[0002] A metal ion generator is a device that can change the ionic state of water flow. It is widely used in water treatment in many fields, such as daily water use, medical and sanitary disinfection water use, and industrial and scientific water use.

[0003] In existing technologies, the most common type of metal ion generator is the wall-mounted type, which is fixed to a wall. Generally, this type of generator has an ion generating mechanism installed inside to change the ion situation inside the water. For example, Chinese utility model patent with authorization announcement number CN220788203U discloses a metal ion generating device. This metal ion generating device requires electricity to be used, and the power supply to the device must be manually controlled. That is, the user must turn on the generator when in use and turn it off when not in use. If the user forgets to turn off the generator, it will continue to consume electricity, resulting in waste of resources. Moreover, continuous power supply will cause the ion generating mechanism to be under working pressure for a long time, accelerating aging or overheating damage. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main purpose of this utility model is to provide an automatic start-stop metal ion generator, which can effectively solve the problems in the background art. The automatic start-stop metal ion generator is equipped with a water flow switch. When water flows through, it will automatically start and then electrolyze to produce ionized water. When no water flows through, it will automatically shut off and stop working.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows: An automatic start / stop metal ion generator includes: case; The main body is located inside the shell and includes a reaction chamber, an inlet pipe, and an outlet pipe, both of which are connected to the reaction chamber.

[0020] like Figure 1-7 As shown, the automatic on / off metal ion generator of one or more preferred embodiments of this application will be disclosed and described in the following description.

[0021] An automatic metal ion generator includes a housing 1, a main body 2, a main control board 3, a power supply unit 4, an ion generating mechanism 5, and a water flow switch. Specifically, the main body 2 is located inside the housing 1 and includes a reaction chamber 201, an inlet pipe 202, and an outlet pipe 203. The inlet pipe 202 and the outlet pipe 203 are respectively connected to the lower sides of the reaction chamber 201 and are both in communication with the reaction chamber 201. The main control board 3 is located inside the housing 1, the power supply unit 4 is located on the housing 1, the ion generating mechanism 5 is located on the reaction chamber 201, and the water flow switch is used to control the opening and closing of the device. The water flow switch includes a piston 601, a first magnet 602, and a reed switch 603. The piston 601 is located inside the outlet pipe 203 and is positioned near the end of the reaction chamber 201. It can move within the water outlet pipe 203. The first magnet 602 is located inside the piston 601 and can move with the piston 601. The reed switch 603 is located on the main control board 3 and is used to sense the position of the first magnet 602. When the first magnet 602 enters the sensing area of ​​the reed switch 603 (0-8mm upward from the center of the reed switch 603 and 0-8mm downward from the center of the reed switch 603), the reed switch 603 transmits a signal to the main control board 3. The main control board 3 controls the power supply unit 4 to supply power to the ion generating mechanism 5, thereby electrolyzing the water in the reaction chamber 201 to generate the required metal ions.

[0022] In this embodiment, the inlet pipe 202 and the outlet pipe 203 can be connected to external pipelines via threads.

[0023] In this embodiment, the sensing area of ​​the reed switch 603 is located on the path of the first magnet 602. When the first magnet 602 enters the sensing area of ​​the reed switch 603, the resistance or output voltage of the reed switch 603 will change with the magnetic field strength. The main control board 3 controls the circuit to turn on and off through the signal of the reed switch 603. When the reed switch 603 exceeds the threshold, the drive circuit is turned on to start the ion generating mechanism 5.

[0024] In this embodiment, the water outlet pipe 203 is provided with an installation groove 2032, and the main control board 3 is installed in the installation groove 2032 by screws. The installation groove 2032 is opposite to the movement path of the first magnet 602, ensuring that the reed switch 603 can effectively sense the first magnet 602.

[0025] In this embodiment, the reed switch 603 is located on the inner surface of the main control board 3 (on the surface closer to the first magnet 602), which can enhance the sensing capability.

[0026] In this embodiment, the ion generating mechanism 5 includes a support frame 501 and two metal parts 502. The support frame 501 is detachably mounted on the reaction chamber 201. The two metal parts 502 are mounted on the support frame 501 and extend from the support frame 501 into the reaction chamber 201 to electrolyze the water in the reaction chamber 201. The two metal parts 502 are electrically connected to the main control board 3.

[0027] In this embodiment, the metal part 502 is a silver sheet or a copper sheet, which can be electrolyzed to generate silver ion or copper ion water.

[0028] In this embodiment, the support frame 501 is provided with external threads, and the top of the reaction chamber 201 is provided with internal threads. The support frame 501 is connected to the top of the reaction chamber 201 through the cooperation of the internal and external threads.

