FIG.1, FIG.2, FIG.3 is a block diagram of the electrolyzed water generating apparatus in 1st Embodiment. The electrolyzed water generating apparatus is an apparatus for electrolyzing water in an electrolytic cell to generate electrolyzed water, and the pre-filter 20 and the membrane filtration cartridge 30 (hereinafter collectively referred to as "filtering portion") are electrolyzed cells. It is equipped on the 40 inflow side. The
まず、図1を用いて、(1)原水導入口10とプレフィルタ20の間に切替弁71を設置した場合について説明する。この場合、使用モードが手洗いモードのときは、図1(a)に示すように、切替弁71をバイパス水路61側に切り替える。これにより、原水導入口10から導入した原水を吐水口50から得ることができる。図中に縞模様で示す水路は通水がないことを意味している(以下、同様)。一方、使用モードが電解水モードのときは、図1(b)に示すように、切替弁71をプレフィルタ20側に切り替える。これにより、原水導入口10から導入した原水をプレフィルタ20と膜濾過カートリッジ30で濾過し、電解槽40で電気分解して吐水口50から電解水を得ることができる。
First, the case where the switching valve 71 is installed between the raw water inlet 10 and the prefilter 20 will be described with reference to FIG. In this case, when the use mode is the hand wash mode, as shown in FIG. 1A, the switching valve 71 is switched to the bypass water channel 61 side. Thereby, the raw water introduced from the raw water inlet 10 can be obtained from the water outlet 50. The waterways indicated by stripes in the figure mean that there is no water flow (the same applies hereinafter). On the other hand, when the use mode is the electrolyzed water mode, as shown in FIG. 1B, the switching valve 71 is switched to the pre-filter 20 side. As a result, the raw water introduced from the raw water inlet 10 can be filtered by the prefilter 20 and the membrane filtration cartridge 30 and electrolyzed in the electrolytic tank 40 to obtain electrolytic water from the water outlet 50.
次に、図2を用いて、(2)プレフィルタ20と膜濾過カートリッジ30の間に切替弁72を設置した場合について説明する。この場合、使用モードが浄水モードのときは、図2(a)に示すように、切替弁72をバイパス水路61側に切り替える。これにより、原水導入口10から導入した原水をプレフィルタ20で濾過し、吐水口50から浄水を得ることができる。一方、使用モードが電解水モードのときは、図2(b)に示すように、切替弁72を膜濾過カートリッジ30側に切り替える。これにより、原水導入口10から導入した原水をプレフィルタ20と膜濾過カートリッジ30で濾過し、電解槽40で電気分解して吐水口50から電解水を得ることができる。
Next, the case where the switching valve 72 is installed between the pre-filter 20 and the membrane filtration cartridge 30 will be described with reference to FIG. In this case, when the use mode is the water purification mode, as shown in FIG. 2A, the switching valve 72 is switched to the bypass water channel 61 side. Thereby, the raw water introduced from the raw water inlet 10 can be filtered by the prefilter 20, and the purified water can be obtained from the water outlet 50. On the other hand, when the use mode is the electrolyzed water mode, as shown in FIG. 2B, the switching valve 72 is switched to the membrane filtration cartridge 30 side. As a result, the raw water introduced from the raw water inlet 10 can be filtered by the prefilter 20 and the membrane filtration cartridge 30 and electrolyzed in the electrolytic tank 40 to obtain electrolytic water from the water outlet 50.
次に、図3を用いて、(3)膜濾過カートリッジ30と電解槽40の間に切替弁73を設置した場合について説明する。この場合、使用モードが軟水モードのときは、図3(a)に示すように、切替弁73をバイパス水路61側に切り替える。これにより、原水導入口10から導入した原水をプレフィルタ20と膜濾過カートリッジ30で濾過し、吐水口50から軟水を得ることができる。一方、使用モードが電解水モードのときは、図3(b)に示すように、切替弁73を電解槽40側に切り替える。これにより、原水導入口10から導入した原水をプレフィルタ20と膜濾過カートリッジ30で濾過し、電解槽40で電気分解して吐水口50から電解水を得ることができる。
Next, the case where the switching valve 73 is installed between the membrane filtration cartridge 30 and the electrolytic cell 40 will be described with reference to FIG. In this case, when the use mode is the soft water mode, as shown in FIG. 3A, the switching valve 73 is switched to the bypass water channel 61 side. Thereby, the raw water introduced from the raw water inlet 10 can be filtered by the prefilter 20 and the membrane filtration cartridge 30, and soft water can be obtained from the water outlet 50. On the other hand, when the use mode is the electrolyzed water mode, as shown in FIG. 3B, the switching valve 73 is switched to the electrolytic cell 40 side. As a result, the raw water introduced from the raw water inlet 10 can be filtered by the prefilter 20 and the membrane filtration cartridge 30 and electrolyzed in the electrolytic tank 40 to obtain electrolytic water from the water outlet 50.
