[0010] (Example 1) Before specifically describing the embodiments of the present disclosure, an overview of the embodiments will be described. This embodiment relates to an electrolyzed water spraying device that generates electrolyzed water using the 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 generates electrolyzed water containing reactive oxygen species by electrolyzing the water containing chloride ions by energizing an electrode. When the electrolyzed water spraying device operates continuously, water evaporates or chloride ions are consumed. Therefore, it is necessary to replenish water to the water storage unit and re-add the electrolysis promoting tablets. The evaporation amount of water or the consumption amount of chloride ions varies depending on the usage situation of the electrolyzed water spraying device. For example, if the input amount of the electrolysis promoting tablet is too large or too small, the amount of chloride ions will be too large or too small, resulting in unstable electrolysis.

[0011]

[0012] To stably perform electrolysis, the electrolyzed water spraying device according to this embodiment calculates the electrical characteristic energization amount by integrating the energization time to the electrode and the electrical characteristic value during energization of the electrode. Note that the larger the electrical characteristic energization amount, the larger the consumption amount of chloride ions, and the smaller the electrical characteristic energization amount, the smaller the consumption amount of chloride ions. Therefore, the electrolyzed water spraying device increases the input amount of the electrolysis promoting tablet as the electrical characteristic energization amount increases, and decreases the input amount of the electrolysis promoting tablet as the electrical characteristic energization amount decreases.Hereinafter, embodiments for implementing the present disclosure will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIGS. 1A and 1B show the structure of the electrolyzed water spraying device 100. FIG. 1A is a perspective view of the electrolyzed water spraying device 100, showing the electrolyzed water spraying device 100 as viewed from the front side. FIG. 1B is a perspective view of the electrolyzed water spraying device 100, showing the electrolyzed water spraying device 100 as viewed from the front side with the panel 3 in FIG. 1A opened.

[0013] For convenience of explanation, the following may be described as follows.

[0014] That is, as shown in FIG. 1A, when the electrolyzed water spraying device 100 is installed, the vertical direction may be described as the up and down direction, and the "upper side" and "lower side" may be used. Similarly, as shown in FIG. 1A, when the electrolyzed water spraying device 100 is installed, the vertical direction is the up and down direction, and the upper surface of the electrolyzed water spraying device 100 may be described as the "top surface" or "upper surface".

[0015] The electrolyzed water spraying device 100 includes a substantially box-shaped main body case 1. On both side surfaces of the main body case 1, substantially rectangular air inlets 2 are provided. On the top surface of the main body case 1, an openable and closable air outlet 6 is provided. In FIGS. 1A and 1B, the air outlet 6 is in a closed state.

[0016] On the front side of the upper surface of the main body case 1, an upper surface panel 20 is provided. FIG. 2 shows the structure of the upper surface panel 20. The upper surface panel 20 is provided with a power button 120 that is pressed when turning on or off the power of the electrolyzed water spraying device 100, an electrolysis intensity button 122 that is pressed when changing the electrolysis intensity of electrolysis, and an air volume button 124 that is pressed when changing the air volume. By pressing the electrolysis intensity button 122, the electrolysis intensity is changed in three stages of "weak", "medium", and "strong". Also, by pressing the air volume button 124, the air volume is changed in four stages of "silent", "medium", "strong", and "automatic". The upper surface panel 20 is provided with a plurality of lamps that indicate the state of the electrolyzed water spraying device 100 according to the lighting state or are used to give various instructions to the user. For example, according to the lighting state of the lamp, the user is urged to drain the water storage unit 14.

[0017] When viewed from the front side of the main body case 1, on the right side surface (one side surface of the main body case 1), which is the main body side surface 1A, an openable panel 3 is provided. On the panel 3, an air inlet 2 on one side surface of the main body case 1 is provided. In the main body case 1, a vertically long rectangular opening 4 covered by the panel 3 is provided. In the main body case 1, through the opening 4, a water storage part 14, a water supply part 15, a tablet input case 18a, etc., which will be described later, are arranged so as to be removable.

[0018] Also, inside the main body case 1, a door inner panel 25 operable by the user through the opening 4 is provided. On the door inner panel 25, a plurality of lamps for indicating the state of the electrolyzed water spraying device 100 or giving various instructions to the user according to the lighting state are provided. Also, on the door inner panel 25, a plurality of operation buttons for the user to give various notifications to the electrolyzed water spraying device 100 are provided. One of the plurality of operation buttons is an operation button for notifying the electrolyzed water spraying device 100 that the user has drained the water storage part 14 after the user has drained the water storage part 14 when a display indicating that the drainage of the water storage part 14 is promoted is made. When the operation button for notifying that the drainage has been performed is operated by the user, the electrolyzed water spraying device 100 grasps that the drainage of the water storage part 14 has been completed.

