An electrolytic water spraying device including a control unit for controlling the spraying unit and the water spraying unit. The electrolyzed water generating unit is a water storage unit for storing water and an electrolysis promoting unit for charging an electrolysis promoting tablet into the water storage unit. A tablet charging unit and an electrolyzing unit that electrolyzes water in the water storage unit into which the electrolysis-accelerated tablet is charged to generate electrolyzed water are provided. The control unit includes a light receiving unit that receives light from the light emitting unit and outputs a signal according to the intensity of the received light, and the control unit passes the electrolysis accelerating tablet from a change in the signal output by the light receiving unit. It is provided with an electrolysis accelerating tablet passage determination unit for determination and a light emission amount adjusting unit for adjusting the light output of the light emitting unit, thereby achieving the intended purpose.

FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of the electrolyzed water spraying device D with the right side in the front view cut in the vertical direction, and is a view seen from the right side of the electrolyzed water spraying device D. FIG. 5 is a functional block diagram showing the functions of the electrolyzed water spraying device D in blocks.

図2〜5に示すように、本体ケース1内には、電解水生成部5と、給水部15と、散布部19と、風路8とを備えている。 As shown in FIGS. 2 to 5, the main body case 1 includes an electrolyzed water generating unit 5, a water supply unit 15, a spraying unit 19, and an air passage 8.

電解水生成部5は、貯水部14と、給水部15と、電解部17と、電解促進錠剤投入部18と、制御部41を備えている。 The electrolyzed water generation unit 5 includes a water storage unit 14, a water supply unit 15, an electrolysis unit 17, an electrolysis promotion tablet charging unit 18, and a control unit 41.

貯水部14は、天面を開口した箱形状しており、水を貯水できる構造となっている。貯水部14は、本体ケース1の下部に配置され、本体ケース1から水平方向にスライドして着脱可能となっており、開口4から取り出すことができる。貯水部14は、給水部15から供給される水を貯水する。 The water storage unit 14 has a box shape with an open top surface and has a structure capable of storing water. The water storage unit 14 is arranged in the lower part of the main body case 1, slides horizontally from the main body case 1, and can be attached to and detached from the main body case 1, and can be taken out from the opening 4. The water storage unit 14 stores water supplied from the water supply unit 15.

給水部15は、本体ケース1内部の正面視右側の側面に設置され、貯水部14から着脱可能な構造となっており、開口4から取り出すことができる。給水部15は、貯水部14の底面に設けられたタンク保持部14aに装着されている。給水部15は、水を貯水するタンク15aと、タンクの開口(図示せず)に設けられた蓋15bとを備えている。蓋15bの中央には、開閉部(図示せず)が設けられており、この開閉部が開くと、タンク15a内の水が、貯水部14へ供給される。 The water supply unit 15 is installed on the side surface on the right side of the front view inside the main body case 1, has a structure that can be attached to and detached from the water storage unit 14, and can be taken out from the opening 4. The water supply unit 15 is attached to a tank holding unit 14a provided on the bottom surface of the water storage unit 14. The water supply unit 15 includes a tank 15a for storing water and a lid 15b provided at an opening (not shown) of the tank. An opening / closing portion (not shown) is provided in the center of the lid 15b, and when the opening / closing portion is opened, the water in the tank 15a is supplied to the water storage portion 14.

具体的には、タンク15aの開口を下向きにして、給水部15を貯水部14のタンク保持部14aに取り付けると、タンク保持部14aによって開閉部が開く。つまり、水を入れられた給水部15がタンク保持部14aに取り付けられると、開閉部が開いて貯水部14に給水され、貯水部14内に水が溜まる。貯水部14内の水位が上昇して蓋15bのところまで到達すると給水部15の開口が水封されるので給水が停止し、給水部15の内部には水が残り、貯水部14内の水位が下がった場合に都度、タンク15a内部の水が貯水部14に給水される。即ち、貯水部14内の水位は一定に保たれる。 Specifically, when the water supply section 15 is attached to the tank holding section 14a of the water storage section 14 with the opening of the tank 15a facing downward, the opening / closing section is opened by the tank holding section 14a. That is, when the water supply unit 15 filled with water is attached to the tank holding unit 14a, the opening / closing unit is opened to supply water to the water storage unit 14, and water is collected in the water storage unit 14. When the water level in the water storage unit 14 rises and reaches the lid 15b, the opening of the water supply unit 15 is sealed, so that the water supply is stopped, water remains inside the water supply unit 15, and the water level in the water storage unit 14 The water inside the tank 15a is supplied to the water storage unit 14 each time the water level drops. That is, the water level in the water storage unit 14 is kept constant.

なお、電解水散布装置Dは、給水部15としてタンク15aを有していなくてもよい。この場合は、電解水散布装置Dに対して、水を供給するラインを水道水よりひき、貯水部14内の水位が下がった場合に、貯水部14内の水位が所定位置に上昇するまで水道水を供給する給水部15を設けるようにしてもよい。 The electrolyzed water spraying device D does not have to have the tank 15a as the water supply unit 15. In this case, the line for supplying water to the electrolytic water spraying device D is drawn from tap water, and when the water level in the water storage unit 14 drops, the water is supplied until the water level in the water storage unit 14 rises to a predetermined position. A water supply unit 15 for supplying water may be provided.