以上のように、第1実施形態における電解水生成装置によれば、使用モードに応じて濾過部への通水を避けることができるので、濾過部の寿命を長期化することができる。また、使用モードに応じて電解槽40への通水を避けることができるので、電解槽40の寿命も長期化することができる。
As mentioned above, according to the electrolyzed water generating apparatus in 1st Embodiment, since water flow to a filtration part can be avoided according to a use mode, lifetime of a filtration part can be prolonged. Moreover, since the water flow to the electrolytic cell 40 can be avoided according to a use mode, the lifetime of the electrolytic cell 40 can also be lengthened.

図5は、第2実施形態における電解水生成装置の構成図である。この電解水生成装置は、バイパス水路61と吐水口50の連結部から電解槽40側への逆流を防止する逆流防止弁75を備えている。その他の点は第1実施形態と同様である。 Second Embodiment
FIG. 5: is a block diagram of the electrolyzed water generating apparatus in 2nd Embodiment. This electrolyzed water generating device is provided with a
逆流防止弁75としては、例えばバネ式のものを採用することができる。順方向通水時は、図6(a)に示すように、バネ76が縮むことで水路が開き通水する。一方、逆方向通水時は、図6(b)に示すように、水圧で水路が閉鎖され、水が流れない。これにより、手洗いモード等の場合においてバイパス水路61を経由している水が電解槽40側へ流出することを防止することができ、吐水口50とバイパス水路61の連結部分に切替弁74を設けなくて済む。
As the non-return valve 75, for example, a spring type can be employed. At the time of forward water flow, as shown in FIG. 6A, the water channel opens and water flows by the spring 76 being contracted. On the other hand, when water flows in the reverse direction, as shown in FIG. 6 (b), the water channel is closed by water pressure and water does not flow. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the water passing through the bypass water channel 61 from flowing out to the electrolytic bath 40 side in the case of the hand washing mode etc., and the switching valve 74 is provided at the connection portion of the water outlet 50 and the bypass water channel 61. It is not necessary.

The "hand wash mode" is selected in FIG. 7, the "clean water mode" in FIG. 8, the "soft water mode" in FIG. 9, and the "electrolyzed water mode" in FIG. The control unit 82 is a microprocessor or the like provided with a CPU, a program ROM, a work RAM, and an input / output interface. The main control of the control unit 82 is realized by the CPU executing a program stored in the program ROM.
図11は、制御部82の制御内容を説明するための図である。この図に示すように、制御部82は、「手洗いモード」が選択された場合、切替弁71をバイパス水路61側に、切替弁72を膜濾過カートリッジ30側に、切替弁73を電解槽40側に、切替弁74をバイパス水路61側に切り替える。また、「浄水モード」が選択された場合、切替弁71をプレフィルタ20側に、切替弁72をバイパス水路61側に、切替弁73を電解槽40側に、切替弁74をバイパス水路61側に切り替える。また、「軟水モード」が選択された場合、切替弁71をプレフィルタ20側に、切替弁72を膜濾過カートリッジ30側に、切替弁73をバイパス水路61側に、切替弁74をバイパス水路61側に切り替える。また、「電解水モード」が選択された場合、切替弁71をプレフィルタ20側に、切替弁72を膜濾過カートリッジ30側に、切替弁73を電解槽40側に、切替弁74を電解槽40側に切り替える。
FIG. 11 is a diagram for explaining control contents of the control unit 82. As shown in FIG. As shown in this figure, when the "hand wash mode" is selected, the control unit 82 sets the switching valve 71 to the bypass channel 61 side, the switching valve 72 to the membrane filtration cartridge 30 side, and the switching valve 73 to the electrolytic bath 40. On the other hand, the switching valve 74 is switched to the bypass water channel 61 side. When the “clean water mode” is selected, the switching valve 71 is on the prefilter 20 side, the switching valve 72 is on the bypass water channel 61, the switching valve 73 is on the electrolytic tank 40, and the switching valve 74 is on the bypass water channel 61.