[0019] The water storage part 14 is removable from the main body case 1 through the opening 4. The drainage of the water storage part 14 is performed by removing the water storage part 14 from the main body case 1 through the opening 4.

[0020] The inner door panel 25 is provided at a position where it can be operated with the panel 3 open. As a result, when a notification is made by the lamp on the upper surface panel 20, in order to end the display (corresponding to the notification by the lamp), the user must open the panel 3. Therefore, the electrolyzed water spraying device 100 can prompt the user to drain the water storage section 14 by the operation of opening the panel 3. Further, when operating the inner door panel 25, the user can check the state of the water storage section 14 through the opening 4. Thereby, the user can operate the inner door panel 25 after visually confirming that the water storage section 14 is being drained.

[0021] FIG. 3A and FIG. 3B are cross-sectional views showing the structure of the electrolyzed water spraying device 100. FIG. 3A is a cross-sectional view obtained by vertically cutting the central portion of the electrolyzed water spraying device 100 in a front view, and is a view of the electrolyzed water spraying device 100 as seen from the right side. FIG. 3B is a cross-sectional view obtained by vertically cutting the right side of the electrolyzed water spraying device 100 in a front view, and is a view of the electrolyzed water spraying device 100 as seen from the right side. FIG. 4 is a functional block diagram of the electrolyzed water spraying device 100.

[0022] As shown in FIG. 1B, FIG. 3A, FIG. 3B, and FIG. 4, an electrolyzed water generation section 5, a water supply section 15, a spraying section 19, and an air passage 8 are provided in the main body case 1. The electrolyzed water generation section 5 includes a water storage section 14, an electrolysis section 17, an electrolysis promoting tablet input section 18, a control section 30, a display section 420, and a drainage display section 430. The water storage section 14 has a box shape with an open top surface and has a structure capable of storing water. The water storage section 14 is disposed at the lower part of the main body case 1, is slidable horizontally from the main body case 1 and is detachable, and can be taken out from the main body case 1 through the opening 4. The water storage section 14 stores the water supplied from the water supply section 15.

[0023] The electrolysis unit 17 includes an electrode member (not shown), and is installed such that the electrode member is immersed in the water in the water storage unit 14. By energizing the electrode member, 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 having higher oxidation activity than ordinary oxygen and substances related to oxygen molecules. 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). Also, the water containing chloride ions corresponds to the water into which an electrolysis-promoting tablet has been added.

[0024] The electrolysis unit 17 generates electrolyzed water by repeatedly energizing and de-energizing the electrode member a plurality of times. Specifically, the electrolysis unit 17 takes as one cycle the energization time for energizing the electrode member for electrolysis and the time after the energization of the electrode member is stopped, that is, the non-energization time when no energization is being performed, and repeats that one cycle a plurality of times. By providing a non-energization time for the electrode member, the life of the electrode member is extended. If the energization time is made longer than the non-energization time, more electrolyzed water containing a larger amount of reactive oxygen species is generated per cycle. Also, if the non-energization time is made longer than the energization time, the generation of reactive oxygen species per cycle is suppressed. Furthermore, if the amount of electric power during the energization time is increased, more electrolyzed water containing a larger amount of reactive oxygen species is generated.

[0025] The electrolysis-promoting tablet input unit 18 includes a tablet input case 18a, a tablet input member (not shown) provided in the tablet input case 18a, and a tablet input cover 18b detachably provided on the upper part of the tablet input case 18a. The tablet input case 18a can be taken out from the main body case 1 through the opening 4. The user can load the electrolysis-promoting tablet into the tablet input case 18a by removing the tablet input cover 18b from the taken-out tablet input case 18a.

[0026] When the electrolysis - promoting tablet input unit 18 receives an instruction to input electrolysis - promoting tablets from the control unit 30, it rotates the tablet input member. When the tablet input member rotates, the electrolysis - promoting tablets fall into the water storage unit 14 through a drop opening (not shown) on the bottom surface of the tablet input case 18a. The electrolysis - promoting tablet input unit 18 counts the number of electrolysis - promoting tablets that have fallen from the tablet input case 18a into the water storage unit 14. When it is determined that one electrolysis - promoting tablet has fallen from the tablet input case 18a into the water storage unit 14, the electrolysis - promoting tablet input unit 18 stops the rotation of the tablet input member. When the electrolysis - promoting tablets dissolve 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.

