[0027] Figure 10 Functional block diagram of the electrolyzed water spraying device of Example 3 Detailed implementation manners

[0028] (Example 1)

[0029] Before specifically describing the embodiments of the present invention, an overview of the embodiments will be described. This embodiment relates to an electrolyzed water spraying device that generates electrolyzed water using water stored in a water storage unit and sprays the generated electrolyzed water. The electrolyzed water spraying device generates water containing chloride ions by dissolving an electrolysis promoting tablet in the water of the water storage unit, and electrolyzes the water containing chloride ions by energizing an electrode, thereby generating electrolyzed water containing reactive oxygen species. If the electrolyzed water spraying device continues to operate, water evaporation or chloride ion consumption may occur. Therefore, it is necessary to supply water to the water storage unit again and add the electrolysis promoting tablet again. The amount of water evaporation or chloride ion consumption varies depending on the usage condition of the electrolyzed water spraying device. For example, if the amount of the electrolysis promoting tablet added is too much or too little, the amount of chloride ions will be too much or too little, resulting in unstable electrolysis.

[0030] In order to stably perform electrolysis, the electrolyzed water spraying device of this embodiment calculates the electrocharacteristic power consumption by accumulating the energization time of the electrode and the electrocharacteristic value during the energization of the electrode. In addition, the greater the electrocharacteristic power consumption, the more the chloride ions are consumed, and the smaller the electrocharacteristic power consumption, the less the chloride ions are consumed. Therefore, the electrolyzed water spraying device increases the amount of the electrolysis promoting tablet added when the electrocharacteristic power consumption is greater, and decreases the amount of the electrolysis promoting tablet added when the electrocharacteristic power consumption is smaller.

[0031] Next, a manner for implementing the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Figure 1A and Figure 1B show the structure of the electrolyzed water spraying device 100. Figure 1A is a perspective view of the electrolyzed water spraying device 100 and is a view of observing the electrolyzed water spraying device 100 from the front side. Figure 1B is a perspective view of the electrolyzed water spraying device 100 and is a view of observing the electrolyzed water spraying device 100 from the front side in a state where the panel 3 of Figure 1A is opened.

[0032] In addition, for the sake of convenience of explanation, the description may sometimes be made in the following manner.

[0033] That is, as Figure 1A shown, the vertical direction in the state where the electrolyzed water spraying device 100 is provided may be denoted as the up and down directions as "upper side" and "lower side". Similarly, as Figure 1AAs shown, the vertical direction in the state where the electrolyzed water spraying device 100 is provided is taken as the up-and-down direction, and the upper surface of the electrolyzed water spraying device 100 is denoted as the "top surface" or the "upper surface".

[0034] The electrolyzed water spraying device 100 has a main body case 1 with a substantially box shape. Substantially quadrilateral suction ports 2 are provided on both side surfaces of the main body case 1. An openable and closable air outlet 6 is provided on the top surface of the main body case 1. Figure 1A and Figure 1B In, the air outlet 6 is in a closed state.

[0035] An upper panel 20 is provided on the front side of the upper surface of the main body case 1. Figure 2 Shows the structure of the upper panel 20. On the upper panel 20, there are provided: a power button 120 to be pressed when turning on (ON) or off (OFF) the power supply of the electrolyzed water spraying device 100; an electrolysis intensity button 122 to be pressed when changing the electrolysis intensity; and an air volume button 124 to be pressed when changing the air volume. By pressing the electrolysis intensity button 122, the electrolysis intensity is changed in three levels of "weak", "medium", and "strong". In addition, by pressing the air volume button 124, the air volume is changed in four levels of "silent", "medium", "strong", and "automatic". A plurality of lights are provided on the upper panel 20 for indicating the state of the electrolyzed water spraying device 100 according to the lighting state, or for giving various instructions to the user, etc. For example, according to the lighting state of the lights, the user is urged to drain the water storage part 14.

[0036] When viewed from the front side of the main body case 1, an openable and closable panel 3 is provided on the main body side surface 1A which is the right side surface (one side surface of the main body case 1). The suction port 2 on one side surface of the main body case 1 is provided on the panel 3. A vertically long quadrilateral opening 4 covered by the panel 3 is provided on the main body case 1. In the main body case 1, a water storage part 14, a water supply part 15, a tablet input box 18a, etc., which will be described later, are arranged in a manner that can be taken out through the opening 4.

[0037] In addition, an inner door panel 25 that can be operated by the user through the opening 4 is provided inside the main body case 1. A plurality of lights are provided on the inner door panel 25 for indicating the state of the electrolyzed water spraying device 100 according to the lighting state or for giving various instructions to the user. In addition, a plurality of operation buttons for the user to give various notifications to the electrolyzed water spraying device 100 are provided on the inner door panel 25. One of the plurality of operation buttons is an operation button for notifying the electrolyzed water spraying device 100 that the drainage has been performed after the user has drained the water storage part 14 when a display for urging the drainage of the water storage part 14 is made. If the user operates the operation button for notifying that the drainage has been performed, the electrolyzed water spraying device 100 recognizes that the drainage of the water storage part 14 has ended.

[0038] The water storage part 14 can be taken out from the main body casing 1 through the opening 4 . The water storage part 14 is drained by taking out the water storage part 14 from the main body casing 1 through the opening 4 .

[0039] The door inner panel 25 is provided at a position where it can be operated when the panel 3 is opened. Thus, in the case of notification by the light of the upper panel 20, in order to end the display (corresponding to the notification by the light), the user must open the panel 3. Thus, the electrolytic water spraying device 100 can urge the user to drain the water of the water storage part 14 according to the action of opening the panel 3. In addition, when operating the door inner panel 25, the user can confirm the state of the water storage part 14 through the opening 4. Thus, after seeing that the water storage part 14 is drained, the user can operate the door inner panel 25.

[0040] Figure 3A and Figure 3B 1 is a cross-sectional view showing the structure of the electrolytic water spraying device 100 . Figure 3A It is a cross-sectional view obtained by cutting the central portion of the electrolytic water spraying device 100 in the longitudinal direction when viewed from the front, and is a view of the electrolytic water spraying device 100 viewed from the right side. Figure 3B This is a cross-sectional view of the electrolytic water spraying device 100 cut along the longitudinal direction on the right side when viewed from the front, and is a view viewed from the right side of the electrolytic water spraying device 100 . Figure 4 4 is a functional block diagram of the electrolytic water spraying device 100 .

[0041] like Figure 1B , Figure 3A , Figure 3B and Figure 4 As shown, an electrolytic water generating unit 5, a water supply unit 15, a spraying unit 19 and an air passage 8 are provided in the main body shell 1. The electrolytic water generating unit 5 includes a water storage unit 14, an electrolysis unit 17, an electrolysis promoting tablet input unit 18, a control unit 30, a display unit 420 and a drainage display unit 430. The water storage unit 14 is a box-shaped unit with an open top surface and has a structure capable of storing water. The water storage unit 14 is arranged at the lower part of the main body shell 1, can be slid in the horizontal direction from the main body shell 1 for disassembly and can be taken out from the main body shell 1 through the opening 4. The water storage unit 14 stores water supplied from the water supply unit 15.