電解部17は、電極部材(図示せず)を備えており、この電極部材が貯水部14内の水に浸かるように設置される。電解部17は、この電極部材に通電することにより、貯水部14内の塩化物イオンを含む水を電気化学的に電気分解し、活性酸素種を含む電解水を生成させる。ここで、活性酸素種とは、通常の酸素よりも高い酸化活性を持つ酸素分子と、その関連物質のことである。例えば、活性酸素種にはスーパーオキシドアニオン、一重項酸素、ヒドロキシラジカル、或いは過酸化水素といった所謂狭義の活性酸素に、オゾン、次亜塩素酸(次亜ハロゲン酸)等といった所謂広義の活性酸素が含まれる。 The electrolytic unit 17 includes an electrode member (not shown), and the electrode member is installed so as to be immersed in water in the water storage unit 14. By energizing the electrode member, the electrolyzing unit 17 electrochemically electrolyzes the water containing chloride ions in the water storage unit 14 to generate electrolyzed water containing an active oxygen species. Here, the active oxygen species are oxygen molecules having higher oxidative activity than ordinary oxygen and related substances. For example, active oxygen species include so-called narrow-sense active oxygen such as superoxide anion, singlet oxygen, hydroxyl radical, or hydrogen peroxide, and so-called broad-sense active oxygen such as ozone and hypochlorous acid (hypochlorous acid). included.

電解部17は、電気部材への電気分解するための通電を行う通電時間と、その通電停止後の時間、つまり通電を行っていない時間である非通電時間とを一周期として、その一周期を複数回繰り返すことで、電解水を生成する。電極部材に対し、非通電時間を設けることで、電極部材の寿命を延ばすことができる。なお、非通電時間に対して通電時間を長くすれば、一周期当たりにおいてより多くの量の活性酸素種を含む電解水が生成される。また通電時間に対して非通電時間を長くすれば、一周期当たりの活性酸素種の生成が抑えられる。さらに、通電時間における電力量を大きくすれば、より多くの量の活性酸素種を含む電解水が生成される。 The electrolyzing unit 17 sets one cycle as one cycle, which is the energization time for energizing the electric member for electrolysis and the time after the energization is stopped, that is, the non-energization time which is the time when the electric member is not energized. By repeating it multiple times, electrolyzed water is generated. The life of the electrode member can be extended by providing the electrode member with a non-energized time. If the energization time is lengthened with respect to the non-energization time, electrolyzed water containing a larger amount of active oxygen species is generated per cycle. Further, if the non-energized time is lengthened with respect to the energized time, the generation of active oxygen species per cycle can be suppressed. Further, if the amount of electric power during the energization time is increased, electrolyzed water containing a larger amount of active oxygen species is generated.

散布部19は、送風部7と、フィルター部16とを備える。 The spraying unit 19 includes a blowing unit 7 and a filter unit 16.

送風部7は、本体ケース1の中央部に設けられ、ファンモータ部9と、ファンモータ部9により回転するファン部10と、それらを囲むスクロール形状のケーシング部11とを備えている。ファンモータ部9は、ケーシング部11に固定されている。 The blower portion 7 is provided in the central portion of the main body case 1, and includes a fan motor portion 9, a fan portion 10 rotated by the fan motor portion 9, and a scroll-shaped casing portion 11 surrounding them. The fan motor portion 9 is fixed to the casing portion 11.

ファン部10は、シロッコファンであり、ファンモータ部9から水平方向に延びた回転軸9aに固定され、ファンモータ部9は、ケーシング部11に固定されている。ファンモータ部9の回転軸9aは、本体ケース1の前面側から背面側に延びている。ケーシング部11は、ケーシング部11の本体ケース1における上面側に吐出口12を備え、ケーシング部11の本体ケース1における背面側に吸込口13を有している。送風部7の風量は、温度や湿度、ガスの臭いレベルに応じて、風量単位時間(例えば、5分)毎に決定される。決定された風量に基づき、ファンモータ部9の回転量が制御される。 The fan portion 10 is a sirocco fan, and is fixed to a rotating shaft 9a extending in the horizontal direction from the fan motor portion 9, and the fan motor portion 9 is fixed to the casing portion 11. The rotation shaft 9a of the fan motor unit 9 extends from the front side to the back side of the main body case 1. The casing portion 11 is provided with a discharge port 12 on the upper surface side of the main body case 1 of the casing portion 11, and has a suction port 13 on the back surface side of the main body case 1 of the casing portion 11. The air volume of the blower unit 7 is determined every unit time (for example, 5 minutes) of the air volume according to the temperature, humidity, and gas odor level. The amount of rotation of the fan motor unit 9 is controlled based on the determined air volume.