[0027] The electrolyzed - water spraying device 100 may not have the electrolysis - promoting tablet input unit 18. In this case, the electrolyzed - water spraying device 100 may display or emit a sound to notify the user to input the electrolysis - promoting tablets, and the user may directly input the electrolysis - promoting tablets into the water storage unit 14. When the electrolysis - promoting tablet input unit 18 is not provided, the control by the control unit 30 related to the electrolysis - promoting tablet input unit 18 in the following description is omitted.

[0028] The control unit 30 is provided, for example, on the back side of an operation panel (upper - surface panel 20) provided on the top surface of the main body case 1 (see FIG. 1) and controls the electrolyzed - water generation unit 5. Specifically, the control unit 30 controls the electrolysis of water by the electrolysis unit 17. Also, the control unit 30 controls the display to prompt the user to supply or drain water from the water storage unit 14. Further, the control unit 30 controls the input of electrolysis - promoting tablets by the electrolysis - promoting tablet input unit 18.

[0029] The water supply unit 15 is installed on the right - hand side surface when viewed from the front inside the main body case 1, is detachable from the water storage unit 14, and can be taken out of the main body case 1 through the opening 4. The water supply unit 15 is attached to a tank holding portion 14a provided on the bottom surface of the water storage unit 14.

[0030] The water supply section 15 includes a tank 15a for storing water and a lid 15b provided at an opening (not shown) of the tank 15a. An opening / closing section (not shown) is provided at the center of the lid 15b. When the opening / closing section opens, the water in the tank 15a is supplied to the water storage section 14. Specifically, when the water supply section 15 with the opening of the tank 15a facing downward is attached to the tank holding section 14a of the water storage section 14, the opening / closing section of the lid 15b is opened by the tank holding section 14a. That is, when the water supply section 15 filled with water is attached to the tank holding section 14a, the opening / closing section of the lid 15b opens and water is supplied to the water storage section 14, and water accumulates in the water storage section 14. When the water level in the water storage section 14 rises to reach the lid 15b, the opening of the water supply section 15 is sealed with water, so the water supply stops. When the water level in the water storage section 14 drops with water remaining inside the water supply section 15, the water inside the tank 15a is supplied to the water storage section 14. That is, the water level in the water storage section 14 is kept constant.

[0031] Note that the electrolyzed water spraying device 100 does not necessarily have to have the tank 15a as the water supply section 15. In this case, a line for supplying tap water to the electrolyzed water spraying device 100 may be provided, and when the water level in the water storage section 14 drops, tap water may be supplied until the water level in the water storage section 14 rises to a predetermined position.

[0032] The spraying section 19 includes a blowing section 7 and a filter section 16. The blowing section 7 is provided at the central part of the main body case 1, and includes a motor section 9, a fan section 10 rotated by the motor section 9, and a scroll-shaped casing section 11 surrounding the motor section 9 and the fan section 10.

[0033] The fan section 10 is, for example, a sirocco fan and is fixed to a rotating shaft 9a extending horizontally from the motor section 9.

[0034] The motor section 9 is fixed to the casing section 11. The rotating shaft 9a of the motor section 9 extends from the front side to the back side of the main body case 1. In the casing section 11, an air outlet 12 is provided on the upper surface side of the main body case 1 of the casing section 11, and an air inlet 13 is provided on the back side of the main body case 1 of the casing section 11.

[0035] The air volume of the air supply unit 7 is determined every unit time of air volume (for example, 5 minutes) according to temperature, humidity, gas odor level, etc. Based on the determined air volume, the rotation amount of the motor unit 9 is controlled.

[0036] The filter unit 16 is a member that brings the electrolyzed water stored in the water storage unit 14 into contact with the indoor air that has flowed into the main body case 1 by the air supply unit 7. The filter unit 16 is configured in a cylindrical shape and has a filter 16a provided with holes through which air can flow in the circumferential portion. One end of the filter unit 16 is arranged to be immersed in the electrolyzed water stored in the water storage unit 14 to retain water, and is rotatably built into 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 drive unit (not shown) to continuously bring the electrolyzed water into contact with the indoor air.

[0037] The air passage 8 communicates the intake port 2 and the blowout port 6. Specifically, the air passage 8 is composed of, in order from the intake port 2, the intake port 2, the filter unit 16, the air supply unit 7, and the blowout port 6. When the fan unit 10 rotates by the motor unit 9, the external air sucked in from the intake port 2 and entering the air passage 8 is blown out to the outside of the electrolyzed water spraying device 100 through the filter 16a, the air supply unit 7, and the blowout port 6. Thereby, the electrolyzed water generated in the water storage unit 14 is sprayed to the outside. Note that the electrolyzed water spraying device 100 does not necessarily have to spray the electrolyzed water itself. Spraying the active oxygen species derived from the electrolyzed water (including volatilization) that are ultimately generated is also included in the electrolyzed water spraying.