When the “electrolyzed water mode” is selected, the switching valve 71 is on the prefilter 20 side, the switching valve 72 on the membrane filtration cartridge 30 side, the switching valve 73 on the electrolytic cell 40 side, and the switching valve 74 on the electrolytic cell Switch to the 40 side.
このように、水の流れない箇所に設置されている切替弁については、バイパス水路61ではない向きに切り替えるようにしているので水の逆流を防止することができる。例えば、「手洗いモード」では、切替弁72及び73が設置されている箇所は水が流れないが、切替弁72は膜濾過カートリッジ30側に、切替弁73は電解槽40側に切り替えるようになっている。
As described above, since the switching valve installed at the place where the water does not flow is switched to the direction other than the bypass water passage 61, the backflow of water can be prevented. For example, in the "hand wash mode", water does not flow through the locations where the switching valves 72 and 73 are installed, but the switching valve 72 is switched to the membrane filtration cartridge 30 side and the switching valve 73 is switched to the electrolytic cell 40 side. ing.

FIG.12, FIG.13, FIG.14 is a block diagram of the electrolyzed water generating apparatus in 4th Embodiment. The electrolyzed water generating apparatus includes a flow
流量検出部90は、図12に示すように、プレフィルタ20の後段に1個設けてもよいし、図13に示すように、切替弁74の後段に1個設けてもよい。あるいは、図14に示すように、プレフィルタ20の後段と膜濾過カートリッジ30の後段の2箇所に設けてもよい。以下の説明では、プレフィルタ20の後段に設けた流量検出部90を「流量検出部91」、膜濾過カートリッジ30の後段に設けた流量検出部90を「流量検出部92」という。交換時期判断部83は、各濾材の交換時期を判断するための判断値をあらかじめ保持している。この交換時期判断値としては、瞬時流量(L/分)や積算水量(L)等を採用することができる。交換時期判断部83は、保持している交換時期判断値と、流量検出部90により検出された流量(以下、「検出値」という。)とを比較して交換時期を判断し、その判断結果を交換時期表示部84に表示させる。
One flow rate detector 90 may be provided downstream of the prefilter 20 as shown in FIG. 12, or one flow rate detector 90 may be provided downstream of the switching valve 74 as shown in FIG. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 14, it may be provided in two places, the rear stage of the pre-filter 20 and the rear stage of the membrane filtration cartridge 30. In the following description, the flow rate detector 90 provided downstream of the prefilter 20 is referred to as a “flow rate detector 91”, and the flow rate detector 90 provided downstream of the membrane filtration cartridge 30 is referred to as a flow rate detector 92. The replacement time determination unit 83 holds in advance a determination value for determining the replacement time of each filter medium. As the replacement time determination value, an instantaneous flow rate (L / min), an integrated water amount (L), or the like can be employed. The replacement time determination unit 83 determines the replacement time by comparing the stored replacement time determination value with the flow rate detected by the flow rate detection unit 90 (hereinafter referred to as "detection value"), and the determination result Is displayed on the replacement time display section 84.
図15は、瞬時流量を検出する流量検出部90を1個設けた場合における交換時期判断手順を示すフローチャートである。流量検出部90が1個の場合は、使用モードに対して交換時期を判断する濾材を決め、検出値と交換時期判断値との比較により交換時期を判断する。具体的には、浄水モードのときはプレフィルタ20の交換時期を判断し、軟水モードと電解水モードのときは膜濾過カートリッジ30の交換時期を判断する(図16参照)。
FIG. 15 is a flowchart showing the replacement timing determination procedure in the case where one flow rate detector 90 for detecting the instantaneous flow rate is provided. When the flow rate detection unit 90 is one, a filter medium for determining the replacement time is determined for the use mode, and the replacement time is determined by comparing the detected value with the replacement time determination value. Specifically, when in the water purification mode, the replacement time of the prefilter 20 is determined, and when in the soft water mode and the electrolyzed water mode, the replacement time of the membrane filtration cartridge 30 is determined (see FIG. 16).