フィルター部16は、貯水部14に貯水された水と、送風部7によって本体ケース1内に吸込まれた室内空気とを接触させる部材である。円筒状に構成され、円周部分に空気が流通可能な孔を備えたフィルター16aを配置し、その一端が貯水部14の水に浸漬するように、フィルター16aの中心軸を回転中心として貯水部14に回転自在に内蔵されている。そして、駆動部(図示しない)により回転され、電解水と室内空気を連続的に接触させる構造となっている。 The filter unit 16 is a member that brings the water stored in the water storage unit 14 into contact with the indoor air sucked into the main body case 1 by the blower unit 7. A filter 16a which is formed in a cylindrical shape and has a hole through which air can flow is arranged in the circumferential portion, and the water storage unit is centered on the central axis of the filter 16a so that one end thereof is immersed in the water of the water storage unit 14. It is rotatably built into 14. The structure is such that the electrolyzed water and the indoor air are continuously brought into contact with each other by being rotated by a driving unit (not shown).

風路8は、吸気口2と吹出口6とを連通し、吸気口2から順に、フィルター部16、送風部7、吹出口6を備えている。ファンモータ部9によってファン部10が回転すると、吸気口2から風路8内に入った外部の空気は、順に、フィルター16a、送風部7、吹出口6を介して、電解水散布装置Dの外部へ吹き出される。これにより、貯水部14にて生成された電解水が外部へ散布される。なお、電解水散布装置Dは、必ずしも電解水そのものを撒くものでなくてもよく、電解水由来(揮発を含む)の活性酸素種を散布するものであっても電解水散布に含まれる。 The air passage 8 communicates the intake port 2 and the air outlet 6, and includes a filter unit 16, a blower unit 7, and an air outlet 6 in this order from the intake port 2. When the fan portion 10 is rotated by the fan motor portion 9, the external air that has entered the air passage 8 from the intake port 2 is sequentially passed through the filter 16a, the blower portion 7, and the air outlet 6 of the electrolyzed water spraying device D. It is blown out to the outside. As a result, the electrolyzed water generated in the water storage unit 14 is sprayed to the outside. The electrolyzed water spraying device D does not necessarily have to sprinkle the electrolyzed water itself, and even if it sprays active oxygen species derived from the electrolyzed water (including volatilization), it is included in the electrolyzed water spraying.

制御部41は、電解部17による水の電気分解を制御し、また、電解促進錠剤投入部18による電解促進錠剤の投入を制御するものである。特に、制御部41は、電解促進錠剤20(図6)を投入する所定の投入期間が経過したかを判断し、所定の投入期間毎に電解促進錠剤投入部18に電解促進錠剤の投入を指示する。制御部41は、例えば、表示部38の裏側に設けられている。この制御部41の詳細については、図8を参照して後述する。 The control unit 41 controls the electrolysis of water by the electrolysis unit 17 and controls the injection of the electrolysis-accelerated tablet by the electrolysis-accelerated tablet charging unit 18. In particular, the control unit 41 determines whether a predetermined charging period for charging the electrolysis-promoting tablet 20 (FIG. 6) has elapsed, and instructs the electrolysis-promoting tablet charging unit 18 to charge the electrolysis-promoting tablet at each predetermined charging period. do. The control unit 41 is provided on the back side of the display unit 38, for example. Details of the control unit 41 will be described later with reference to FIG.

The bearing hole 25 is a hole into which the rotating shaft 29 of the rotating body 23, which will be described later, enters, and the hole 26 is a hole through which the electrolysis promoting tablet 20 passes. The hole 26 is provided with a guide cylinder 27 extending downward from the opening edge of the hole 26.

発光部39は、電解促進錠剤20が通過する孔26及びガイド筒27の側方であって、電解促進錠剤20の通過方向に対して垂直に設けられる。発光部39は、例えば赤外線LEDなどで構成され、電解促進錠剤20の通過位置に向けて発光するように配置される。 The light emitting unit 39 is provided on the side of the hole 26 through which the electrolysis promoting tablet 20 passes and the guide cylinder 27, and is provided perpendicular to the passing direction of the electrolysis promoting tablet 20. The light emitting unit 39 is composed of, for example, an infrared LED, and is arranged so as to emit light toward the passing position of the electrolysis promoting tablet 20.

受光部40は、電解促進錠剤20が通過する孔26及びガイド筒27の側方であって、孔26を挟んで発光部39に対向する位置に配置される。受光部40は、受光面を電解促進錠剤20の通過位置に向けて配置され、発光部39の光を受光することが可能である。受光部40は、発光部39からの光を受光すると、当該受光した光の強度に応じて信号を出力する。受光部40の出力信号の一体様として、例えば電解促進錠剤20の通過によって光が遮られ、すなわち受光した光の強度が低下すると、信号の強度が低下する。 The light receiving portion 40 is arranged on the side of the hole 26 through which the electrolysis promoting tablet 20 passes and the guide cylinder 27, and at a position facing the light emitting portion 39 with the hole 26 interposed therebetween. The light receiving unit 40 is arranged so that the light receiving surface faces the passing position of the electrolysis promoting tablet 20, and can receive the light of the light emitting unit 39. When the light receiving unit 40 receives the light from the light emitting unit 39, the light receiving unit 40 outputs a signal according to the intensity of the received light. As an integral part of the output signal of the light receiving unit 40, for example, when the light is blocked by the passage of the electrolysis promoting tablet 20, that is, when the intensity of the received light decreases, the intensity of the signal decreases.