[0042] The electrolysis unit 17 has an electrode component (not shown), which is arranged to be immersed in the water in the water storage unit 14. By energizing the electrode component, the electrolysis unit 17 electrochemically electrolyzes the water containing chloride ions in the water storage unit 14 to generate electrolyzed water containing reactive oxygen species. Here, reactive oxygen species are oxygen molecules and related substances of oxygen molecules with higher oxidation activity than ordinary oxygen. For example, reactive oxygen species include so-called narrow-sense reactive oxygen such as superoxide anion, singlet oxygen, hydroxyl radical or hydrogen peroxide, and so-called broad-sense reactive oxygen such as ozone and hypochlorous acid (hypohalous acid). In addition, the water containing chloride ions is equivalent to the water after adding an electrolysis-promoting tablet.

[0043] The electrolysis unit 17 generates electrolyzed water by repeatedly energizing and de-energizing the electrode component multiple times. Specifically, the electrolysis unit 17 takes the energization time for electrolysis of the electrode component; and the time after the energization of the electrode component is stopped, that is, the de-energization time as the time when no energization is performed, as one cycle, and repeats this one cycle multiple times. By setting the de-energization time for the electrode component, the life of the electrode component is extended. If the energization time is extended compared to the de-energization time, electrolyzed water containing a larger amount of reactive oxygen species is generated in each cycle. In addition, if the de-energization time is extended compared to the energization time, the generation of reactive oxygen species in each cycle is suppressed. Furthermore, if the amount of electricity during the energization time is increased, electrolyzed water containing a larger amount of reactive oxygen species is generated.

[0044] The electrolysis-promoting tablet input unit 18 includes: a tablet input box 18a; a tablet input component (not shown) provided in the tablet input box 18a; and a tablet input lid 18b provided on the upper part of the tablet input box 18a in a freely detachable and attachable manner. The tablet input box 18a can be taken out from the main body case 1 through the opening 4. The user removes the tablet input lid 18b from the taken-out tablet input box 18a, so that the electrolysis-promoting tablet can be filled in the tablet input box 18a.

[0045] If there is an instruction to input an electrolysis-promoting tablet from the control unit 30, the electrolysis-promoting tablet input unit 18 rotates the tablet input component. If the tablet input component rotates, the electrolysis-promoting tablet falls into the water storage unit 14 through the dropping opening (not shown) on the bottom surface of the tablet input box 18a. The electrolysis-promoting tablet input unit 18 counts the number of electrolysis-promoting tablets that fall from the tablet input box 18a into the water storage unit 14. If it is determined that one electrolysis-promoting tablet has fallen from the tablet input box 18a into the water storage unit 14, the electrolysis-promoting tablet input unit 18 stops the rotation of the tablet input component. By dissolving the electrolysis-promoting tablet in the water in the water storage unit 14, water containing chloride ions is generated in the water storage unit 14. An example of the electrolysis-promoting tablet is sodium chloride.

[0046] The electrolyzed water spraying device 100 may also not have the electrolysis promoting tablet input part 18. In this case, the electrolyzed water spraying device 100 may also give a notice to indicate to the user to input the electrolysis promoting tablets through display, sound, etc., and the user directly inputs the electrolysis promoting tablets into the water storage part 14. When the electrolysis promoting tablet input part 18 is not provided, the control of the control part 30 related to the electrolysis promoting tablet input part 18 in the following description is omitted.

[0047] The control part 30 is provided, for example, on the back side of the operation panel (upper panel 20), and the operation panel is provided on the top surface of the main body case 1 (refer to FIG. 1), and controls the electrolyzed water generating part 5. Specifically, the control part 30 controls the electrolysis part 17 to perform electrolysis of water. In addition, the control part 30 controls the display to urge the user to supply or drain water from the water storage part 14. In addition, the control part 30 controls the electrolysis promoting tablet input part 18 to input the electrolysis promoting tablets.

[0048] The water supply part 15 is provided on the right side surface when viewed from the front inside the main body case 1, can be disassembled from the water storage part 14, and can be taken out of the main body case 1 through the opening 4. The water supply part 15 is installed on the tank holding part 14a provided on the bottom surface of the water storage part 14.

[0049] The water supply part 15 includes a tank 15a for storing water and a lid 15b provided at an opening (not shown) of the tank 15a. An opening and closing part (not shown) is provided in the center of the lid 15b. By opening the opening and closing part, the water in the tank 15a is supplied to the water storage part 14. Specifically, if the opening of the tank 15a is facing downwards and the water supply part 15 is installed on the tank holding part 14a of the water storage part 14, the opening and closing part of the lid 15b is opened by the tank holding part 14a. That is, if the water supply part 15 filled with water is installed on the tank holding part 14a, the opening and closing part of the lid 15b is opened and water is supplied to the water storage part 14, and water is stored in the water storage part 14. If the water level in the water storage part 14 rises to reach the lid 15b, the water supply stops because the opening of the water supply part 15 is sealed by water. When the water level in the water storage part 14 drops while there is still water remaining inside the water supply part 15, the water inside the tank 15a is supplied to the water storage part 14. That is, the water level in the water storage part 14 is kept constant.

[0050] In addition, the electrolyzed water spraying device 100 may also not have the tank 15a as the water supply part 15. In this case, a pipeline for supplying tap water to the electrolyzed water spraying device 100 may also be provided, and when the water level in the water storage part 14 drops, tap water is supplied until the water level in the water storage part 14 rises to a specified position.

[0051] The spraying unit 19 includes a blowing unit 7 and a filter unit 16. The blowing unit 7 is disposed at the central portion of the main body case 1, and includes a motor unit 9, a fan unit 10 rotated by the motor unit 9, and a scroll-shaped housing unit 11 surrounding the motor unit 9 and the fan unit 10.

[0052] The fan unit 10 is, for example, a sirocco fan, and is fixed to a rotating shaft 9a extending horizontally from the motor unit 9.

[0053] The motor unit 9 is fixed to the housing unit 11. The rotating shaft 9a of the motor unit 9 extends from the front side to the back side of the main body case 1. In the housing unit 11, an outlet 12 is provided on the upper side of the main body case 1 of the housing unit 11, and an inlet 13 is provided on the back side of the main body case 1 of the housing unit 11.

[0054] According to temperature, humidity, or the odor level of the gas, etc., the air volume of the blowing unit 7 is determined in terms of the air volume per unit time (for example, 5 minutes). According to the determined air volume, the rotation amount of the motor unit 9 is controlled.

[0055] The filter unit 16 is a component that brings the electrolyzed water stored in the water storage unit 14 into contact with the indoor air flowing into the main body case 1 through the blowing unit 7. The filter unit 16 is configured in a cylindrical shape and has a filter 16a including holes through which air can flow in the circumferential portion. One end of the filter unit 16 is arranged so as to be immersed in and retain water in the electrolyzed water in the water storage unit 14, and is rotatably built in the water storage unit 14 with the central axis of the filter 16a as the rotation center. The filter unit 16 is rotated by a driving unit (not shown) to continuously bring the electrolyzed water into contact with the indoor air.

[0056] The air passage 8 connects the suction port 2 and the blowout port 6. Specifically, the air passage 8 is composed of the suction port 2, the filter unit 16, the blowing unit 7, and the blowout port 6 in sequence starting from the suction port 2. If the fan unit 10 is rotated by the motor unit 9, the outside air sucked from the suction port 2 and entering the air passage 8 is blown out to the outside of the electrolyzed water spraying device 100 via the filter 16a, the blowing unit 7, and the blowout port 6. Thereby, the electrolyzed water generated in the water storage unit 14 is sprayed to the outside. In addition, the electrolyzed water spraying device 100 may not necessarily spray the electrolyzed water itself. The spraying of electrolyzed water also includes spraying the active oxygen species finally generated from the electrolyzed water (including volatilization).

