DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0020] 1 to 12 show an embodiment of the liquid activation device of the present invention, which will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings of the embodiment.
[0021] Figure 1A shows liquid activation means A of the liquid activation device according to the present invention, a plan view of processed nut 1 enclosed in a hexagonal column 5, and Figure 1B shows a front view of processed nut 1. Processed nut 1 is a regular hexagonal column with a through hole 2 in the center and a spiral groove 3 engraved around it, with the appropriate size being a side length of 4 mm to 10 mm. A versatile size of 6 mm is particularly suitable.
[0022] The spiral groove 3 engraved on the inner surface of the circular through hole 2 in the center of the processed nut 1 has no limit on the number of turns of the groove as long as it is at least one, no limit on the depth of the groove, and no particular limit on the shape of the thread. From an economical standpoint, a versatile triangular thread is sufficient.
[0023] The material of the processed nut 1 is SUS304, an austenitic stainless steel, and is heat-treated. In order to increase the liquid activation ability, the heating temperature is preferably 800°C to 1200°C, the processing time is preferably 2 minutes to 60 minutes, and then the nut is allowed to cool naturally.
[0024] In Fig. 2, the processed nuts 1 are arranged such that the central axes 4 of the processed nuts 1 are parallel to one another. Fig. 2 shows a group 1b of processed nuts in which a plurality of the processed nuts 1 are arranged in parallel on a plane, but the liquid activation ability can be further increased by stacking them vertically in multiple layers rather than just arranging them in parallel.
[0025] Furthermore, although there are no restrictions on arranging multiple processed nuts 1 in parallel and then vertically with nuts of different sizes, when the flow of liquid is taken into consideration, arranging processed nuts 1 of the same size in line with the central axis 4 of the processed nuts increases the flow rate of liquid and is more efficient.
[0026] In Figure 2, seven processed nuts 1 are lined up in parallel to form a hexagon, but if the number of processed nuts 1 is increased further outward without leaving any gaps around the periphery, the number of processed nuts 1 can be increased sequentially to 19, 37, 61, and so on, while increasing the outer periphery to form a regular hexagon. It is also possible to increase the number of processed nuts 1 by lining up three nuts to form a triangle, but a hexagon is a better shape.
[0027] In Figure 3, the processed nuts 1 are arranged in the processed nut-encased hexagonal column 5 so that the outer edge is hexagonal in plan view, as shown in Figure 2, and the hexagonal shapes are also stacked vertically to increase the number of layers until the hexagonal column is filled to capacity. The processed nuts 1 are enclosed and the opening is sealed with a processed nut-encased hexagonal column perforated lid 6 as a means for allowing liquid to flow in and out. The processed nut-encased hexagonal column 5 can be made of metal, wood, synthetic resin, or other materials, but the stainless steel SUS304 is ideal because it is rust-resistant, easy to process, and inexpensive.
[0028] FIG. 4A is a diagram showing the processed nut-encased hexagonal columns 5, the openings of which are sealed with the processed nut-encased hexagonal column perforated lids 6, lined up one above the other.
[0029] FIG. 4B is a diagram showing the processed nut-encased hexagonal columns 5 arranged in parallel, with the openings sealed with the processed nut-encased hexagonal column perforated lids 6.
[0030] Figure 4C shows a configuration in which the processed nut-encapsulated hexagonal columns 5, whose openings are sealed with the processed nut-encapsulated hexagonal column perforated lids 6, are arranged in parallel and vertically, and any number of these can be used to configure the required size.
[0031] Figure 5 shows a liquid activation device in which a liquid is introduced through one opening, activated by a liquid activation means A installed inside the device, and then the treated liquid is discharged from the other opening. The liquid activation means A is composed of at least one processed nut-enclosing hexagonal pillar 5, which contains multiple processed nut groups 1b stacked one on top of the other in multiple tiers. The processed nuts 1 are made of heat-treated stainless steel and have a regular hexagonal pillar-shaped hole that penetrates the top and bottom and has a spiral groove on the inner surface. The processed nuts are arranged with their sides adjacent to each other so that their central axes 4 are parallel to each other. The outer surface of the processed nut-enclosing hexagonal pillar 5, which constitutes the liquid activation means A, is covered with a synthetic resin that is mixed with ore, metal, or pottery and hardened to form an irregular cylindrical or hexagonal pillar shape with a bulge in the center when viewed from the front. This is a diagram of a formed object 7.