回転体23は、中央部が上方に凸形状の円板である凸面部28と、凸面部28の中央下面から下方に延びた円筒形状の回転軸29とを有している。凸面部28と回転軸29とは、樹脂材料によって一体に形成されている。凸面部28の大きさは、ケース21より一回り小さい大きさであり、凸面部28の外周とケース21の内面との間には僅かな隙間を有している。凸面部28の周縁部には、切欠き30を有している。この切欠き30に電解促進錠剤20が入りこみ、孔26と重なったときに電解促進錠剤20が貯水部14へ投入される。この電解促進錠剤20が貯水部14内の水に溶け込むことにより、貯水部14の水が塩化物イオンを含む水となる。なお、電解促進錠剤の一例は、塩化ナトリウムである。
電解促進錠剤 図8は、本発明の実施の形態1の電解促進錠剤投入部18の機能ブロック図である。
The rotating body 23 has a convex surface portion 28 whose central portion is a disk whose central portion is convex upward, and a cylindrical rotating shaft 29 extending downward from the central lower surface of the convex surface portion 28. The convex surface portion 28 and the rotating shaft 29 are integrally formed of a resin material. The size of the convex surface portion 28 is one size smaller than that of the case 21, and there is a slight gap between the outer circumference of the convex surface portion 28 and the inner surface of the case 21. A notch 30 is provided at the peripheral edge of the convex surface portion 28. When the electrolysis-promoting tablet 20 enters the notch 30 and overlaps with the hole 26, the electrolysis-promoting tablet 20 is put into the water storage unit 14. When the electrolysis promoting tablet 20 dissolves in the water in the water storage unit 14, the water in the water storage unit 14 becomes water containing chloride ions. An example of an electrolysis-accelerated tablet is sodium chloride.
Electrolysis-promoted tablet FIG. 8 is a functional block diagram of the electrolysis-promoted tablet charging unit 18 according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

制御部41は、電解促進錠剤通過判定部42と発光量調整部43と比較部A44とを備えている。 The control unit 41 includes an electrolysis promoting tablet passage determination unit 42, a light emission amount adjusting unit 43, and a comparison unit A44.

電解促進錠剤通過判定部42は、電解促進錠剤20が通過したときの受光部40の信号に基づいて当該電解促進錠剤20が孔26を通過した事を判定する。ここで信号に基づいてとは、例えば信号の減衰を意味し、つまり光の強度の低下を意味する。 The electrolysis accelerating tablet passage determination unit 42 determines that the electrolysis accelerating tablet 20 has passed through the hole 26 based on the signal of the light receiving unit 40 when the electrolysis accelerating tablet 20 has passed. Here, based on a signal means, for example, attenuation of a signal, that is, a decrease in light intensity.

発光量調整部43は、発光部39の発光量を調整する。つまり発光量調整部43は、電解促進錠剤20の未通過時に受光部40からの信号が閾値Aを超える発光量で発光部39を発光させる。発光量調整の例としては、発光部39の発光量が電流と比例関係であることを用いてPWMを用いて出力をリニアに変動させる方法などがある。 The light emitting amount adjusting unit 43 adjusts the light emitting amount of the light emitting unit 39. That is, the light emitting amount adjusting unit 43 causes the light emitting unit 39 to emit light with a light emitting amount in which the signal from the light receiving unit 40 exceeds the threshold value A when the electrolysis promoting tablet 20 has not passed. As an example of adjusting the amount of light emitted, there is a method of linearly changing the output by using PWM by utilizing the fact that the amount of light emitted by the light emitting unit 39 is proportional to the current.

比較部A44は、受光部40が出力した信号を閾値Aと比較し、比較結果を電解促進錠剤通過判定部42に送信する。 The comparison unit A44 compares the signal output by the light receiving unit 40 with the threshold value A, and transmits the comparison result to the electrolysis promotion tablet passage determination unit 42.

以上の構成において、電解促進錠剤20の通過判定は、具体的には以下のように行われる。 In the above configuration, the passage determination of the electrolysis promoting tablet 20 is specifically performed as follows.

まず、電解促進錠剤20未通過時に受光部40からの信号が閾値Aを超える発光量で発光部39を発光させる。この状態で電解促進錠剤20が通過すると、電解促進錠剤20の通過時に受光部40の受光量が減り、閾値Aを下回る。閾値Aを下回った旨は、比較部A44を介して電解促進錠剤通過判定部42に通知され、電解促進錠剤通過判定部42は、この減衰を検知して通過と判定する。尚、このときの閾値Aは装置や回路構成により変動するため個別に設定する必要がある。 First, when the electrolysis promoting tablet 20 has not passed, the light emitting unit 39 is made to emit light with a light emitting amount in which the signal from the light receiving unit 40 exceeds the threshold value A. When the electrolysis accelerating tablet 20 passes in this state, the amount of light received by the light receiving portion 40 decreases when the electrolysis accelerating tablet 20 passes, and falls below the threshold value A. The fact that the threshold value A has been exceeded is notified to the electrolysis-accelerated tablet passage determination unit 42 via the comparison unit A44, and the electrolysis-accelerated tablet passage determination unit 42 detects this attenuation and determines that the tablet has passed. Since the threshold value A at this time varies depending on the device and the circuit configuration, it is necessary to set it individually.