[0057] Figures 5A to 5C Shows the operation outline of the electrolyzed water spraying device 100. Figure 5A Shows the operation outline of an existing electrolyzed water spraying device as a comparison object.

[0058] In the existing electrolyzed water spraying device, starting from the time when drainage is performed on the water storage section and the first water supply is performed, an electrolysis promoting tablet is put in. For example, the electrolysis promoting tablet is a tablet having a size that can be installed in the tablet input box (hereinafter also referred to as "salt tablet"), and one salt tablet is put in. According to the operation of the electrolyzed water spraying device, if the water in the water storage section evaporates and reaches a specified level, it is determined that there is a water shortage. If it is determined that there is a water shortage, water is supplied to the water storage section. Here, water shortage is determined 7 times in the form of water shortage 1 to water shortage 7. In the existing electrolyzed water spraying device, a salt tablet is put in at a time 3 days after the starting point. In addition, the water in the water storage section is drained at a time 7 days after the starting point. Thus, drainage and water supply are performed with 7 days as one cycle (period), and 2 salt tablets are put in.

[0059] In order to use the electrolyzed water spraying device 100 of the present embodiment in a larger space, compared with the above-mentioned existing electrolyzed water spraying device, it is necessary to improve the spraying ability of electrolyzed water. In this case, since the spraying amount of electrolyzed water within a certain period increases, the tank capacity of the necessary water supply section 15 also increases, and the water supply amount within a certain period increases. Therefore, sometimes one input amount of salt tablets required for a preset time is not enough, and it may not be possible to stably achieve the antibacterial and deodorizing performance.

[0060] In addition, an electrolysis intensity button 122 and a wind volume button 124 are included on the upper panel 20 of the electrolyzed water spraying device 100. The electrolysis intensity can be changed by using the electrolysis intensity button 122. In addition, the wind volume can be changed by using the wind volume button 124. Figure 6A and Figure 6B shows other operation outlines of the electrolyzed water spraying device 100. Figure 6A shows the current value, the energization time, and the non-energization time when the electrolysis intensity is set to "strong" and the wind volume is set to "silent", "medium", or "strong". Figure 6B shows the current value, the energization time, and the non-energization time when the electrolysis intensity is set to "medium" and the wind volume is set to "silent", "medium", or "strong". According to Figure 6A and Figure 6B , the stronger the electrolysis intensity, the larger the current value and the longer the energization time. In addition, the stronger the wind volume, the larger the current value and the longer the energization time. In addition, due to the increase in the cumulative value of the energization time and the current value, the consumption amount of chloride ions increases, and the generation amount of electrolyzed water increases. Therefore, the required number of salt tablets varies according to the settings of the electrolysis intensity and the wind volume. In order to correspond to this, the electrolyzed water spraying device 100 operates as shown in Figure 5B and Figure 5C .

[0061] Figure 5B shows the first operation of the electrolyzed water spraying device 100. Figure 5B and Figure 5ASimilarly shows the operation summary of the electrolyzed water spraying device 100. During the period from the starting point to the 3rd day, the electrolyzed water spraying device 100 calculates the electricity consumption of the electrical characteristics by accumulating the electrical characteristic values of the electrode components of the electrolysis unit 17. The electrical characteristic values are, for example, voltage values, current values, or power values. In addition, if the electricity consumption of the electrical characteristics is small, the electrolyzed water spraying device 100 inserts one salt tablet at the time of 3 days after passing from the starting point. On the other hand, if the electricity consumption of the electrical characteristics is large, the electrolyzed water spraying device 100 inserts two salt tablets at the time of 3 days after passing from the starting point. Moreover, the electrolyzed water spraying device 100 discharges the water in the water storage unit 14 at the time of 7 days after passing from the starting point, as in the past. That is, the electrolyzed water spraying device 100 estimates the chloride consumption amount based on the cumulative value of the "electrified time" and the "electricity consumption (current value)" from after draining and replacing the water to 3 days later. The electrolyzed water spraying device 100 determines the input amount of the salt tablets in the same cycle based on the estimation result.

[0062] Figure 5C Represents the second operation of the electrolyzed water spraying device 100. Figure 5C Also the same as Figure 5A Similarly shows the operation summary of the electrolyzed water spraying device 100. During the period from the starting point to the 7th day, the electrolyzed water spraying device 100 calculates the electricity consumption of the electrical characteristics by accumulating the electrical characteristic values of the electrode components of the electrolysis unit 17. That is, in the second operation, the period for accumulating the electrical characteristic values is different from that in the first operation. In addition, the electrolyzed water spraying device 100 discharges the water in the water storage unit 14 during the period of 7 days after passing from the starting point, as in the past. Furthermore, at the starting point of the next cycle, if the electricity consumption of the electrical characteristics is small, the electrolyzed water spraying device 100 inserts one salt tablet. On the other hand, at the starting point of the next cycle, if the electricity consumption of the electrical characteristics is large, the electrolyzed water spraying device 100 inserts two salt tablets. That is, the electrolyzed water spraying device 100 estimates the chloride consumption amount based on the cumulative value of the "electrified time" and the "electricity consumption (current value)" from after draining and replacing the water to the end of one cycle. The electrolyzed water spraying device 100 determines the input amount of the salt tablets in the next cycle based on the estimation result. In addition, the first operation and the second operation can be combined.

[0063] Hereinafter, using Figure 4 , in the order of (1) the first operation and (2) the second operation, the processing of the electrolyzed water spraying device 100 will be described.

[0064] (1) The first operation

[0065] The energization time counting unit 200 measures the energization time starting from the said starting point, and measures the energization time of the electrode components constituting the electrolysis unit 17. The starting point can be, for example, the time when the operation button on the inner door panel 25 is pressed, or the time when the electrolysis promoting tablet input unit 18 inputs the electrolysis promoting tablet. The energization time counting unit 200 outputs the measured energization time to the control unit 30 and the accumulation unit 204.

[0066] The electrical characteristic value 202 is a voltage value or a current value. Additionally, the electrical characteristic value 202 can also be a power value. The electrical characteristic value 202 is measured by a sensor (not shown), but values corresponding to the settings of the electrolysis intensity button 122 and the air volume button 124 can also be preset.

[0067] The accumulation unit 204 calculates the electrical characteristic energization amount by accumulating the energization time and the electrical characteristic value. The accumulation unit 204 outputs the electrical characteristic energization amount to the control unit 30. The energization input storage unit 412 in the storage unit 400 stores the electrical characteristic energization amount corresponding to the input amount of the electrolysis promoting tablet. As described above, the larger the electrical characteristic energization amount, the more the input amount of the electrolysis promoting tablet. Additionally, the smaller the electrical characteristic energization amount, the less the input amount of the electrolysis promoting tablet.

[0068] The input time control unit 320 in the control unit 30 controls the input time, that is, the time for inputting the electrolysis promoting tablet into the water storage unit 14. Specifically, in the first threshold time comparison unit 322, when the energization time exceeds the first threshold, it is determined as the input time. The first threshold is set to, for example, "three days".

[0069] The input amount control unit 310 in the control unit 30 controls the input amount, that is, the amount of the electrolysis promoting tablet input into the water storage unit 14, at the time determined as the input time by the input time control unit 320. Specifically, the input amount control unit 310 refers to the energization input storage unit 412 and determines the input amount of the electrolysis promoting tablet based on the electrical characteristic energization amount calculated by the accumulation unit 204. At this time, the electrical characteristic energization amount calculated by the accumulation unit 204 is, for example, equivalent to the electrical characteristic energization amount for "three days".