[0038] Figures 5A to 5C show an overview of the operation of the electrolyzed water spraying device 100. Figure 5A shows an overview of the operation of a conventional electrolyzed water spraying device as a comparison target.

[0039] In a conventional electrolyzed water spraying device, drainage of the water storage section is carried out, and an electrolysis promoting tablet is inserted starting from the timing when the first water supply is carried out. For example, the electrolysis promoting tablet is a tablet (hereinafter also referred to as a "salt tablet") having a size that can be mounted in a tablet insertion case, and one salt tablet is inserted. When the water in the water storage section evaporates due to the operation of the electrolyzed water spraying device and reaches a predetermined level, it is determined that the water is depleted. When it is determined that the water is depleted, water is supplied to the water storage section. Here, depletion of water is determined seven times, such as depletion 1 to depletion 7. In the conventional electrolyzed water spraying device, the salt tablet is inserted at the time when three days have elapsed from the starting point. Also, at the time when seven days have elapsed from the starting point, the water in the water storage section is drained. In this way, with a cycle of seven days, drainage and water supply are carried out, and two salt tablets are inserted.

[0040] The electrolyzed water spraying device 100 of the present embodiment needs to improve the spraying ability of electrolyzed water compared to the above-described conventional electrolyzed water spraying device in order to be used in a wider space. In that case, since the spraying amount of electrolyzed water in a certain period increases, the tank capacity of the necessary water supply section 15 also increases, and the water supply amount in a certain period increases. For this reason, when the amount of salt tablets to be inserted at a preset time is not enough with one tablet, there is a possibility that the antibacterial and deodorizing performance cannot be stably realized.

[0041] In addition, the upper surface panel 20 of the electrolyzed water spraying device 100 is provided with an electrolysis intensity button 122 and an air volume button 124. The electrolysis intensity can be changed by the electrolysis intensity button 122. Also, the air volume can be changed by the air volume button 124. FIGS. 6A and 6B show another operation overview of the electrolyzed water spraying device 100. FIG. 6A shows the current value, energization time, and non-energization time when the electrolysis intensity is set to "strong" and the air volume is set to "silent", "medium", or "strong". FIG. 6B shows the current value, energization time, and non-energization time when the electrolysis intensity is set to "medium" and the air volume is set to "silent", "medium", or "strong". From FIGS. 6A and 6B, the greater the electrolysis intensity, the greater the current value and the longer the energization time. Also, the greater the air volume, the greater the current value and the longer the energization time. Further, as the integrated value of the energization time and the current value increases, the consumption amount of chloride ions increases and the production amount of electrolyzed water increases. Therefore, the required number of salt tablets varies depending on the settings of the electrolysis intensity and the air volume. To cope with these, the electrolyzed water spraying device 100 operates as shown in FIGS. 5B and 5C.

[0042] FIG. 5B shows the first operation by the electrolyzed water spraying device 100. FIG. 5B shows the operation overview of the electrolyzed water spraying device 100 in the same manner as FIG. 5A. The electrolyzed water spraying device 100 calculates the electric characteristic energization amount by integrating the electric characteristic values energized to the electrode member of the electrolysis unit 17 from the start point to the third day. The electric characteristic values are, for example, voltage values, current values, or power values. Also, if the electric characteristic energization amount is small, the electrolyzed water spraying device 100 inserts one salt tablet at the time when three days have elapsed from the start point. On the other hand, if the electric characteristic energization amount is large, the electrolyzed water spraying device 100 inserts two salt tablets at the time when three days have elapsed from the start point. Further, the electrolyzed water spraying device 100 drains the water in the water storage unit 14 at the time when seven days have elapsed from the start point as before. That is, the electrolyzed water spraying device 100 estimates the chloride ion consumption amount from the integrated value of the "energization time" and the "energization amount (current value)" from after draining the water and exchanging the water until three days later. Then, the electrolyzed water spraying device 100 determines the input amount of salt tablets in the same cycle from the estimation result.