次に、発光量調整部43が閾値Aを超える発光量を決定するための動作フローチャートを図9に示す。なお、図9中のSはステップを意味する。 Next, FIG. 9 shows an operation flowchart for the light emitting amount adjusting unit 43 to determine the light emitting amount exceeding the threshold value A. In addition, S in FIG. 9 means a step.

例えば時間の経過によって、電解促進錠剤の投入のタイミングに入ったとき(S0)、発光部39の発光量を0にする(S1)。なお、投入のタイミングは例えば制御部41から別途その旨の命令を受信するが、詳細は省略する。 For example, when the timing of adding the electrolysis-promoting tablet is reached (S0) due to the passage of time, the amount of light emitted from the light emitting unit 39 is set to 0 (S1). As for the timing of turning on, for example, a command to that effect is separately received from the control unit 41, but the details will be omitted.

ここで、発光量が0のときには閾値Aを超えることはありえないため、受光部40からの信号が閾値Aを超えた場合は、受光部40が短絡などの異常状態にあると判断でき、表示部38異常状態であることを使用者に伝えるために表示部38にエラー表示を行い運転停止する(S2YES)。 Here, since the threshold value A cannot be exceeded when the amount of light emitted is 0, when the signal from the light receiving unit 40 exceeds the threshold value A, it can be determined that the light receiving unit 40 is in an abnormal state such as a short circuit, and the display unit 38 An error is displayed on the display unit 38 and the operation is stopped in order to inform the user that the abnormal state is present (S2YES).

発光量が0のときに閾値Aを超えない場合(S2NO)は、正常であるため発光量Kを上昇させる(S3)。尚、発光量Kは、制御可能な発光量を細分化した定数であり、回路構成により変動するため定数としている。発光量をK上昇させたあと受光部40からの信号が閾値Aを超えたかどうかを、比較部A44を介して比較結果を取得することで、判断する(S4)。 When the luminescence amount is 0 and the threshold value A is not exceeded (S2NO), the luminescence amount K is increased because it is normal (S3). The light emission amount K is a constant obtained by subdividing the controllable light emission amount, and is a constant because it varies depending on the circuit configuration. After increasing the amount of light emitted by K, it is determined whether or not the signal from the light receiving unit 40 exceeds the threshold value A by acquiring the comparison result via the comparison unit A44 (S4).

受光部40からの信号が閾値Aを超えた場合(S4YES)は、閾値Aを超えた発光量に決定し(S5)、電解促進錠剤投入運転へ移行する(S6)。なお、「閾値Aを超えた」としているが、閾値Aの設定によって、閾値Aと同一の発光量に決定しても同様である。 When the signal from the light receiving unit 40 exceeds the threshold value A (S4YES), the amount of light emitted exceeds the threshold value A (S5), and the process proceeds to the electrolysis-accelerated tablet charging operation (S6). Although it is stated that "the threshold value A has been exceeded", the same applies even if the amount of light emitted is determined to be the same as the threshold value A by setting the threshold value A.

閾値Aを超えなかった場合(S4NO)は、現在の発光量が制御可能な発光上限値C以上であるかどうかを判定する(S7)。ここで発光上限値とは、最大の発光量である。 When the threshold value A is not exceeded (S4NO), it is determined whether or not the current emission amount is equal to or more than the controllable emission upper limit value C (S7). Here, the light emission upper limit value is the maximum light emission amount.

発光量が上限C以上の場合(S7YES)は、受光部40の通信線の断線や受光部40の寿命が考えられるため、表示部38異常状態であることを使用者に伝えるために表示部38にエラー表示を行い運転停止する。 When the amount of light emitted is the upper limit C or more (S7YES), the communication line of the light receiving unit 40 may be broken or the life of the light receiving unit 40 may be long. Therefore, the display unit 38 is in order to inform the user that the display unit 38 is in an abnormal state. An error is displayed and the operation is stopped.

発光量が上限C以下であった場合(S7NO)は、現在の発光量に対し再度発光量Kを加算するS3のステップにもどり以降この動作を繰り返す。つまり、発光量調整部43は、発光部39の光の出力を段階的に上昇させる。 When the light emission amount is equal to or less than the upper limit C (S7NO), this operation is repeated after returning to the step of S3 in which the light emission amount K is added again to the current light emission amount. That is, the light emitting amount adjusting unit 43 gradually increases the light output of the light emitting unit 39.