[0070] When the input time control unit 320 determines the input time, it instructs the input amount control unit 310 to display the input amount of the electrolysis promoting tablet determined by the input amount control unit 310. If the input amount control unit 310 accepts the instruction from the input time control unit 320, the determined input amount of the electrolysis promoting tablet is displayed on the display unit 420. The display unit 420 is equipped on the upper panel 20, etc., and displays the input amount of the electrolysis promoting tablet. If the user confirms the input amount of the electrolysis promoting tablet displayed on the display unit 420, the user inputs the electrolysis promoting tablet corresponding to the input amount.

[0071] When the input time control unit 320 determines the input time, it can also instruct the input amount control unit 310 to input the electrolysis promoting tablets in the input amount determined by the input amount control unit 30. If the input amount control unit 310 receives the instruction from the input time control unit 320, it instructs the electrolysis promoting tablet input unit 18 to input the electrolysis promoting tablets in the determined input amount. The electrolysis promoting tablet input unit 18 inputs the electrolysis promoting tablets in the input amount indicated by the input amount control unit 310 into the water storage unit 14. In addition, the display of the input amount of the electrolysis promoting tablets in the display unit 420 and the input of the electrolysis promoting tablets by the electrolysis promoting tablet input unit 18 can also be implemented simultaneously.

[0072] (2) Second operation

[0073] The drainage input storage unit 410 of the storage unit 400 stores the amount of electrolysis promoting tablets input after drainage treatment, that is, the input amount at the time of drainage. The drainage input storage unit 410 also stores the electro-characteristic energization amount corresponding to the input amount of the electrolysis promoting tablets. The larger the electro-characteristic energization amount, the more the input amount of the electrolysis promoting tablets. In addition, the smaller the electro-characteristic energization amount, the less the input amount of the electrolysis promoting tablets.

[0074] The drainage control unit 330 of the control unit 30 controls the drainage time of the water storage unit 14. Specifically, in the second threshold time comparison unit 332, when the energization time exceeds the second threshold, it is determined as the drainage time. The second threshold is set to, for example, "seven days". The drainage control unit 330 instructs the drainage display unit 430 to display a prompt for drainage. The drainage display unit 430 is provided, for example, on the upper panel 20 or the like, and displays a prompt for draining the water storage unit 14.

[0075] At the time determined as the drainage time in the drainage control unit 330, the input amount control unit 310 controls the amount of electrolysis promoting tablets input into the water storage unit 14, that is, the input amount at the time of drainage. Specifically, the input amount control unit 310 refers to the drainage input storage unit 410 and determines the input amount of the electrolysis promoting tablets at the time of drainage according to the electro-characteristic energization amount calculated by the accumulator 204. At this time, the electro-characteristic energization amount calculated by the accumulator 204 is, for example, equivalent to the electro-characteristic energization amount of "seven days". In addition, instead of determining the input amount of the electrolysis promoting tablets at the time of drainage according to the electro-characteristic energization amount calculated by the accumulator 204, a fixed number of electrolysis promoting tablets in the input amount input at the time of drainage pre-stored in the drainage input storage unit 410 can also be input.

[0076] The drainage control unit 330 instructs the input amount control unit 310 to display the input amount of the electrolysis promoting tablets determined in the input amount control unit 310 at the time of drainage when the drainage time is determined. If the input amount control unit 310 receives the instruction from the drainage control unit 330, the determined input amount of the electrolysis promoting tablets at the time of drainage is displayed on the display unit 420. The display unit 420 displays the input amount of the electrolysis promoting tablets at the time of drainage. If the user confirms the input amount of the electrolysis promoting tablets at the time of drainage displayed on the display unit 420, the electrolysis promoting tablets corresponding to the input amount at the time of drainage are input.

[0077] The drainage control unit 330 may also, when the drainage time is determined, instruct the input amount control unit 310 to input the electrolysis promoting tablets in the input amount determined in the input amount control unit 310 at the time of drainage. If the input amount control unit 310 receives the instruction from the drainage control unit 330, it instructs the electrolysis promoting tablet input unit 18 to input the electrolysis promoting tablets in the determined input amount at the time of drainage. The electrolysis promoting tablet input unit 18 inputs the electrolysis promoting tablets in the input amount at the time of drainage instructed from the input amount control unit 310 into the water storage unit 14. In addition, the display of the input amount of the electrolysis promoting tablets at the time of drainage in the display unit 420 and the input of the electrolysis promoting tablets by the electrolysis promoting tablet input unit 18 may be implemented simultaneously.

[0079] Describe the operation of the electrolyzed water spraying device 100 with the above structure. Figure 7A and Figure 7B is a flowchart showing the control steps of the electrolyzed water spraying device 100.

[0080] In Figure 7AIn the case where the energization time is greater than the first threshold (Yes (Y) in S4), an electrolysis promoting tablet is inserted (S6). In the case where the energization time is not greater than the first threshold (No (N) in S4), the process ends.

[0081] In Figure 7B In the case where the energization time is greater than the second threshold (Yes in S10), the drainage display unit 430 performs drainage display (S12). Then, in the case where the drainage is not completed (No in S14), the process returns to step 12. In the case where the drainage is completed (Yes in S14), an electrolysis promoting tablet is inserted (S16). In the case where the energization time is not greater than the second threshold (No in S10), the process ends.

[0082] According to the present embodiment, the time for inserting the electrolysis promoting tablet into the water storage unit 14, that is, the insertion time, is controlled, and the amount of the electrolysis promoting tablet inserted into the water storage unit 14, that is, the insertion amount, is controlled. Thus, electrolysis can be stably performed regardless of the usage conditions. In addition, the energization amount of the electrical characteristics is calculated by accumulating the energization time of the electrode and the electrical characteristic values during the energization of the electrode. The insertion amount of the electrolysis promoting tablet is determined based on the calculated energization amount of the electrical characteristics. Therefore, the insertion amount of the electrolysis promoting tablet can be determined according to the usage conditions.

[0083] In addition, the electrical characteristic value is a voltage value or a current value. Therefore, the accuracy of the energization amount of the electrical characteristics can be improved.

[0084] In addition, the insertion amount corresponding thereto can be determined by the energization insertion storage unit 412 based on the energization amount of the electrical characteristics. Therefore, the process can be simplified.

[0085] In addition, the indication display unit 420 displays the insertion amount determined by the insertion amount control unit 310. Therefore, the insertion amount can be notified to the user.

[0086] In addition, the electrolysis promoting tablet insertion unit 18 is instructed to insert the electrolysis promoting tablet of the insertion amount determined by the insertion amount control unit 310 into the water storage unit 14. Therefore, the electrolysis promoting tablet of the exact insertion amount can be inserted.

[0087] In the case where the energization time exceeds the first threshold, the indication display unit 420 displays the insertion amount determined by the insertion amount control unit 310. Therefore, the electrolysis promoting tablet can be inserted at the exact time.

[0088] In addition, in the case where the energization time exceeds the first threshold, the electrolysis promoting tablet insertion unit 18 is instructed to insert the electrolysis promoting tablet of the insertion amount determined by the insertion amount control unit 310 into the water storage unit 14. Therefore, the electrolysis promoting tablet can be inserted at the exact time.

