrange the baffle plates 27 and 44 above the discharge ports 23c and 42b.

  If it does in this way, after falling from each baffle 25, 26, 27, 44, 45, 46, the fall distance until it reaches the surface of the drinking water stored in container 21 can be lengthened. Therefore, more oxygen gas can be dissolved in the drinking raw water by bringing it into contact with the drinking raw water.

  In addition, as for the positional relationship between the respective baffle plates 25, 26, 27, 44, 45, 46, either may be arranged on the upper side or the lower side, and they can be provided at substantially the same height.

  Further, the shape of each of the flow restricting plates 25, 26, 27, 44, 45, 46, for example, the shape of the outer peripheral surface and the inner peripheral surface, the shape and formation position of the through holes 25a, 46a, etc. are also particularly limited. is not. The shape of the outer peripheral surface and the inner peripheral surface formed in a zigzag shape (saw blade shape) can be a smooth curved shape, a rectangular wave shape, the saw blade shape, the curved shape, and the like, instead of the zigzag shape. A combination of rectangular waves may be used.

  Moreover, the number of arrangement | positioning of the baffle plates 25, 26, 27, 44, 45, 46 is not limited at all, and a part or all of the baffle plates 25, 26, 27, 44, 45, 46 is concerned. It can be configured without being provided, or can be configured with multiple stages as compared with the above example.

  Moreover, it is preferable that the upper end surface of the water supply pipes 23a and 42a is provided in the upper side in the container body 21, and if it does in this way, drinking raw water can be discharged in the upper side in the container body 21. Therefore, it is possible to increase the amount of oxygen dissolved in the drinking water by increasing the flow distance of the raw drinking water until it is stored in the bottom of the container body 21 after being discharged from the discharge ports 23c and 42b.

  In the above example, one water supply pipe 23a, 23b, 42a is provided in the container body 21, but a plurality of water supply pipes 23a, 23b, 42a may be provided. Further, the inner diameter D1 of the water supply pipes 23a, 23b, 42a is formed constant except for the portion of the discharge port 23c, and the inner diameter D2 of the water supply pipes 24, 43 is formed constant. It may be formed.

  In the above example, the upper portion of the container body 21 is formed in a spherical curved surface projecting outward. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and although not illustrated, a spherical curved surface projecting inward is used. It may be formed. Even in this case, the raw drinking water that has collided with the ceiling surface of the container body 21 is caused to flow along the ceiling surface to the inner peripheral surface side of the container body 21, that is, the first flow control plates 25 and 44 side. Since it can be made to flow down and flow down by the 1st flow control members 25 and 44, the amount of oxygen dissolved in drinking water can be raised.

  In the above example, the addition processing mechanism 15 is configured to add vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and the like to the raw drinking water, but is not limited thereto, and other components other than these vitamins, minerals, and amino acids. May be added.

  Further, the addition processing mechanism 15 is configured to add vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and the like to the raw drinking water purified by the purification processing mechanism 11, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the purification is performed by the oxygen dissolution processing mechanism. After dissolving oxygen in the raw drinking water purified by the processing mechanism to produce drinking water, vitamins, minerals, amino acids, etc. are added to the drinking water by the addition processing mechanism, and then the addition is performed by the filling processing mechanism. It can also comprise so that the drinking water after a process may be sealed after filling in a bottle.

  Moreover, the structure of the oxygen dissolution treatment mechanisms 20 and 40 is an example, and is not limited to the above structure, and the flow of the raw drinking water described based on FIGS. 6, 9, and 11. (C1 to C6, C11 to C15, C21 to C25) is an example, and such a flow naturally changes depending on the discharge amount or discharge pressure of raw drinking water.

  In the above example, drinking water has been cited as an example of functional water, but is not limited thereto, and this functional water can also be used as a raw material for pharmaceuticals and cosmetics, such as eye drops, eyewash water, When used in skin lotions, oxygen can be absorbed from the surface of the eyes and skin to promote the metabolism of this portion.

  When this functional water is used as a raw material for pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, etc., for example, oxygen is dissolved in the raw water purified by the purification treatment mechanism 11 to a high concentration by the oxygen dissolution treatment mechanisms 20, 40. It is preferable that water is generated and the generated functional water is supplied as it is to a production line for pharmaceuticals and cosmetics, or is appropriately filled in a portable container.

  Furthermore, eye drops, eyewashes, lotions and the like may be produced by adding a drug to the functional water by the addition treatment mechanism 15.