まず、通水が開始されると使用モードを確認し、手洗いモードの場合は交換時期を判断しない(ステップS1→S2→S21→S22)。一方、浄水モードの場合は流量検出部90の検出値Q2とプレフィルタ20の交換時期判断値Bとを比較する(ステップS3→S13→S14→S15)。そして、検出値Q2が交換時期判断値Bよりも大きいときは交換時期ではないと判断し(ステップS15→S19→S20)、逆に、検出値Q2が交換時期判断値Bよりも小さいときはプレフィルタ20の交換時期であると判断して、その旨を交換時期表示部84に表示させる(ステップS15→S16→S17→S18)。さらに、軟水モードと電解水モードの場合は流量検出部90の検出値Q1と膜濾過カートリッジ30の交換時期判断値Aとを比較する(ステップS4→S5→S6→S7)。そして、検出値Q1が交換時期判断値Aよりも大きいときは交換時期ではないと判断し(ステップS7→S11→S12)、逆に、検出値Q1が交換時期判断値Aよりも小さいときは膜濾過カートリッジ30の交換時期であると判断して、その旨を交換時期表示部84に表示させる(ステップS7→S8→S9→S10)。
First, when the water flow is started, the usage mode is confirmed, and in the case of the hand washing mode, the replacement time is not determined (step S1 → S2 → S21 → S22). On the other hand, in the case of the water purification mode, the detection value Q2 of the flow rate detection unit 90 is compared with the replacement timing judgment value B of the prefilter 20 (steps S3 → S13 → S14 → S15). Then, when the detected value Q2 is larger than the replacement time determination value B, it is determined that it is not replacement time (step S15 → S19 → S20), conversely, when the detected value Q2 is smaller than the replacement time determination value B It is determined that it is time to replace the filter 20, and a message to that effect is displayed on the replacement time display section 84 (steps S15 → S16 → S17 → S18). Furthermore, in the case of the soft water mode and the electrolyzed water mode, the detection value Q1 of the flow rate detection unit 90 is compared with the replacement timing determination value A of the membrane filtration cartridge 30 (steps S4 → S5 → S6 → S7). Then, when the detected value Q1 is larger than the replacement time determination value A, it is determined that it is not replacement time (steps S7 → S11 → S12), conversely, when the detected value Q1 is smaller than the replacement time determination value A It is determined that it is time to replace the filtration cartridge 30, and a message to that effect is displayed on the replacement time display section 84 (steps S7 → S8 → S9 → S10).
なお、交換時期判断値A、Bの決め方は特に限定されるものではない。例えば、浄水モードのときに比べて軟水モードや電解水モードにしたときに流量が低下すれば、膜濾過カートリッジ30の目詰まりが発生していると考えることができる。そこで、膜濾過カートリッジ30の交換時期判断値Aは、浄水モードにおける流量検出部90の検出値Q2と軟水モードや電解水モードにおける流量検出部90の検出値Q1との差分に基づいて決めてもよい。
Note that how to determine the replacement time determination values A and B is not particularly limited. For example, if the flow rate is lowered when the soft water mode or the electrolytic water mode is selected as compared with the water purification mode, it can be considered that the membrane filtration cartridge 30 is clogged. Therefore, even if the replacement timing determination value A of the membrane filtration cartridge 30 is determined based on the difference between the detection value Q2 of the flow rate detection unit 90 in the clean water mode and the detection value Q1 of the flow rate detection unit 90 in the soft water mode or the electrolyzed water mode. Good.