[0089] In addition, when the energization time exceeds the second threshold value, the drainage display unit 430 is instructed to display a prompt for drainage, and after the drainage process, the display unit 420 is instructed to display the input amount during drainage. Therefore, the electrolysis promoting tablets can be input at an exact time.

[0090] In addition, when the energization time exceeds the second threshold value, the drainage display unit 430 is instructed to display a prompt for drainage, and after the drainage process, the electrolysis promoting tablet input unit 18 is instructed to input the electrolysis promoting tablets into the water storage unit 14. Therefore, the electrolysis promoting tablets can be input at an exact time.

[0091] The outline of one embodiment of the present invention is as follows.

[0092] An electrolyzed water spraying device (100) according to one embodiment of the present invention includes: a water storage unit (14) for storing water; an input time control unit (320) for controlling the input time, that is, the time for inputting an electrolysis promoter into the water storage unit (14); an input amount control unit (310) for controlling the amount of the electrolysis promoter input into the water storage unit (14), that is, the input amount; and an electrolysis unit (17) for electrolyzing the water stored in the water storage unit (14) after the electrolysis promoter is input to generate electrolyzed water.

[0093] It may further include: an integration unit (204) for calculating the integrated amount of electrical characteristics by integrating the energization time of the electrodes constituting the electrolysis unit (17) and the electrical characteristic values when the electrodes are energized. The input amount control unit (310) may also determine the input amount of the electrolysis promoter according to the integrated amount of electrical characteristics calculated by the integration unit (204).

[0094] The electrical characteristic value may be a voltage value or a current value.

[0095] It may further include: an energization-input storage unit (412) for storing the integrated amount of electrical characteristics corresponding to the input amount of the electrolysis promoter. The input amount control unit (310) may also determine the input amount corresponding thereto by the energization-input storage unit (412) according to the integrated amount of electrical characteristics calculated by the integration unit (204).

[0096] It may further include a display unit (420) for displaying the input amount. The input amount control unit (310) may also instruct the display unit (420) to display the input amount determined by the input amount control unit (310).

[0097] It may further include: an electrolysis promoter input unit (18) for inputting the electrolysis promoter into the water storage unit (14). The input amount control unit (310) may also instruct the electrolysis promoter input unit (18) to input the electrolysis promoter in the input amount determined by the input amount control unit 310 into the water storage unit (14).

[0098] When the energization time of the counter electrode exceeds the first threshold, the input time control unit (320) may also instruct the display unit (420) to display the input amount determined by the input amount control unit (310).

[0099] When the energization time of the counter electrode exceeds the first threshold, the input time control unit (320) may also instruct the electrolysis promoter input unit (18) to input the electrolysis promoter with the input amount determined by the input amount control unit (310) into the water storage unit (14).

[0100] It may further include: a drainage display unit (422) that displays to urge the drainage of the water storage unit (14); a drainage input storage unit (410) that stores the amount of the electrolysis promoter input into the water storage unit (14) after the drainage treatment, i.e., the input amount during drainage; and a drainage control unit (330) that controls the drainage time, i.e., the time to drain the water accumulated in the water storage unit (14). When the energization time of the counter electrode exceeds the second threshold, the drainage control unit (330) may also instruct the drainage display unit (422) to display to urge drainage, and after the drainage treatment, instruct the display unit (420) to display the input amount during drainage stored in the drainage input storage unit (410).

[0101] It may further include: a drainage display unit (422) that displays to urge the drainage of the water storage unit (14); a drainage input storage unit (410) that stores the amount of the electrolysis promoter input into the water storage unit (14) after the drainage treatment, i.e., the input amount during drainage; and a drainage control unit (330) that controls the drainage time, i.e., the time to drain the water accumulated in the water storage unit (14). When the energization time of the counter electrode exceeds the second threshold, the drainage control unit (330) may also instruct the drainage display unit (422) to display to urge drainage, and after the drainage treatment, instruct the electrolysis promoter input unit (18) to input the electrolysis promoter with the input amount during drainage stored in the drainage input storage unit (410) into the water storage unit (14).

[0102] (Example 2)

[0103] Next, Example 2 will be described. The electrolyzed water spraying device 100A in Example 2 is the same as the electrolyzed water spraying device 100 in Example 1, and adjusts the input amount of the electrolysis promoter tablets according to the usage conditions. In the electrolyzed water spraying device 100 in Example 1, in one of the first operation and the second operation, the input amount of the electrolysis promoter tablets is determined according to the energization amount of the electrical characteristics calculated during a fixed period such as the first threshold or the second threshold. On the other hand, in the electrolyzed water spraying device 100A in Example 2, the period for calculating the energization amount of the electrical characteristics is not a fixed period, but varies according to the water supply condition to the water storage unit 14.

[0104] In addition, in the electrolyzed water spraying device 100A of Embodiment 2, for the constituent elements that are substantially the same as those included in the electrolyzed water spraying device 100 shown in Embodiment 1, the same symbols as those of the constituent elements are marked, and the description thereof is omitted or simplified.

[0105] In Figure 5A the existing electrolyzed water spraying device, as described above, starting from the time when drainage is performed on the water storage unit and the first water supply is performed, an electrolysis promoting tablet is put in. According to the operation of the electrolyzed water spraying device, if the water in the water storage unit evaporates and reaches a specified level, it is determined that there is a water shortage. If it is determined that there is a water shortage, water is supplied to the water storage unit. Here, water shortage is determined 7 times in the manner of water shortage 1 to water shortage 7. A salt tablet is put in during the period when water shortage 3 is detected. In addition, during the period when water shortage 7 is detected, the water in the water storage unit is drained. Until water shortage 7, as one cycle (period), drainage and water supply are performed, and 2 salt tablets are put in. In this situation, similar to the electrolyzed water spraying device 100 of Embodiment 1, the required number of salt tablets varies according to the setting of the electrolysis intensity and the air volume. Therefore, the electrolyzed water spraying device 100A of Embodiment 2 operates as Figure 5B and Figure 5C shown.

[0106] Figure 5B shows the first operation of the electrolyzed water spraying device 100A. The electrolyzed water spraying device 100A accumulates the electrical characteristic values after energizing the electrode components of the electrolysis unit 17 during the period from the starting point to water shortage 3, and thereby calculates the electrical characteristic power consumption. In the electrolyzed water spraying device 100A, if the electrical characteristic power consumption is small, 1 salt tablet is put in during the period when water supply is performed for water shortage 3. On the other hand, in the electrolyzed water spraying device 100A, if the electrical characteristic power consumption is large, 2 salt tablets are put in during the period when water supply is performed for water shortage 3. In addition, in the electrolyzed water spraying device 100A, during the period when water shortage 7 is detected, the water in the water storage unit 14 is drained. That is, the electrolyzed water spraying device 100 estimates the chloride ion consumption amount based on the cumulative value of the "energization time" and the "power consumption (current value)" from after draining and replacing the water to water shortage 3. The electrolyzed water spraying device 100A determines the input amount of salt tablets in the same cycle based on the estimation result.