以上の通り、第1実施形態に係る電解水散布装置Dでは、電解促進錠剤20の投入運転前に毎回、発光部39の発光量を0からスタートしKずつ出力を上げていき、受光部40が閾値Aを超える発光量レベルを事前調整する。したがって、第1実施形態に係る電解水散布装置Dは、電解促進錠剤20の投入運転前に毎回、発光部39の発光量調整をおこなうため、発光部39および受光部40の基本性能ばらつきや、部品の経年劣化および周辺環境変化による部品特性変化でも電解促進錠剤20の通過を検知可能となる。さらには最適な発光量で駆動するため、発光部39を単純にON/OFFさせる構成と比べると発光部39での無駄な電力消費を抑えられるため、発光部39の素子寿命を延命させる効果も見込める。これにより、第1実施形態に係る電解水散布装置Dは、確実に電解促進錠剤20の投入を行えるため、電解促進錠剤の自動投入によりユーザの利便性を向上させつつ、電解促進錠剤の入れ忘れを防止でき、除菌および脱臭の性能の安定を実現できる。 As described above, in the electrolyzed water spraying device D according to the first embodiment, the amount of light emitted from the light emitting unit 39 is started from 0 and the output is increased by K each time before the operation of charging the electrolysis promoting tablet 20, and the light receiving unit 40 Pre-adjusts the emission level at which exceeds the threshold A. Therefore, the electrolyzed water spraying device D according to the first embodiment adjusts the amount of light emitted from the light emitting unit 39 each time before the operation of charging the electrolysis promoting tablet 20, so that the basic performance variations of the light emitting unit 39 and the light receiving unit 40 may vary. The passage of the electrolysis-promoting tablet 20 can be detected even when the characteristics of the parts change due to aged deterioration of the parts and changes in the surrounding environment. Furthermore, since it is driven with the optimum amount of light emitted, wasteful power consumption in the light emitting unit 39 can be suppressed as compared with a configuration in which the light emitting unit 39 is simply turned on / off, which also has the effect of extending the life of the element of the light emitting unit 39. You can expect it. As a result, the electrolyzed water spraying device D according to the first embodiment can reliably inject the electrolysis-promoting tablet 20, so that the user's convenience is improved by automatically injecting the electrolysis-accelerated tablet, and the electrolysis-accelerated tablet is forgotten to be inserted. It can be prevented, and stable sterilization and deodorization performance can be realized.

(実施の形態2)
実施の形態1において、発光部39や受光部40の部品性能ばらつきにより基本性能が低く、あるいは経年劣化などにより基本性能が低下して、発光部39の発光量が閾値Aを上回るほどに出力できない場合がある。これに対して、発光部39の発光量をさらに上昇させる回路構成にした場合、回路構成が大掛かりになることと、消費電力上昇により発光部39の寿命が大幅に低下してしまうなどの課題がある。これを解決するための構成を本実施の形態にて示す。
(Embodiment 2)
In the first embodiment, the basic performance is low due to the variation in the component performance of the light emitting unit 39 and the light receiving unit 40, or the basic performance is lowered due to aged deterioration or the like, and the light emitting amount of the light emitting unit 39 cannot be output to the extent that it exceeds the threshold value A. In some cases. On the other hand, if the circuit configuration is such that the amount of light emitted from the light emitting unit 39 is further increased, there are problems that the circuit configuration becomes large and the life of the light emitting unit 39 is significantly shortened due to the increase in power consumption. be. A configuration for solving this problem is shown in the present embodiment.

本実施の形態に係る電解促進錠剤投入部18の機能ブロック図を図10に示す。本実施の形態では、実施の形態1の構成に加えて、制御部41は、高感度受光部45と、比較部B46と、記憶部47(高感度発光量記憶部に該当)と、切替部50とを備える。 FIG. 10 shows a functional block diagram of the electrolysis-promoting tablet charging unit 18 according to the present embodiment. In the present embodiment, in addition to the configuration of the first embodiment, the control unit 41 includes a high-sensitivity light receiving unit 45, a comparison unit B46, a storage unit 47 (corresponding to a high-sensitivity light emission amount storage unit), and a switching unit. With 50.

高感度受光部45は、受光部40とは別に光の受光感度を高感度に設定した受光部である。高感度受光部45は、受光部40近傍の発光部39の光を受光可能な位置に備えられる。高感度受光部45は、発光部39からの光を受光すると、当該受光した光の強度に応じて信号を出力する。高感度受光部45は、受光部40よりも感度設定を高く設定したもので、例えばフォトトランジスタを使用した場合は、コレクタにプルアップしている抵抗定数を上げることで、少ない光源でも受光しやすくすることができる。 The high-sensitivity light-receiving unit 45 is a light-receiving unit in which the light-receiving sensitivity of light is set to high sensitivity separately from the light-receiving unit 40. The high-sensitivity light receiving unit 45 is provided at a position capable of receiving the light of the light emitting unit 39 in the vicinity of the light receiving unit 40. When the high-sensitivity light receiving unit 45 receives the light from the light emitting unit 39, the high-sensitivity light receiving unit 45 outputs a signal according to the intensity of the received light. The high-sensitivity light receiving unit 45 has a higher sensitivity setting than the light receiving unit 40. For example, when a phototransistor is used, it is easy to receive light even with a small number of light sources by increasing the resistance constant pulled up to the collector. can do.