[0032] The outer peripheral surface of the processed nut-enclosed hexagonal pillar 5, excluding the opening, which serves as the liquid activation means B, is formed from a material that can be mixed with minerals, metals, and ceramics and hardened. The minerals include quartz crystal 10, jadeite 11, amethyst 12, and terahertz 13, the metals include gold 16 and copper 15, and the ceramics include pottery 14. Any other gemstone, metal, or ceramic can also be mixed in. Materials that can be mixed with materials and hardened to form the shape include clay, silicone, and synthetic resin, which harden when left standing. However, a synthetic resin-covered object 7 is optimal for its resistance to liquids, durability, and strength.
[0033] For the ores quartz 10, jade 11, amethyst 12, terahertz 13, and pottery 14, the grain size should be between 2mm and 10mm, and they should be evenly spaced at intervals of 5mm to 20mm. For the metal copper 15, copper wire or gold 16, gold leaf should be mixed into the points.
[0034] Figure 6 shows a liquid inlet formed by a hexagonal funnel 20 for inflowing liquid into one opening at the top, a liquid outlet at the lower opening for discharging the activated liquid into the external liquid storage container 25, and the processed nut-enclosed hexagonal column 5 connected and stored approximately vertically between the lower end of the liquid inlet and the upper end of the liquid outlet, configured to activate the liquid that has flowed in from the liquid inlet.The lower liquid outlet has a cylindrical insertion port 22 with a diameter slightly smaller than the storage container inlet 24, and a cylindrical insertion guide 23 with a diameter slightly larger than the storage container inlet 24 and an approximately cross-shaped air vent plate attached to its outside to make it easier for the liquid to flow into the container and less likely to leak.
[0035] Furthermore, the lower liquid outflow section has a gap formed in the inner and outer double structure of the small-diameter cylindrical insertion port 22 and the large-diameter cylindrical insertion guide 23 which functions as a guide, and above this gap is attached a roughly cross-shaped air vent plate 21 made of a 4 mm thick stainless steel plate or the like to create a gap excluding the small-diameter cylindrical insertion port 22 portion in order to vent air from the storage container 25 when liquid flows in from the storage container inlet 24 of the storage container 25. From the upper funnel 20 to the machined nut-enclosed hexagonal column 5 to the lower insertion port 22 and insertion guide 23, the rust-resistant, easy-to-machine, and inexpensive stainless steel SUS304 is optimal.
[0036] FIG. 7 shows a liquid activation device in which a liquid is introduced from one opening, activated by the liquid activation means A provided inside the device, and then the treated liquid is discharged from the other opening. The liquid activation means A is composed of at least one or more processed nut-enclosing hexagonal pillars 5 that enclose processed nut groups 1b, each of which is made of a plurality of heat-treated stainless steel processed nuts 1 and arranged with its side surfaces adjacent to each other so that the processed nut central axes 4 are parallel to each other, stacked up and down in multiple stages. The processed nut-enclosing hexagonal pillars 5 that constitute the liquid activation means A are provided at the upper and lower ends with liquid inlet portions formed with funnels 20 for introducing liquid into the liquid activation means A and outlet portions for the liquid activated by the liquid activation means A. The liquid activation means A is connected to a liquid outlet section for discharging the liquid into an external liquid storage container 25, and the liquid outlet section has a double inner and outer structure with the cylindrical insertion port 22 having a diameter slightly smaller than the storage container inlet 24 and the cylindrical insertion guide 23 having a diameter slightly larger than the storage container inlet 24 on its outside, which functions as a guide to the storage container inlet 24.Furthermore, the outer peripheral surface of the processed nut-enclosed hexagonal column 5 that constitutes the liquid activation means A, as well as the outer peripheral surfaces of the liquid inlet section and the liquid outlet section, are covered with a synthetic resin that is mixed with ore, metal, and baked goods and is integrally hardened and formed into an irregular cylindrical or hexagonal column shape with a bulge in the center when viewed from the front, as a further liquid activation means B.
[0037] The minerals mixed in the outer peripheral surface of the liquid activation means B in FIG. 7 are quartz crystal 10, jadeite 11, amethyst 12, and terahertz 13, the metals are copper 15 and gold 16, and the ceramics are pottery 14.