[0107] Figure 5CRepresents the second operation of the electrolyzed water spraying device 100A. During the period from the starting point to water shortage 7, the electrolyzed water spraying device 100A accumulates the electrical characteristic values after energizing the electrode components of the electrolysis unit 17, thereby calculating the electrical characteristic power consumption. That is, in the second operation, the period for accumulating the electrical characteristic values is different from that in the first operation. In addition, in the electrolyzed water spraying device 100A, during the period when water shortage 7 is detected, the water in the water storage unit 14 is discharged. Moreover, in the electrolyzed water spraying device 100A, at the starting point of the next cycle, if the electrical characteristic power consumption is small, one salt tablet is inserted. On the other hand, in the electrolyzed water spraying device 100A, at the starting point of the next cycle, if the electrical characteristic power consumption is large, two salt tablets are inserted. That is, the electrolyzed water spraying device 100A estimates the chloride consumption based on the cumulative value of the "energization time" and the "power consumption (current value)" from after draining and replacing water to the end of one cycle. The electrolyzed water spraying device 100A determines the amount of salt tablets to be inserted in the next cycle according to the estimation result.

[0108] Next, use Figure 8 to explain the processing of the electrolyzed water spraying device 100A in the order of (1) the first operation and (2) the second operation.

[0109] Figure 8 is a functional block diagram of the electrolyzed water spraying device 100A. Compared with the functional block diagram of the electrolyzed water spraying device 100 shown in Figure 4 , the electrolyzed water spraying device 100A further includes a water amount detection unit 220 and a water shortage frequency measurement unit 222. The input time control unit 320A included in the control unit 30A includes a water shortage frequency threshold comparison unit 324. The drainage control unit 330A included in the control unit 30A includes a drainage frequency threshold comparison unit 334. In addition, the input time control unit 320A is different from the input time control unit 320 in Embodiment 1 in that it has a water shortage frequency threshold comparison unit 324 instead of the first threshold time comparison unit 322, but the other structures and operations are substantially the same as those of the input time control unit 320 in Embodiment 1. In addition, the drainage control unit 330A is different from the drainage control unit 330 in Embodiment 1 in that it has a drainage frequency threshold comparison unit 334 instead of the second threshold time comparison unit 332, but the other structures and operations are substantially the same as those of the drainage control unit 330 in Embodiment 1.

[0110] (1) The first operation

[0111] The water amount detection unit 220 is a sensor provided in the water storage unit 14 and detects the water amount in the water storage unit 14. As the water amount in the water storage unit 14, the water level in the water storage unit 14 is detected. In addition, since a known technique can be used in the water amount detection unit 220, the description is omitted here.

[0112] The water shortage frequency measurement unit 222 receives the water volume detected by the water volume detection unit 220. When the received water volume is less than the water shortage level (hereinafter also referred to as the "water shortage threshold" or "third threshold"), the water shortage frequency measurement unit 222 determines the occurrence of water shortage in the water storage unit 14. The water shortage threshold is set to the level at which the electrolysis unit 17 does not perform electrolysis normally. If it is determined that water shortage has occurred, the water supply unit 15 performs water supply to the water storage unit 14. In addition, the occurrence of water shortage is equivalent to the water shortage state (insufficient state).

[0113] The input time control unit 320A measures the number of times of the water shortage state. The input time control unit 320A (water shortage frequency threshold comparison unit 324) determines the input time of the electrolysis promoting tablet when the number of times measured by the water shortage frequency measurement unit 222 exceeds the water shortage frequency threshold. The water shortage frequency threshold is set to, for example, "three times".

[0114] The input amount control unit 310 controls the input amount of the electrolysis promoting tablet input to the water storage unit 14, that is, the input amount, at the time determined by the input time control unit 320A as the input time. Specifically, the input amount control unit 310 refers to the energization input storage unit 412 and determines the input amount of the electrolysis promoting tablet according to the energization amount of the electrical characteristics calculated by the accumulation unit 204. At this time, the energization amount of the electrical characteristics calculated by the accumulation unit 204 is, for example, equivalent to the energization amount of the electrical characteristics up to three times of water shortage.

[0115] When the input time control unit 320A determines the input time, it instructs the input amount control unit 310 to display the input amount of the electrolysis promoting tablet determined by the input amount control unit 310. On the other hand, when the input time control unit 320A determines the input time, it may also instruct the input amount control unit 310 to input the electrolysis promoting tablet with the input amount determined by the input amount control unit 310. The following processing is the same as that of the first embodiment, so the description is omitted here.

[0116] (2) Second operation

[0117] The drainage control unit 330A (drainage frequency threshold comparison unit 334) determines the drainage time when the number of times measured by the water shortage frequency measurement unit 222 exceeds the drainage frequency threshold. The drainage frequency threshold is set to, for example, "seven times". The drainage control unit 330A instructs the drainage display unit 430 to display a prompt for drainage.

[0118] The drainage display unit 430 displays a prompt for draining the water storage unit 14.

[0119] The input amount control unit 310 controls the amount of electrolysis promoting tablets input to the water storage unit 14 at the time determined by the drainage control unit 330A as the drainage time, i.e., the input amount at the time of drainage. Specifically, the input amount control unit 310 refers to the drainage input storage unit 410 and determines the input amount of the electrolysis promoting tablets at the time of drainage based on the electro-characteristic power consumption calculated by the accumulation unit 204. At this time, the electro-characteristic power consumption calculated by the accumulation unit 204 is, for example, equivalent to the electro-characteristic power consumption up to 7 times of water shortage. Here, instead of determining the input amount of the electrolysis promoting tablets at the time of drainage based on the electro-characteristic power consumption calculated by the accumulation unit 204, a fixed number of electrolysis promoting tablets with the input amount at the time of drainage stored in advance in the drainage input storage unit 410 can also be input.

[0120] When the drainage control unit 330A determines the drainage time, it instructs the input amount control unit 310 to display the input amount of the electrolysis promoting tablets determined by the input amount control unit 310 at the time of drainage. On the other hand, when the drainage control unit 330A determines the drainage time, it can also instruct the input amount control unit 310 to input the electrolysis promoting tablets with the input amount at the time of drainage determined by the input amount control unit 310. The following processing is the same as that in the first embodiment, so the description is omitted here.

[0121] Describe the operation of the electrolyzed water spraying device 100A with the above structure. Figure 9A and Figure 9B is a flowchart showing the control steps of the electrolyzed water spraying device 100.

[0122] In Figure 9A , when the number of water shortage times is greater than the water shortage times threshold (Yes in S30), electrolysis promoting tablets are input (S32). When the number of water shortage times is not greater than the water shortage times threshold (No in S30), the process ends.

[0123] In Figure 9B , when the number of water shortage times is greater than the drainage times threshold (Yes in S50), the drainage display unit 430 performs drainage display (S52). Then, when the drainage is not completed (No in S54), the process returns to step 52. When the drainage is completed (Yes in S54), electrolysis promoting tablets are input (S56). When the number of water shortage times is not greater than the drainage times threshold (No in S50), the process ends.

[0124] According to this embodiment, when the number of times of the water shortage state exceeds the water shortage times threshold, the display unit 420 is instructed to display the input amount determined by the input amount control unit 310. Therefore, the electrolysis promoting tablets can be input at the exact time.

[0125] In addition, when the number of times of the insufficient water volume state exceeds the insufficient water volume number threshold, the electrolysis promotion tablet input unit 18 is instructed to input the electrolysis promoter with the input volume determined by the input volume control unit 310 into the water storage unit 14. Therefore, the electrolysis promotion tablet can be input at the exact time.

[0126] In addition, when the number of times of the insufficient water volume state exceeds the drainage number threshold, the display unit 420 is instructed to perform a display prompting drainage, and display the input volume when draining after the drainage process. Therefore, the electrolysis promotion tablet can be input at the exact time.