図17は、積算流量を検出する流量検出部90を1個設けた場合における交換時期判断手順を示すフローチャートである。この場合、浄水モードではプレフィルタ20の積算流量L2を検出することになる(ステップS44)。そして、積算流量L2がプレフィルタ20の交換時期判断値Bよりも小さいときは交換時期ではないと判断し(ステップS45→S49)、逆に、積算流量L2が交換時期判断値Bよりも大きいときはプレフィルタ20の交換時期であると判断する(ステップS45→S46)。一方、軟水モードと電解水モードではプレフィルタ20及び膜濾過カートリッジ30の積算流量L1を検出することになる(ステップS36)。そして、積算流量L1が膜濾過カートリッジ30の交換時期判断値Aよりも小さいときは交換時期ではないと判断し(ステップS37→S41)、逆に、積算流量L1が交換時期判断値Aよりも大きいときは膜濾過カートリッジ30の交換時期であると判断する(ステップS37→S38)。その他の点は瞬時流量を検出する場合と同様である。
FIG. 17 is a flowchart showing the replacement time determination procedure in the case where one flow rate detection unit 90 for detecting the integrated flow rate is provided. In this case, the integrated flow rate L2 of the prefilter 20 is detected in the water purification mode (step S44). Then, when integrated flow rate L2 is smaller than replacement time judgment value B of prefilter 20, it is judged that it is not replacement time (step S45 → S49), conversely, when integrated flow rate L2 is larger than replacement time judgment value B It is determined that it is time to replace the prefilter 20 (steps S45 to S46). On the other hand, in the soft water mode and the electrolyzed water mode, the integrated flow rate L1 of the prefilter 20 and the membrane filtration cartridge 30 is detected (step S36). Then, when the integrated flow rate L1 is smaller than the replacement time determination value A of the membrane filtration cartridge 30, it is determined that it is not the replacement time (step S37 → S41), conversely, the integrated flow rate L1 is larger than the replacement time determination value A It is determined that it is time to replace the membrane filtration cartridge 30 (step S37 → S38). The other points are the same as in the case of detecting the instantaneous flow rate.
図18A及び図18Bは、積算流量を検出する流量検出部90を2個設けた場合における交換時期判断手順を示すフローチャートである。流量検出部90が複数個の場合は、各々の流量検出部90に対して交換時期を判断する濾材を決め、それぞれの検出値と交換時期判断値との比較により交換時期を判断する。以下、プレフィルタ20の後段と膜濾過カートリッジ30の後段の2箇所に流量検出部90を設けた場合を想定して説明する(図14参照)。
FIG. 18A and FIG. 18B are flowcharts showing a replacement timing determination procedure in the case where two flow rate detection units 90 for detecting the integrated flow rate are provided. If there are a plurality of flow rate detection units 90, filter media for determining the replacement time are determined for each flow rate detection unit 90, and the replacement time is determined by comparing each detected value with the replacement time determination value. The following description will be given on the assumption that the flow rate detection unit 90 is provided at two places, the rear stage of the prefilter 20 and the rear stage of the membrane filtration cartridge 30 (see FIG. 14).
浄水モードの場合は、膜濾過カートリッジ30の交換時期は判断せず、流量検出部91の積算流量L1とプレフィルタ20の交換時期判断値Aとを比較する(ステップS63→S78→S79→S80)。そして、積算流量L1が交換時期判断値Aよりも小さいときは交換時期ではないと判断し(ステップS80→S84)、逆に、積算流量L1が交換時期判断値Aよりも大きいときはプレフィルタ20の交換時期であると判断して、その旨を交換時期表示部84に表示させる(ステップS80→S81→S82)。
In the case of the water purification mode, the integrated flow rate L1 of the flow rate detection unit 91 is compared with the replacement time judgment value A of the prefilter 20 without judging the replacement time of the membrane filtration cartridge 30 (steps S63 → S78 → S79 → S80) . Then, when integrated flow rate L1 is smaller than replacement time judgment value A, it is judged that it is not replacement time (step S80 → S84), conversely, when integrated flow rate L1 is larger than replacement time judgment value A, pre-filter 20 It is judged that it is the replacement time of, and that effect is displayed on the replacement time display section 84 (steps S80 → S81 → S82).
一方、軟水モードと電解水モードの場合は、浄水モードの場合と同様の手順でプレフィルタ20の交換時期を判断する(ステップS64→S65→S66→S67)。次いで、流量検出部92の積算流量L2と膜濾過カートリッジ30の交換時期判断値Bとを比較する(ステップS69→S70)。そして、積算流量L2が交換時期判断値Bよりも小さいときは交換時期ではないと判断し(ステップS70→S74)、逆に、積算流量L2が交換時期判断値Bよりも大きいときは膜濾過カートリッジ30の交換時期であると判断して、その旨を交換時期表示部84に表示させる(ステップS70→S71→S72)。
On the other hand, in the case of the soft water mode and the electrolyzed water mode, the replacement time of the pre-filter 20 is determined in the same procedure as in the case of the water purification mode (steps S64 → S65 → S66 → S67). Next, the integrated flow rate L2 of the flow rate detection unit 92 is compared with the replacement time judgment value B of the membrane filtration cartridge 30 (step S69 → S70). Then, when integrated flow rate L2 is smaller than replacement time judgment value B, it is judged that it is not replacement time (step S70 → S74), conversely, when integrated flow rate L2 is larger than replacement time judgment value B, membrane filtration cartridge It is determined that it is time to replace the T.30, and a message to that effect is displayed on the replacement time display section 84 (steps S70 → S71 → S72).