比較部B46は、高感度受光部45からの信号を閾値Bと比較し、比較結果を電解促進錠剤通過判定部42に送信する。 The comparison unit B46 compares the signal from the high-sensitivity light receiving unit 45 with the threshold value B, and transmits the comparison result to the electrolysis promotion tablet passage determination unit 42.

記憶部47は、高感度受光部45の出力が閾値Bを超えたときの発光量を記憶する。 The storage unit 47 stores the amount of light emitted when the output of the high-sensitivity light receiving unit 45 exceeds the threshold value B.

切替部50は、発光部39の発光量を最大にした場合であっても受光部40が出力する信号が光を受信した旨を示さない場合には、高感度受光部45が出力する信号の利用に切り替える。 If the signal output by the light receiving unit 40 does not indicate that light has been received even when the light emitting amount of the light emitting unit 39 is maximized, the switching unit 50 of the signal output by the high sensitivity light receiving unit 45. Switch to use.

次に受光部40及び高感度受光部45の利用を切り替える動作フローチャートを図11に示す。 Next, FIG. 11 shows an operation flowchart for switching the use of the light receiving unit 40 and the high sensitivity light receiving unit 45.

電解促進錠剤の投入のタイミングに入ったとき(S0)、発光部39の発光量を0にする(S1)。 When the timing of adding the electrolysis-accelerated tablet is reached (S0), the amount of light emitted from the light emitting unit 39 is set to 0 (S1).

ここで、発光量が0のときには受光部40が閾値A、高感度受光部45が閾値Bを超えることはありえないため、受光部40もしくは高感度受光部のどちらかが閾値を超えた場合は、短絡などの異常状態にあると判断でき、表示部38異常状態であることを使用者に伝えるために表示部38にエラー表示を行い運転停止する(S2YES)。 Here, when the amount of light emitted is 0, the light receiving unit 40 cannot exceed the threshold value A and the high-sensitivity light receiving unit 45 cannot exceed the threshold value B. Therefore, when either the light receiving unit 40 or the high-sensitivity light receiving unit exceeds the threshold value, It can be determined that an abnormal state such as a short circuit is present, and an error is displayed on the display unit 38 to inform the user that the display unit 38 is in an abnormal state, and the operation is stopped (S2YES).

どちらも閾値を超えなかった場合(S2NO)は、発光量をK増加させて(S3)、受光部40の受信を確認する(S4)。 When neither of them exceeds the threshold value (S2NO), the amount of light emitted is increased by K (S3), and reception by the light receiving unit 40 is confirmed (S4).

ここで受光部40からの信号が閾値Aを超えた場合(S4YES)は、受光部40の閾値Aを超えた発光量に決定し(S5)、電解促進錠剤投入運転へ移行する(S6)。 Here, when the signal from the light receiving unit 40 exceeds the threshold value A (S4YES), the amount of light emitted exceeds the threshold value A of the light receiving unit 40 (S5), and the process proceeds to the electrolysis-accelerated tablet charging operation (S6).

受光部40が閾値Aを超えなかった場合(S4NO)は、発光量が上限C以上かを判定する(S7)。上限以下であった場合(S7NO)、高感度受光部45からの信号が現在の発光量で閾値Bを超えたかどうかを判定する(S8)。閾値Bを超えた場合(S8YES)は、記憶部47にその発光量を記憶し、S3のステップにもどり、発光量をK増加させ一連のフローを繰り返す。 When the light receiving unit 40 does not exceed the threshold value A (S4NO), it is determined whether the amount of light emitted is the upper limit C or more (S7). When it is equal to or less than the upper limit (S7NO), it is determined whether or not the signal from the high-sensitivity light receiving unit 45 exceeds the threshold value B at the current amount of light emitted (S8). When the threshold value B is exceeded (S8YES), the light emission amount is stored in the storage unit 47, the process returns to the step of S3, the light emission amount is increased by K, and a series of flows is repeated.

高感度受光部45からの信号が閾値Bを超えなかった場合(S8NO)は、そのままS3のステップまでもどる。次にS7において発光量が上限であった場合(S7YES)、発光量が上限に到るまでに高感度受光部45からの信号が閾値Bを超える発光量があったかを記憶部47と通信し確認する(S10)。ここで高感度受光部45も閾値Bを超えなかった場合(S10NO)は、受光部40および高感度受光部45の断線や寿命が考えられるため表示部38異常状態であることを使用者に伝えるために表示部38にエラー表示を行い運転停止する。高感度受光部45が閾値Bを超えた発光量があった場合(S10YES)は、閾値Bを超えた最小の発光量で駆動することを決定する。この際、切替部50は、電解促進錠剤通過判定部42に対して、受光部40、すなわち比較部A44の比較結果ではなく、高感度受光部45、すなわち比較部B46の比較結果を利用する旨を電解促進錠剤通過判定部42に対して通知する。この場合、電解促進錠剤通過判定部42は、比較部B46の比較結果に基づいて、電解促進錠剤通過判定を行う。 When the signal from the high-sensitivity light receiving unit 45 does not exceed the threshold value B (S8NO), the process returns to the step of S3 as it is. Next, when the light emission amount is the upper limit in S7 (S7YES), it is confirmed by communicating with the storage unit 47 whether the signal from the high-sensitivity light receiving unit 45 has a light emission amount exceeding the threshold value B before the light emission amount reaches the upper limit. (S10). Here, when the high-sensitivity light-receiving unit 45 also does not exceed the threshold value B (S10NO), the user is informed that the display unit 38 is in an abnormal state because the light-receiving unit 40 and the high-sensitivity light-receiving unit 45 may be disconnected or have a limited life. Therefore, an error is displayed on the display unit 38 and the operation is stopped. When the high-sensitivity light receiving unit 45 has a light emission amount exceeding the threshold value B (S10YES), it is determined to drive with the minimum light emission amount exceeding the threshold value B. At this time, the switching unit 50 uses the high-sensitivity light-receiving unit 45, that is, the comparison result of the comparison unit B46, instead of the comparison result of the light-receiving unit 40, that is, the comparison unit A44, with respect to the electrolysis-accelerated tablet passage determination unit 42. Is notified to the electrolysis promoting tablet passage determination unit 42. In this case, the electrolysis-accelerated tablet passage determination unit 42 determines the electrolysis-accelerated tablet passage based on the comparison result of the comparison unit B46.