[0127] In addition, when the number of times of the insufficient water volume state exceeds the drainage number threshold, the electrolysis promotion tablet input unit 18 is instructed to perform a display prompting drainage, and input the electrolysis promoter into the water storage unit 14 after the drainage process, so that the electrolysis promotion tablet can be input at the exact time.

[0128] The summary of one embodiment of the present invention is as follows.

[0129] It may further include: a water volume detection unit (220) that detects the water volume in the water storage unit (14); and a water volume shortage number measurement unit (222) that measures the number of times of the insufficient water volume state in which the water volume detected by the water volume detection unit (220) reaches less than the third threshold (water shortage threshold). When the number measured by the water volume shortage number measurement unit (222) exceeds the fourth threshold (insufficient water volume number threshold), the input time control unit (320A) may also instruct the display unit (420) to display the determined input volume.

[0130] It may further include: a water volume detection unit (220) that detects the water volume in the water storage unit (14); and a water volume shortage number measurement unit (222) that measures the number of times of the insufficient water volume state in which the water volume detected by the water volume detection unit (220) reaches less than the third threshold (water shortage threshold). When the number measured by the water volume shortage number measurement unit (222) exceeds the fourth threshold (insufficient water volume number threshold), the input time control unit (320A) may also instruct the electrolysis promoter input unit (18) to input the electrolysis promoter with the determined input volume into the water storage unit (14).

[0131] It may further include: a drainage display unit (422) that displays to prompt drainage of the water storage unit (14); a drainage input storage unit (410) that stores the amount of the electrolysis accelerator to be input into the water storage unit (14) after drainage treatment, i.e., the input amount during drainage; and a drainage control unit (330A) that controls the time for draining the water accumulated in the water storage unit (14), i.e., the drainage time. When the number of times measured by the water shortage number measurement unit (222) exceeds the fifth threshold (drainage number threshold), the drainage control unit (330A) may also instruct the drainage display unit (422) to display to prompt drainage, and after drainage treatment, instruct the display unit (420) to display the input amount during drainage stored in the drainage input storage unit (410).

[0132] It may further include: a drainage display unit (422) that displays to prompt drainage of the water storage unit (14); a drainage input storage unit (410) that stores the amount of the electrolysis accelerator to be input into the water storage unit (14) after drainage treatment, i.e., the input amount during drainage; and a drainage control unit (330A) that controls the time for draining the water accumulated in the water storage unit (14), i.e., the drainage time. When the number of times measured by the water shortage number measurement unit (222) exceeds the fifth threshold (drainage number threshold), the drainage control unit (330A) may also instruct the drainage display unit (422) to display to prompt drainage, and after drainage treatment, instruct the electrolysis accelerator input unit (18) to input the electrolysis accelerator with the input amount during drainage stored in the drainage input storage unit (410) into the water storage unit (14).

[0133] (Example 3)

[0134] Next, Example 3 will be described. The electrolyzed water spraying device 100B of Example 3, like the electrolyzed water spraying device 100 of Example 1, adjusts the input amount of the electrolysis accelerator tablets according to the usage conditions. In the electrolyzed water spraying device 100 of Example 1, in one of the first operation and the second operation, the input amount of the electrolysis accelerator tablets is determined according to the energization amount of the electrical characteristics calculated during a fixed period such as the first threshold or the second threshold. On the other hand, in the electrolyzed water spraying device 100A of Example 2, the period for calculating the energization amount of the electrical characteristics is not a fixed period but varies according to the water supply condition to the water storage unit 14. The electrolyzed water spraying device 100B of Example 3 is equivalent to the combination of the electrolyzed water spraying device 100 of Example 1 and the electrolyzed water spraying device 100A of Example 2.

[0135] In addition, in the electrolyzed water spraying device 100B of Example 3, for the constituent elements that are substantially the same as those included in the electrolyzed water spraying device 100 shown in Example 1 or the electrolyzed water spraying device 100A shown in Example 2, the same symbols as those of the constituent elements are marked, and the description thereof is omitted or simplified.

[0136] In Figure 5B In the electrolyzed water spraying device 100B, when the earlier of the time when water shortage 3 is detected and the time 3 days after the start point arrives, a salt tablet is inserted. At this time, when the time when water shortage 3 is detected arrives earlier, the electrolyzed water spraying device 100B accumulates the electrical characteristic values from the start point to the time of water shortage 3, and thereby calculates the electrical characteristic power consumption. In addition, when the time 3 days after the start point arrives earlier, the electrolyzed water spraying device 100B accumulates the electrical characteristic values for 3 days from the start point, and thereby calculates the electrical characteristic power consumption.

[0137] In Figure 5C In the electrolyzed water spraying device 100B, when the earlier of the time when water shortage 7 is detected and the time 7 days after the start point arrives, the water in the water storage unit 14 is drained. At this time, when the time when water shortage 7 is detected arrives earlier, the electrolyzed water spraying device 100B accumulates the electrical characteristic values from the start point to the time of water shortage 7, and thereby calculates the electrical characteristic power consumption. In addition, when the time 7 days after the start point arrives earlier, the electrolyzed water spraying device 100B accumulates the electrical characteristic values for 7 days from the start point, and thereby calculates the electrical characteristic power consumption.

[0138] Next, using Figure 10 , the processing of the electrolyzed water spraying device 100B will be described in the order of (1) the first operation and (2) the second operation.

[0139] Figure 10 is a functional block diagram of the electrolyzed water spraying device 100B. The electrolyzed water spraying device 100B is equivalent to a structure combining Figure 4 and Figure 8 . In addition, the input time control unit 320B of the control unit 30B is different from the input time control unit 320 of the first embodiment or the input time control unit 320A of the second embodiment in that it includes both the first threshold time comparison unit 322 and the water shortage frequency threshold comparison unit 324, and the other structures and operations are substantially the same as those of the input time control unit 320 of the first embodiment or the input time control unit 320A of the second embodiment. In addition, the drainage control unit 330B of the control unit 30B is different from the drainage control unit 330 of the first embodiment or the drainage control unit 330A of the second embodiment in that it includes both the second threshold time comparison unit 332 and the drainage frequency threshold comparison unit 334, but the other structures and operations are substantially the same as those of the drainage control unit 330 of the first embodiment or the drainage control unit 330A of the second embodiment.

[0140] (1) The first operation

[0141] For the earlier one of the time when the energization time exceeds the first threshold in the first threshold time comparison unit 322 and the time when the number of times exceeds the insufficient water amount threshold number in the insufficient water amount number threshold comparison unit 324, the input time control unit 320B determines it as the input time. The subsequent processing is the same as that in the first embodiment or the second embodiment, so the description thereof is omitted here.

[0142] (2) Second operation

[0143] For the earlier one of the time when the energization time exceeds the second threshold in the second threshold time comparison unit 332 and the time when the number of times exceeds the drainage number threshold in the drainage number threshold comparison unit 334, the drainage control unit 330B determines it as the drainage time. The subsequent processing is the same as that in the first embodiment or the second embodiment, so the description thereof is omitted here.

[0144] According to this embodiment, at the relatively earlier time of the time when the energization time exceeds the first threshold and the time when the number of insufficient water states exceeds the insufficient water amount threshold number, the indication display unit 420 displays the determined input amount. Therefore, the electrolysis promoting tablets can be input at the exact time.

[0145] In addition, at the relatively earlier time of the time when the energization time exceeds the first threshold and the time when the number of insufficient water states exceeds the insufficient water amount threshold number, the electrolysis promoting tablet input unit 18 is instructed to input the determined input amount of the electrolysis promoter into the water storage unit 14. Therefore, the electrolysis promoting tablets can be input at the exact time.