以上のように、第4実施形態における電解水生成装置によれば、流量に基づき濾材の交換時期を判断してその判断結果を表示するようにしているので、適切なタイミングで濾材の交換時期を自動的に使用者へ知らせることができる。
As described above, according to the electrolyzed water generating apparatus of the fourth embodiment, the filter medium replacement time is determined based on the flow rate and the determination result is displayed. Therefore, the filter medium replacement time can be appropriately determined. It can notify the user automatically.
(第5実施形態)
図19は、第5実施形態における電解水生成装置の構成図である。この電解水生成装置は、初期通水時において流量検出部90により検出された流量を記憶する初期値記憶部85を備えている。交換時期判断部83は、初期値記憶部85に記憶された流量と流量検出部90により検出された流量とを比較して交換時期を判断する。その他の点は第4実施形態と同様である。 Fifth Embodiment
FIG. 19 is a block diagram of the electrolyzed water generating apparatus in 5th Embodiment. The electrolyzed water generating device includes an initialvalue storage unit 85 that stores the flow rate detected by the flow rate detection unit 90 at the time of initial water flow. The replacement time determination unit 83 compares the flow rate stored in the initial value storage unit 85 with the flow rate detected by the flow rate detection unit 90 to determine the replacement time. The other points are the same as in the fourth embodiment.
図19は、第5実施形態における電解水生成装置の構成図である。この電解水生成装置は、初期通水時において流量検出部90により検出された流量を記憶する初期値記憶部85を備えている。交換時期判断部83は、初期値記憶部85に記憶された流量と流量検出部90により検出された流量とを比較して交換時期を判断する。その他の点は第4実施形態と同様である。 Fifth Embodiment
FIG. 19 is a block diagram of the electrolyzed water generating apparatus in 5th Embodiment. The electrolyzed water generating device includes an initial
初期値記憶部85は、各使用モードで初期通水時において流量検出部90により検出された流量(以下、「初期値」という。)を記憶する。初期通水は、一定の条件で行う必要があるため、使用者が任意に操作できるバルブではなく電磁弁の開閉等により行う。交換時期判断部83が交換時期判断値(例:流量が半分になったとき)をあらかじめ保持している点は第4実施形態と同様である。初期通水後は通常使用を行う。
The initial value storage unit 85 stores the flow rate (hereinafter referred to as "initial value") detected by the flow rate detection unit 90 at the time of initial water flow in each use mode. Since it is necessary to carry out the initial water flow under certain conditions, it is carried out by opening and closing the solenoid valve instead of the valve which the user can operate arbitrarily. It is the same as the fourth embodiment in that the replacement timing determination unit 83 holds in advance the replacement timing determination value (for example, when the flow rate is halved). After initial water flow, use normally.
図20A及び図20Bは、瞬時流量を検出する流量検出部90を2個設けた場合における交換時期判断手順を示すフローチャートである。以下、プレフィルタ20の後段と膜濾過カートリッジ30の後段の2箇所に流量検出部90を設けた場合を想定して説明する(図19参照)。
FIGS. 20A and 20B are flowcharts showing a replacement timing determination procedure in the case where two flow rate detection units 90 for detecting an instantaneous flow rate are provided. The following description will be given on the assumption that the flow rate detection units 90 are provided at two positions, the rear stage of the prefilter 20 and the rear stage of the membrane filtration cartridge 30 (see FIG. 19).
