first embodiment

[0042] FIGS. 1 to 3 show first embodiment of an apparatus for supplying mineral water of the present invention. First, a schematic configuration of the apparatus for supplying mineral water is described by referring to FIG. 1.

[0043] The apparatus for supplying mineral water has a mineral water generation unit 1 for generating mineral water, purifying bath 2, pump 3, cold water storage tank 4, hot water storage tank 5, cold water supply valve 6a, hot water supply valve 6b, and water supply valve 6c.

[0044] The water supply valve 6c is set to a water supply pipe 7a for supplying tap water (chlorine-ion containing water) to the water generation unit 1. The mineral water discharged from the mineral water generation unit 1 is supplied to the purifying bath 2 through a first leading pipe 8a. The pump 3 is set to a second leading pipe 8b. The front end of the second leading pipe 8b is branched into two pipes. The front end of one branch pipe 8b1 is connected to the cold water storage tank ...

second embodiment

[0061] According to this embodiment, when opening the return valve 6d and driving the pump 3, mineral water circulates as shown by the continuous line arrow in FIG. 5. That is, the mineral water in the cold water storage tank 4 flows from the cold water supply pipe 8d to return pipe 8e, return valve 6d, and mineral water generation unit 1 in order. Moreover, the mineral water in the mineral water generation unit 1 flows into the cold water storage tank 4 similarly to the case of the

[0062] Thus, it is possible to replace the mineral water in the cold water storage tank 4 with the mineral water newly generated by the mineral water generation unit 1. As a result, it is possible to keep the hypochlorous concentration at a predetermined value. Moreover, it is possible to sterilize a mineral-water supply pipe system.

[0063] Furthermore, when applying a DC current to the electrodes 142a and 142b at the same time as circulation of the above mineral water, the sterilizing effect of the miner...

fifth embodiment

[0070] According to this embodiment, the bypass valve 6h is opened and the water leading valve 6g is closed to drive the pump 3. Thereby, as shown by continuous line arrows in FIG. 8, the mineral water in the cold water storage tank 4 circulates. That is, the mineral water in the cold water storage tank 4 flows from the cold water supply pipe 8c to the return pipe 8e, return valve 6d, and mineral water generation unit 1 in order. Moreover, the mineral water in the mineral water generation unit 1 flows from the first leading pipe 8a to the bypass pipe 8g, the second leading pipe 8b, and cold water storage tank 4 in order. Thereby, it is possible to sterilize a piping system excluding the purifying baths 2 and 2a. Moreover, it is possible to set the hypochlorous concentration of the mineral water in the cold water storage tank 4 to a desired value. Description of other configurations and functions is omitted because the configurations and functions are the same as those of the

Abstract

By supplying DC to electrodes (142a and 142b), chlorine-ion containing water is electrolyzed and acid water and alkali water are generated. Mineral eluted substances (141) react with the acid water to elute mineral components. Moreover, by electrolyzing the chlorine-ion containing water, the hypochlorous concentration of the chlorine-ion containing water increases. Mineral water is led into a cold water storage tank (4). Thereby, mineral water is supplied from the cold water storage tank (4) and moreover, breeding of bacteria is restrained in the cold water storage tank (4).

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to an apparatus for supplying mineral water for cooling or heating and supplying drinking water such as natural water. BACKGROUND ART [0002] The apparatus for supplying mineral water disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 2000-335691 has been known so far as this type of apparatus for supplying mineral water. [0003] This apparatus for supplying mineral water has a mineral water storage tank in which mineral water is stored, a cold water storage tank in which mineral water led out of the mineral water storage tank is stored and cooled, and a hot water storage tank in which mineral water led out of a mineral water vessel is stored and heated. When a user wants cold water, the mineral water in the cold water storage tank is supplied or when the user wants hot water, the mineral water in the hot water storage tank is supplied. [0004] In the case of this apparatus for supplying mineral water, because the temperature of the hot wa...