[0146] In addition, at the relatively earlier time of the time when the energization time exceeds the second threshold and the time when the number of insufficient water states exceeds the drainage number threshold, an indication for urging drainage is displayed, and after the drainage process, the indication display unit 420 displays the input amount at the time of drainage. Therefore, the electrolysis promoting tablets can be input at the exact time.

[0147] In addition, at the relatively earlier time of the time when the energization time exceeds the second threshold and the time when the number of insufficient water states exceeds the drainage number threshold, an indication for urging drainage is displayed, and after the drainage process, the electrolysis promoting tablet input unit 18 is instructed to input the electrolysis promoter into the water storage unit 14. Therefore, the electrolysis promoting tablets can be input at the exact time.

[0148] The outline of one aspect of the present invention is as follows.

[0149] It may further include: a water volume detection unit (220) that detects the water volume in the water storage unit (14); and a water shortage occurrence count measurement unit (222) that measures the number of times the water volume detected by the water volume detection unit (220) reaches a water shortage state where it is lower than the 6th threshold (water shortage threshold). At the relatively earlier time among the time when the energization time of the electrode exceeds the 7th threshold (the 1st threshold) and the time when the number of times measured by the water shortage occurrence count measurement unit (222) exceeds the 8th threshold (water shortage occurrence count threshold), the input time control unit (320) may also instruct the display unit (420) to display the determined input amount.

[0150] It may further include: a water volume detection unit (220) that detects the water volume in the water storage unit (14); and a water shortage occurrence count measurement unit (222) that measures the number of times the water volume detected by the water volume detection unit (220) reaches a water shortage state where it is lower than the 6th threshold (water shortage threshold). At the relatively earlier time among the time when the energization time of the electrode exceeds the 7th threshold (the 1st threshold) and the time when the number of times measured by the water shortage occurrence count measurement unit (222) exceeds the 8th threshold (water shortage occurrence count threshold), the input time control unit (320) may also instruct the electrolysis promoter input unit (18) to input the determined amount of electrolysis promoter into the water storage unit (14).

[0151] It may further include: a drainage display unit (422) that displays to prompt drainage of the water storage unit (14); a drainage input storage unit (410) that stores the amount of electrolysis promoter input into the water storage unit (14) after drainage treatment, i.e., the input amount during drainage; and a drainage control unit (330) that controls the drainage time, i.e., the time to drain the water accumulated in the water storage unit (14). At the relatively earlier time among the time when the energization time of the electrode exceeds the 9th threshold (the 2nd threshold) and the time when the number of times measured by the water shortage occurrence count measurement unit (222) exceeds the 10th threshold (drainage occurrence count threshold), the drainage control unit (330) may also instruct the drainage display unit (422) to display to prompt drainage, and after drainage treatment, instruct the display unit (420) to display the input amount during drainage stored in the drainage input storage unit (410).

[0152] It may further include: a drainage display unit (422) that displays to prompt drainage of the water storage unit (14); a drainage input storage unit (410) that stores the amount of the electrolysis accelerator to be input into the water storage unit (14) after drainage treatment, i.e., the input amount during drainage; and a drainage control unit (330) that controls the time for draining the water accumulated in the water storage unit (14), i.e., the drainage time. At the relatively earlier time among the time when the energization time of the electrode exceeds the ninth threshold (the second threshold) and the time when the number of times measured by the water shortage number measurement unit (222) exceeds the tenth threshold (the drainage number threshold), the drainage control unit (330) may also instruct the drainage display unit (422) to display to prompt drainage, and after drainage treatment, instruct the electrolysis accelerator input unit (18) to input the electrolysis accelerator with the input amount during drainage stored in the drainage input storage unit (410) into the water storage unit (14).

[0153] The present invention has been described based on Embodiments 1 to 3 above. Those skilled in the art should understand as follows. These embodiments are exemplary, and various deformations can be made to the combination of their respective constituent elements or respective processing procedures, and these deformation examples are also within the scope of the present invention.

[0154] In Embodiments 1 to 3, electrolysis accelerator tablets are input. However, it is not limited thereto. For example, a non-tablet electrolysis accelerator may also be input. According to this modification example, the degree of freedom of the structure can be improved.

[0155] In Embodiments 1 to 3, the first threshold is 3 days, the second threshold is 7 days, the water shortage number threshold is 3 times, and the drainage number threshold is 7 times. However, it is not limited thereto. For example, as long as the first threshold < the second threshold and the water shortage number threshold < the drainage number threshold, these thresholds may also be other values. According to this modification example, the degree of freedom of the structure can be improved.

[0156] In addition, in Embodiments 1 to 3, the electrolysis accelerator tablet input unit 18 may further include: an input detection unit (not shown) that detects the input of the electrolysis accelerator by the electrolysis accelerator tablet input unit 18. The input detection unit may further include a counting unit (not shown) that counts the detection times of the input detection unit as the input amount of the electrolysis accelerator. The counting unit may also send the input amount of the electrolysis accelerator, which is the detection times of the input detection unit, to the input amount control unit 310.

[0157] Here, an example of the input detection unit will be described. The input detection unit includes a light-emitting element and a light-receiving element. The light-emitting element is a light-emitting diode that outputs light. The light-receiving element is a photodiode that is disposed in a direction opposite to the light-emitting element for receiving the light output from the light-emitting element and converting it into an electrical signal according to the intensity of the light. The light-emitting element and the light-receiving element are disposed midway between the drop opening on the bottom surface of the tablet input cassette 18a and the water storage unit 14, and are arranged in pairs so as to sandwich the passage through which the electrolysis promoting tablet passes.

[0158] If an electrolysis promoting tablet is added between the light-emitting element and the light-receiving element and blocks the path of the light output from the light-emitting element, the intensity of the light received by the light-receiving element decreases. The input detection unit can detect that the electrolysis promoting tablet input unit 18 has input an electrolysis promoting tablet based on the change in the intensity of the light received by the light-receiving element.

[0159] The input amount control unit 310 compares the input amount of the electrolysis promoter counted by the counting unit with the input amount determined by the input amount control unit 310. When the input amount of the electrolysis promoter counted by the counting unit is less than the input amount determined by the input amount control unit 310, the input amount control unit 310 instructs the electrolysis promoter input unit 18 to make the input amount counted by the counting unit satisfy the input amount determined by the input amount control unit 310. That is, the input amount control unit 310 instructs the electrolysis promoter input unit 18 to input an electrolysis promoter corresponding to the difference between the input amount determined by the input amount control unit 310 and the input amount of the electrolysis promoter counted by the counting unit.

[0160] Thus, the input amount determined by the input amount control unit 310 can be input into the water storage unit 14.

It further includes an electrolysis promoter input unit for inputting the electrolysis promoter into the water storage unit. The input amount control unit instructs the electrolysis promoter input unit to input the electrolysis promoter in the input amount determined by the input amount control unit into the water storage unit. It further includes: An input detection unit for detecting the input of the electrolysis promoter performed by the electrolysis promoter input unit; And A counting unit for counting the number of detections of the input detection unit as the input amount of the electrolysis promoter. When the input amount counted by the counting unit does not meet the input amount determined by the input amount control unit, the input amount control unit instructs the electrolysis promoter input unit to input the electrolysis promoter equivalent to the difference between the input amount determined by the input amount control unit and the input amount counted by the counting unit, so that the input amount counted by the counting unit meets the input amount determined by the input amount control unit.