浄水モードの場合において、初期値記憶部85に初期値S1が記憶されているときは、流量検出部91の検出値Q1とプレフィルタ20の交換時期判断値Aとを比較する(ステップS93→S106→S107→S108)。そして、検出値Q1が交換時期判断値Aよりも大きいときは交換時期ではないと判断し(ステップS108→S112)、逆に、検出値Q1が交換時期判断値Aよりも小さいときはプレフィルタ20の交換時期であると判断して、その旨を交換時期表示部84に表示させる(ステップS108→S109→S110)。なお、初期値記憶部85に初期値S1が記憶されていないときは、検出値Q1を初期値S1として初期値記憶部85に記憶しておく(ステップS107→S114)。また、交換時期判断値Aを例えばA=S1÷2により算出して保持しておく(ステップS115)。
In the case of the water purification mode, when the initial value S1 is stored in the initial value storage unit 85, the detection value Q1 of the flow rate detection unit 91 is compared with the replacement timing determination value A of the prefilter 20 (step S93 → S106) → S107 → S108). Then, when the detected value Q1 is larger than the replacement time determination value A, it is determined that it is not replacement time (step S108 → S112), conversely, when the detected value Q1 is smaller than the replacement time determination value A, the prefilter 20 is selected. It is judged that it is the replacement time of and the effect is displayed on the replacement time display section 84 (steps S108 → S109 → S110). When the initial value S1 is not stored in the initial value storage unit 85, the detection value Q1 is stored in the initial value storage unit 85 as the initial value S1 (step S107 → S114). Further, the replacement time determination value A is calculated and held, for example, by A = S1 / 2 (step S115).
一方、軟水モードと電解水モードの場合において、初期値記憶部85に初期値S2が記憶されているときは、流量検出部92の検出値Q2と膜濾過カートリッジ30の交換時期判断値Bとを比較する(ステップS93→S94→S95→S96)。そして、検出値Q2が交換時期判断値Bよりも大きいときは交換時期ではないと判断し(ステップS96→S100)、逆に、検出値Q2が交換時期判断値Bよりも小さいときは膜濾過カートリッジ30の交換時期であると判断して、その旨を交換時期表示部84に表示させる(ステップS96→S97→S98)。なお、初期値記憶部85に初期値S2が記憶されていないときは、検出値Q2を初期値S2として初期値記憶部85に記憶しておく(ステップS102)。また、交換時期判断値Bを例えばB=S2÷2により算出して保持しておく(ステップS103)。
On the other hand, when the initial value S2 is stored in the initial value storage unit 85 in the soft water mode and the electrolyzed water mode, the detection value Q2 of the flow rate detection unit 92 and the replacement timing determination value B of the membrane filtration cartridge 30 The comparison is made (steps S93 → S94 → S95 → S96). Then, when the detected value Q2 is larger than the replacement time determination value B, it is determined that it is not replacement time (step S96 → S100), conversely, when the detected value Q2 is smaller than the replacement time determination value B, the membrane filtration cartridge It is determined that it is time to replace the T.30, and a message to that effect is displayed on the replacement time display section 84 (steps S96 → S97 → S98). When the initial value S2 is not stored in the initial value storage unit 85, the detection value Q2 is stored in the initial value storage unit 85 as the initial value S2 (step S102). Further, the replacement time judgment value B is calculated and held, for example, by B = S2 / 2 (step S103).
以上のように、第5実施形態における電解水生成装置によれば、初期通水時において検出された流量に基づき濾材の交換時期を判断してその判断結果を表示するようにしているので、使用環境(水圧等)の影響も考慮して交換時期を判断することができる。
As described above, according to the electrolyzed water generating apparatus of the fifth embodiment, the filter medium replacement time is determined based on the flow rate detected at the time of initial water passage, and the determination result is displayed. The timing of replacement can be determined in consideration of the influence of the environment (water pressure etc.).
なお、ここでは、初期値が自動的に算出されて初期値記憶部85に記憶されることとしているが、初期値の記憶方法はこれに限定されるものではない。例えば、初期値を設定するためのモードを設け、この初期値設定モードにおいて使用者が設定した値を初期値記憶部85に記憶するようにしてもよい。
Here, although the initial value is automatically calculated and stored in the initial value storage unit 85, the storage method of the initial value is not limited to this. For example, a mode for setting an initial value may be provided, and the value set by the user in this initial value setting mode may be stored in the initial value storage unit 85.
なお、以上では好適な実施形態について説明したが、本発明は前記実施形態に限定されず、種々の変形が可能である。例えば、一体型プレフィルタを例示したが、プレフィルタを複数設けた場合は、それに応じて切替弁やバイパス水路61を複数設けることもできる。