[0043] Figure 5C shows the second operation of the electrolyzed water spraying device 100. Similar to Figure 5A, Figure 5C also shows the general operation of the electrolyzed water spraying device 100. The electrolyzed water spraying device 100 calculates the electric characteristic energization amount by integrating the electric characteristic values energized to the electrode member of the electrolysis unit 17 during the period from the starting point to the seventh day. That is, in the second operation, the period for integrating the electric characteristic values is different from that in the first operation. Also, the electrolyzed water spraying device 100 drains the water in the water storage unit 14 at the time when seven days have passed since the starting point, as before. Further, at the starting point of the next cycle, if the electric characteristic energization amount is small, the electrolyzed water spraying device 100 inputs one salt tablet. On the other hand, at the starting point of the next cycle, if the electric characteristic energization amount is large, the electrolyzed water spraying device 100 inputs two salt tablets. That is, the electrolyzed water spraying device 100 estimates the chloride ion consumption amount from the integrated value of the "energization time" and the "energization amount (current value)" from after draining and exchanging the water until the end of one cycle. Then, the electrolyzed water spraying device 100 determines the input amount of the salt tablet in the next cycle from the estimation result. Note that the first operation and the second operation may be combined.

[0044] Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 4, the processing of the electrolyzed water spraying device 100 will be described in the order of (1) the first operation and (2) the second operation.

[0045] (1) The first operation The energization time counting unit 200 measures the energization time from the aforementioned starting point and the energization time to the electrode member constituting the electrolysis unit 17. The starting point may be, for example, the time when the operation button on the inner panel 25 of the door 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 integration unit 204.

[0046] The electrical characteristic value 202 is a voltage value or a current value. Note that the electrical characteristic value 202 may be a power value. The electrical characteristic value 202 is measured by a sensor (not shown), but a value corresponding to the setting of the electrolytic strength button 122 and the setting of the air volume button 124 may be preset.

[0047] The integrating unit 204 calculates the electrical characteristic energization amount by integrating the energization time and the electrical characteristic value. The integrating unit 204 outputs the electrical characteristic energization amount to the control unit 30. The energization input storage unit 412 included in the storage unit 400 stores the electrical characteristic energization amount and the input amount of the electrolysis promoting tablets in association with each other. As described above, the larger the electrical characteristic energization amount, the larger the input amount of the electrolysis promoting tablets. Also, the smaller the electrical characteristic energization amount, the smaller the input amount of the electrolysis promoting tablets.

[0048] The input timing control unit 320 included in the control unit 30 controls the input timing, which is the timing for injecting the electrolysis promoting tablets 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 that it is the input timing. The first threshold is set to, for example, "three days".

[0049] The input amount control unit 310 included in the control unit 30 controls the input amount, which is the amount of the electrolysis promoting tablets to be injected into the water storage unit 14, at the time determined to be the input timing by the input timing 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 tablets from the electrical characteristic energization amount calculated by the integrating unit 204. At that time, the electrical characteristic energization amount calculated by the integrating unit 204 corresponds to, for example, the electrical characteristic energization amount for "three days".

[0050] When the input timing control unit 320 determines the input timing, 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. When the input amount control unit 310 receives the instruction from the input timing control unit 320, it causes the display unit 420 to display the determined input amount of the electrolysis promoting tablets. The display unit 420 is provided, for example, on the upper surface panel 20 or the like, and displays the input amount of the electrolysis promoting tablets. When the user confirms the input amount of the electrolysis promoting tablets displayed on the display unit 420, the user inputs the electrolysis promoting tablets according to the input amount.

[0051] When the input timing control unit 320 determines the input timing, it may instruct the input amount control unit 310 to input the electrolysis promoting tablets in the input amount determined by the input amount control unit 310. When the input amount control unit 310 receives the instruction from the input timing 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 instructed from the input amount control unit 310 into the water storage unit 14. Further, the display of the input amount of the electrolysis promoting tablets on the display unit 420 and the input of the electrolysis promoting tablets by the electrolysis promoting tablet input unit 18 may both be performed.

[0052] (2) Second operation The drainage input storage unit 410 included in the storage unit 400 stores the drainage input amount, which is the amount of electrolysis promoting tablets to be input after the drainage treatment. The drainage input storage unit 410 also stores the electrical characteristic energization amount and the input amount of the electrolysis promoting tablets in association with each other. As the electrical characteristic energization amount increases, the input amount of the electrolysis promoting tablets increases. Also, as the electrical characteristic energization amount decreases, the input amount of the electrolysis promoting tablets decreases.

[0053] The drainage control unit 330 included in the control unit 30 controls the drainage timing 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 that it is the drainage timing. The second threshold is set to, for example, "7 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 surface panel 20 or the like, and performs a display prompting the drainage of the water storage unit 14.

[0054] When the water discharge control unit 330 determines that it is the time for water discharge, the input amount control unit 310 controls the water discharge input amount, which is the amount of electrolysis promoting tablets to be input into the water storage unit 14. Specifically, the input amount control unit 310 refers to the water discharge input storage unit 410 and determines the water discharge input amount of the electrolysis promoting tablets from the amount of electricity conduction of the electrical characteristics calculated by the integration unit 204. At this time, the amount of electricity conduction of the electrical characteristics calculated by the integration unit 204 corresponds to, for example, the amount of electricity conduction of the electrical characteristics for "7 days". Note that instead of determining the water discharge input amount of the electrolysis promoting tablets from the amount of electricity conduction of the electrical characteristics calculated by the integration unit 204, a fixed number of electrolysis promoting tablets with a fixed value of the input amount to be input during water discharge, which is pre-stored in the water discharge input storage unit 410, may be input.