上記構成にすることによる効果を図12に示す。 The effect of the above configuration is shown in FIG.

図12の受光部通過判定可能範囲に示すように、発光部39及び受光部40、つまり各部品の性能が図12(a)に示すような一定以下の領域Eでは、受光部40の信号が低すぎるため電解促進錠剤の通過判定をすることができない。 As shown in the light receiving unit passage determination range of FIG. 12, in the light emitting unit 39 and the light receiving unit 40, that is, in the region E where the performance of each component is below a certain level as shown in FIG. 12 (a), the signal of the light receiving unit 40 is transmitted. Since it is too low, it is not possible to determine the passage of the electrolysis-accelerated tablet.

そこで、高感度受光部45を使用する。高感度受光部45は図12(b)に示すように受光部40で判定できない領域Eでも電解促進錠剤の通過判定は可能である。しかし、高感度受光部45のみを備えた場合には、各部品の基本性能がある一定以上の領域Fでは光が強すぎるため電解促進錠剤の通過時でも、光の減衰が低いため常に閾値Bを超えてしまい電解促進錠剤通過を検知できない。 Therefore, the high-sensitivity light receiving unit 45 is used. As shown in FIG. 12B, the high-sensitivity light receiving unit 45 can determine the passage of the electrolysis-accelerated tablet even in the region E which cannot be determined by the light receiving unit 40. However, when only the high-sensitivity light receiving unit 45 is provided, the light is too strong in the region F where the basic performance of each component is above a certain level, and the light attenuation is low even when the electrolysis-accelerated tablet is passed, so that the threshold value B is always used. It exceeds the limit and the passage of the electrolysis-promoting tablet cannot be detected.

これに対して、本発明に係る電解水散布装置Dでは、感度設定の異なる受光部を切り替えることができるため、図12(c)に示すように、受光部40と高感度受光部45の通過判定可能な領域を両方とも使用可能になる。このため、部品の性能ばらつきや経年劣化などで基本性能が低いときでも電解促進錠剤20の通過を判定することができる。さらに発光部39の発光量を不要に上昇させる必要がなくなることで発光部39の高寿命化を図り、受光部40が例えば経年劣化した際でもより高感度の高感度受光部45が検知できなくなるまで使用代替できるため、装置としての寿命を延ばすことができる。 On the other hand, in the electrolyzed water spraying device D according to the present invention, since the light receiving unit having different sensitivity settings can be switched, as shown in FIG. 12 (c), the light receiving unit 40 and the high sensitivity light receiving unit 45 pass through. Both determinable areas are available. Therefore, it is possible to determine the passage of the electrolysis accelerating tablet 20 even when the basic performance is low due to variations in the performance of parts or deterioration over time. Further, it is not necessary to unnecessarily increase the amount of light emitted from the light emitting unit 39, so that the life of the light emitting unit 39 can be extended, and even when the light receiving unit 40 deteriorates over time, the higher sensitive light receiving unit 45 cannot be detected. Since it can be used and replaced, the life of the device can be extended.

以上、実施形態に基づき本発明を説明したが、本発明は上記実施形態に何ら限定されるものではなく、本発明の趣旨を逸脱しない範囲内で種々の改良変形が可能であることは容易に推察できるものである。例えば、より高感度に設定した受光部をもうひとつ設けることで3つ以上の受光部で、より広い受光可能範囲をカバーする構成にしてもよい。 Although the present invention has been described above based on the embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and it is easy to make various improvements and modifications within a range that does not deviate from the gist of the present invention. It can be inferred. For example, by providing another light receiving unit set to higher sensitivity, three or more light receiving units may be configured to cover a wider light receiving range.

本発明に係る電解水散布装置は、空気中の細菌、真菌、ウイルス、臭い等の除去(不活性化を含む)を行う電解水散布装置として有用である。 The electrolyzed water spraying device according to the present invention is useful as an electrolyzed water spraying device for removing (including inactivating) bacteria, fungi, viruses, odors, etc. in the air.