[0029] In this embodiment, the piston 601 is bullet-shaped, with the lower half of the piston 601 having a larger diameter than the upper half. The lower half of the piston 601 is not tightly fitted to the inner wall of the water outlet pipe 203, meaning there is a gap between the piston 601 and the inner wall of the water outlet pipe 203. Thus, when the piston 601 moves downward, the water outlet pipe 203 opens, and water can flow out from the gap between the piston 601 and the water outlet pipe 203.

[0030] The automatic start-stop metal ion generator also includes a reset mechanism. The reset mechanism includes a second magnet 701, which is located inside the water outlet pipe 203 and below the first magnet 602. The second magnet 701 and the first magnet 602 are arranged opposite each other, and the opposite end faces of the first magnet 602 and the second magnet 701 have the same pole. The second magnet 701 and the first magnet 602 generate a repulsive force, which can push the first magnet 602 back, so that the first magnet 602 leaves the sensing range of the reed switch 603, thereby disconnecting the circuit and stopping the ion generator 5 from working.

[0031] In this embodiment, a bracket 2031 is provided inside the water outlet pipe 203. The bracket 2031 is tightly fitted to the inner wall of the water outlet pipe 203. The second magnet 701 is provided on the bracket 2031. The bracket 2031 is a combined bracket, that is, it is composed of two support frame components snapped together. At the same time, through holes are opened on the periphery of the bracket 2031 to facilitate the flow of water.

[0032] It is worth mentioning that the first magnet 602 is hidden in the piston 601 and fixed by an interference fit, and the second magnet 701 is hidden in the bracket 2031 and fixed by an interference fit.

[0033] In this embodiment, the reset mechanism also includes an elastic element 702, which is disposed between the piston 601 and the bracket 2031. When the repulsive force is insufficient, the elastic element 702 can play an auxiliary role in returning to its original position. That is, when the repulsive force between the first magnet 602 and the second magnet 701 is insufficient, the elastic element 702 can also make the piston 601 move upward to reset, playing a double return and safety role.

[0034] In this embodiment, the elastic element 702 is a metal spring. One end of the spring is attracted by the first magnet 602, and the other end is attracted by the second magnet 701, which is sleeved on the bracket 2031. When the piston 601 moves down, the spring is compressed and stores elastic potential energy. When the piston 601 loses water pressure, the spring can reset and convert the stored elastic potential energy into kinetic energy, lifting the piston 601 and the first magnet 602 back to their original positions.

[0035] It is worth mentioning that when subjected to water pressure, the piston 601 and the first magnet 602 can remain stable under the combined action of the second magnet 701 and the elastic element 702. That is, the water pressure, repulsive force, and elastic potential energy can remain stable within a certain range, so that the piston 601 and the first magnet 602 are always within the sensing range of the reed switch 603, ensuring that the circuit is always connected.

[0036] In this embodiment, the water outlet pipe 203 is provided with a first limiting part 2033 and a second limiting part 2034. The piston 601 is limited by the first limiting part 2033, and the bracket 2031 is limited by the second limiting part 2034. The design of the first limiting part 2033 and the second limiting part 2034 changes the diameter inside the water outlet pipe 203, thereby allowing the piston 601 and the bracket 2031 to be respectively engaged at the first limiting part 2033 and the second limiting part 2034, that is, restricting the upward movement of the piston 601 and the bracket 2031, preventing the piston 601 and the bracket 2031 from moving further upward.

[0037] In this embodiment, the power supply unit 4 includes an energy chamber 401 and a battery 402. The energy chamber 401 is fixed to the bottom of the main body 2 by snap-fit ​​and screws. The battery 402 is located inside the energy chamber 401. The energy chamber 401 is provided with a connector that is electrically connected to the main board. The battery 402 can provide power for the device to work.

[0038] In this embodiment, the battery 402 is a dry cell battery 402, and the connector is a dry cell battery 402 connector.

[0039] This device is connected to a water supply line. When the water supply line is supplying water, the water flows from the inlet pipe into the reaction chamber 201, and then flows from the reaction chamber 201 into the outlet pipe 203. When the water flows into the outlet pipe 203, it first impacts the piston 601. The piston 601 and the first magnet 602 move downwards under force in the outlet pipe 203, compressing the elastic element 702 and opening the outlet pipe 203. When the first magnet 602 descends into the sensing area of ​​the reed switch 603, the reed switch 603 detects a magnetic signal. When the reed switch 603 exceeds the threshold... When the circuit is active, the ion generator 5 electrolyzes to produce metal ions. When the water supply stops, the piston 601 and the first magnet 602 move upward under the action of the second magnet 701 and the elastic element 702. When the first magnet 602 rises outside the sensing area of ​​the reed switch 603, the reed switch 603 can no longer detect the magnetic signal, and the circuit is disconnected. This eliminates the need for the user to manually turn the device on or off, reducing the inconvenience of operation for the user, preventing resource waste, and extending the service life of the ion generator 5.