[0055] When the water discharge control unit 330 determines the water discharge time, it instructs the input amount control unit 310 to display the water discharge input amount of the electrolysis promoting tablets determined by the input amount control unit 310. When the input amount control unit 310 receives the instruction from the water discharge control unit 330, it causes the display unit 420 to display the determined water discharge input amount of the electrolysis promoting tablets. The display unit 420 displays the water discharge input amount of the electrolysis promoting tablets. When the user confirms the water discharge input amount of the electrolysis promoting tablets displayed on the display unit 420, the user inputs the electrolysis promoting tablets according to the water discharge input amount.

[0056] When the water discharge control unit 330 determines the water discharge time, it may instruct the input amount control unit 310 to input the electrolysis promoting tablets with the water discharge input amount determined by the input amount control unit 310. When the input amount control unit 310 receives the instruction from the water discharge control unit 330, it instructs the electrolysis promoting tablet input unit 18 to input the electrolysis promoting tablets with the determined water discharge input amount. The electrolysis promoting tablet input unit 18 inputs the electrolysis promoting tablets with the water discharge input amount instructed by the input amount control unit 310 into the water storage unit 14. Also, both the display of the water discharge input amount of the electrolysis promoting tablets on the display unit 420 and the input of the electrolysis promoting tablets by the electrolysis promoting tablet input unit 18 may be implemented.

[0057] The subject of the device, system, or method in the present disclosure includes a computer. By executing a program on this computer, the functions of the subject of the device, system, or method in the present disclosure are realized. The computer mainly includes a processor that operates according to the program as a hardware configuration. The type of the processor is not limited as long as it can realize functions by executing the program. The processor is composed of one or more electronic circuits including a semiconductor integrated circuit (Integrated Circuit) or LSI (Large Scale Integration). The plurality of electronic circuits may be integrated on one chip or provided on a plurality of chips. The plurality of chips may be integrated into one device or provided in a plurality of devices. The program is recorded on a non-transitory recording medium such as a computer-readable ROM (Read Only Memory), optical disk, or hard disk drive. The program may be pre-stored in the recording medium or supplied to the recording medium via a wide area communication network including the Internet or the like.

[0058] The operation of the electrolyzed water spraying device 100 with the above configuration will be described. FIGS. 7A and 7B are flowcharts showing the control procedure by the electrolyzed water spraying device 100.

[0059] In FIG. 7A, when the energization time is greater than the first threshold value (Yes (Y) in S4), the electrolysis promoting tablet is inserted (S6). When the energization time is not greater than the first threshold value (No (N) in S4), the process ends.

[0060] In FIG. 7B, when the energization time is greater than the second threshold value (Y in S10), the drainage display unit 430 executes a drainage display (S12). Thereafter, when the drainage is not completed (N in S14), the process returns to step 12. When the drainage is completed (Y in S14), the electrolysis promoting tablet is inserted (S16). When the energization time is not greater than the second threshold value (N in S10), the process ends.

[0061] According to this embodiment, the input timing, which is the timing for introducing the electrolysis promoting tablets into the water storage unit 14, is controlled, and the input amount, which is the amount of the electrolysis promoting tablets introduced into the water storage unit 14, is controlled. Thereby, electrolysis can be stably performed regardless of the usage situation. Further, the electrolytic characteristic energization amount is calculated by integrating the energization time to the electrode and the electrolytic characteristic value at the time of energization to the electrode. Then, based on the calculated electrolytic characteristic energization amount, the input amount of the electrolysis promoting tablets is determined. Therefore, the input amount of the electrolysis promoting tablets corresponding to the usage situation can be determined.

[0062] Further, the electrolytic characteristic value is a voltage value or a current value. Therefore, the accuracy of the electrolytic characteristic energization amount can be improved.

[0063] Further, based on the electrolytic characteristic energization amount, the input amount associated by the energization input storage unit 412 is specified and determined. Therefore, the process can be simplified.

[0064] Further, the display unit 420 is instructed to display the input amount determined by the input amount control unit 310. Therefore, the user can be notified of the input amount.

[0065] Further, the electrolysis promoting tablet input unit 18 is instructed to introduce the electrolysis promoting tablets in the input amount determined by the input amount control unit 310 into the water storage unit 14. Therefore, the electrolysis promoting tablets in an appropriate input amount can be introduced.