[0038] For the ores quartz 10, jade 11, amethyst 12, terahertz 13, and pottery 14, the grain size should be between 2mm and 10mm, and they should be evenly spaced at intervals of 5mm to 20mm. For the metal copper 15, copper wire or gold 16, gold leaf should be mixed into the points.
[0039] Figure 8 is a diagram showing the state in which the insertion port 22 of the liquid activation device of Figure 7 is inserted into the storage container inlet 24 of the storage container 25, which is a glass bottle or a plastic bottle. By inserting and placing the liquid activation device on the storage container 25, the liquid can be poured stably without leaking from the storage container inlet 24, which is narrow and difficult to pour into. In addition, it is possible to pour the liquid into various containers with wide spouts by holding it in your hand.
[0040] Figure 9 shows an example of water activated using the liquid activation device of the present invention. Commercially available natural spring water was passed through the device. A thermograph using a Sanwa Supply Co., Ltd. model number CHE-TG240 was used to measure the body temperature of the backs of the left and right hands before and 10 minutes after drinking. (No. 1 in the upper left of the figure) This is a photograph of the backs of the hands of a 73-year-old woman, Ms. AY, after drinking 200cc of water after exercise on March 28, 2024. Ten minutes after drinking, the temperature was approximately 1°C warmer. (No. 2 in the upper right of the figure) This is a photograph of the backs of the hands of a 60-year-old woman, Ms. HM, after drinking 350cc of water on March 29, 2024. Her hands were relatively warm immediately after manual work, and even warmer 10 minutes after drinking. (No. 3 in the lower left of the figure) This is a photograph of the backs of the hands of a 77-year-old woman, Ms. TA, after drinking 300cc of water on March 30, 2024. Ten minutes after drinking, the temperature of the thumb on the left hand rose slightly, revealing an increased red area, while the temperature change was minimal on the right hand, which had undergone fracture surgery. Figure 4 in the upper right is a photograph of the backs of the hands of a 72-year-old man named Mr. SY who drank 200cc on March 30, 2024, and shows that the temperature had clearly risen 10 minutes after drinking.
[0041] Figure 10 shows an example of water activated using the liquid activation device of the present invention. Commercially available natural spring water was passed through the device. The results of muscle hardness measurements taken at a random point on the elbow of the arm using a NEUTONE TDM-N1 / NA1 (Triall Co., Ltd.) before and 15 minutes after consuming 200-300cc of water were tabulated. This device accurately measures muscle hardness by lighting up an LED and sounding a buzzer when the stopper is touched, ensuring consistent pressure. Measurements No. 1 to No. 6 in Figure 10 show measurements taken at a random point on the elbow of the dominant arm before and after consuming the water on March 30, 2024. All subjects' muscle hardness values, from No. 1 to No. 6, showed a decrease in muscle hardness and a softening of the muscles.
[0042] Figure 11 shows an example of water activated using the liquid activation device of the present invention, showing the results of analysis by Food Analysis Center Co., Ltd. over three days from March 26th to March 28th, 2024, of Fukuyama City tap water passed through the device. The results were negative for bacteria such as coliform bacteria, E. coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Salmonella even when tap water was passed through the liquid activation device, demonstrating that the liquid activation device is a hygienic device that does not generate bacteria.
[0043] Figure 12 shows an example of water activated using the liquid activation device of the present invention. Microbial measurements were performed using Sanai Biochecker FC from Sanai Oburi Co., Ltd. on Fukuyama City tap water, which had been left to stand for approximately 10 days to remove chlorine, and activated water activated by passing the same Fukuyama City tap water through a liquid activation device. The total bacterial count, coliform bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus, and fungi were cultured from April 14, 2024, and photographs were taken around 8:00 PM on the second and third days, and the results are presented in a table. A comparison of the cultures of the Fukuyama City tap water and the activated water activated by passing the source water through the device clearly shows that the activated water has antibacterial properties, as shown in the figure.
[0044] The liquid activation device of the present invention described above can be made small enough to be portable, and can be provided as a simple device that allows activated liquid to be easily poured into a storage container inlet 24 such as various PET bottles or glass bottles without leaking by inserting the insertion port 22 at the bottom of the liquid activation device into the inlet 24. Furthermore, by joining multiple processed nut-enclosed hexagonal columns 5, the size and liquid flow rate can be freely controlled, and the device can be provided as a device that can modify and activate not only water but also any liquid state with a viscosity that allows it to fall naturally in a roughly vertical direction in a short time at a liquid temperature between 0°C and 80°C.