[0066] When the energization time exceeds the first threshold value, 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 introduced at an appropriate timing.

[0067] Further, when the energization time exceeds the first threshold value, the electrolysis promoting tablet input unit 18 is instructed to introduce the electrolysis promoting tablets in the input amount determined by the input amount control unit 310 into the water storage unit 14. Therefore, the electrolysis promoting tablets can be introduced at an appropriate timing.

[0068] Also, 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 treatment, the display unit 420 is instructed to display the input amount at the time of drainage. Therefore, the electrolysis promoting tablets can be inserted at an appropriate time.

[0069] Also, 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 treatment, 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 inserted at an appropriate time.

[0070] The outline of one aspect of the present disclosure is as follows.

[0071] An electrolyzed water spraying device (100) according to an aspect of the present disclosure includes a water storage unit (14) for storing water, an input timing control unit (320) for controlling the input timing which is the timing for inputting an electrolysis promoter into the water storage unit (14), an input amount control unit (310) for controlling the input amount which is the amount of the electrolysis promoter to be input into the water storage unit (14), and an electrolysis unit (17) for electrolyzing the water stored in the water storage unit (14) with the water into which the electrolysis promoter has been input to generate electrolyzed water.

[0072] The electrolysis unit (17) may further include an integration unit (204) that calculates the electrical characteristic energization amount by integrating the energization time to the electrodes constituting the electrolysis unit (17) and the electrical characteristic value at the time of energization to the electrodes. The input amount control unit (310) may determine the input amount of the electrolysis promoter based on the electrical characteristic energization amount calculated by the integration unit (204).

[0073] The electrical characteristic value may be a voltage value or a current value.

[0074] The electrolysis unit (17) may further include a energization-input storage unit (412) that stores the electrical characteristic energization amount and the input amount of the electrolysis promoter in association with each other. The input amount control unit (310) may determine the input amount associated by the energization-input storage unit (412) based on the electrical characteristic energization amount calculated by the integration unit (204).

[0075] It may further include a display unit (420) for displaying the input amount. The input amount control unit (310) may instruct the display unit (420) to display the input amount determined by the input amount control unit (310).

[0076] It may further include an electrolysis promoter input unit (18) for inputting an electrolysis promoter into the water storage unit (14). The input amount control unit (310) may 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).

[0077] When the energization time to the electrode exceeds the first threshold value, the input timing control unit (320) may instruct the display unit (420) to display the input amount determined by the input amount control unit (310).

[0078] When the energization time to the electrode exceeds the first threshold value, the input timing control unit (320) may 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).

[0079] It may further include a drainage display unit (422) for displaying a prompt for draining the water storage unit (14), a drainage input storage unit (410) for storing the drainage input amount, which is the amount of the electrolysis promoter to be input into the water storage unit (14) after drainage treatment, and a drainage control unit (330) for controlling the drainage timing, which is the time to drain the water stored in the water storage unit (14). When the energization time to the electrode exceeds the second threshold value, the drainage control unit (330) may instruct the drainage display unit (422) to display a prompt for draining, and after the drainage treatment, may instruct the display unit (420) to display the drainage input amount stored in the drainage input storage unit (410).

[0080] A drainage display unit (422) that displays to promote the drainage of the water storage unit (14), a drainage input storage unit (410) that stores the amount of electrolysis accelerator to be input into the water storage unit (14) after drainage treatment, which is the input amount during drainage, and a drainage control unit (330) that controls the drainage timing, which is the timing to drain the water stored in the water storage unit (14), may be further provided. When the energization time to the electrode exceeds the second threshold value, the drainage control unit (330) instructs the drainage display unit (422) to display to promote drainage, and after the drainage treatment, it may 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).

[0081] (Example 2) Next, Example 2 will be described. The electrolyzed water spraying device 100A of Example 2 adjusts the input amount of the electrolysis accelerator according to the usage situation, similar to the electrolyzed water spraying device 100 of Example 1. In the electrolyzed water spraying device 100 of Example 1, in either the first operation or the second operation, the input amount of the electrolysis accelerator is determined based on the amount of energization of electrical characteristics calculated over a fixed period such as the first threshold value or the second threshold value. On the other hand, in the electrolyzed water spraying device 100A of Example 2, the period for calculating the amount of energization of electrical characteristics changes according to the water supply situation to the water storage unit 14, rather than a fixed period.

[0082] In the electrolyzed water spraying device 100A according to Example 2, for the components that are substantially the same as the components provided in the electrolyzed water spraying device 100 shown in Example 1, the same reference numerals as those of the components are given, and the description thereof is omitted or simplified.

[0083] In FIG. 5A, in the conventional electrolyzed water spraying device, as described above, drainage of the water storage section is carried out, and starting from the time when the first water supply is carried out, an electrolysis promoting tablet is inserted. When the water in the water storage section evaporates due to the operation of the electrolyzed water spraying device and reaches a predetermined level, it is determined as water shortage. When water shortage is determined, water is supplied to the water storage section. Here, water shortage is determined seven times, such as from water shortage 1 to water shortage 7. When water shortage 3 is detected, a salt tablet is inserted. Also, when water shortage 7 is detected, the water in the water storage section is drained. Taking up to water shortage 7 as one cycle (period), drainage and water supply are carried out, and two salt tablets are inserted. Even in such a situation, as with the electrolyzed water spraying device 100 of Example 1, the required number of salt tablets varies depending on the setting of the electrolysis intensity and the air volume. Therefore, the electrolyzed water spraying device 100A of Example 2 operates as shown in FIGS. 5B and 5C.

[0084] FIG. 5B shows the first operation by the electrolyzed water spraying device 100A. The electrolyzed water spraying device 100A calculates the electric characteristic energization amount by integrating the electric characteristic values energized to the electrode member of the electrolysis section 17 from the start to water shortage 3. If the electric characteristic energization amount of the electrolyzed water spraying device 100A is small, one salt tablet is inserted at the time when water is supplied for water shortage 3. On the other hand, if the electric characteristic energization amount of the electrolyzed water spraying device 100A is large, two salt tablets are inserted at the time when water is supplied for water shortage 3. Further, the electrolyzed water spraying device 100A drains the water in the water storage section 14 when water shortage 7 is detected. That is, the electrolyzed water spraying device 100 estimates the chloride ion consumption amount from the integrated value of the "energization time" and the "energization amount (current value)" from after draining and exchanging the water to water shortage 3. Then, the electrolyzed water spraying device 100A determines the insertion amount of the salt tablet in the same cycle from the estimation result.

[0085] FIG. 5C shows the second operation of the electrolyzed water spraying device 100A. The electrolyzed water spraying device 100A calculates the energization amount of electrical characteristics by integrating the electrical characteristic values energized to the electrode member of the electrolysis unit 17 between the starting point and the drought water 7. That is, in the second operation, the period for integrating the electrical characteristic values is different from that in the first operation. Further, the electrolyzed water spraying device 100A drains the water in the water storage unit 14 when the drought water 7 is detected. Furthermore, the electrolyzed water spraying device 100A inputs one salt tablet if the energization amount of electrical characteristics is small at the starting point of the next cycle. On the other hand, the electrolyzed water spraying device 100A inputs two salt tablets if the energization amount of electrical characteristics is large at the starting point of the next cycle. That is, the electrolyzed water spraying device 100A estimates the chloride ion consumption amount from the integrated value of the "energization time" and the "energization amount (current value)" from after draining and exchanging the water until the end of one cycle. Then, the electrolyzed water spraying device 100A determines the input amount of the salt tablet in the next cycle from the estimation result.

[0086] Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 8, the processing of the electrolyzed water spraying device 100A will be described in the order of (1) the first operation and (2) the second operation.

[0087] FIG. 8 is a functional block diagram of the electrolyzed water spraying device 100A. The electrolyzed water spraying device 100A further includes a water amount detection unit 220 and a water shortage count measurement unit 222 as compared with the functional block diagram of the electrolyzed water spraying device 100 shown in FIG. 4. The input timing control unit 320A included in the control unit 30A includes a water shortage count threshold comparison unit 324. The drainage control unit 330A included in the control unit 30A includes a drainage count threshold comparison unit 334. Note that the input timing control unit 320A is different from the input timing control unit 320 in the first embodiment in that it includes a water shortage count threshold comparison unit 324 instead of the first threshold time comparison unit 322, but the other configurations and operations are substantially the same as those of the input timing control unit 320 in the first embodiment. Further, the drainage control unit 330A is different from the drainage control unit 330 in the first embodiment in that it includes a drainage count threshold comparison unit 334 instead of the second threshold time comparison unit 332, but the other configurations and operations are substantially the same as those of the drainage control unit 330 in the first embodiment.

[0088] (1) First operation The water volume detection unit 220 is a sensor provided in the water storage unit 14 for detecting the water volume in the water storage unit 14. As the water volume in the water storage unit 14, the water level in the water storage unit 14 is detected. Since a known technique may be used for the water volume detection unit 220, the description is omitted here.

[0089] The water shortage count measurement unit 222 receives the water volume detected by the water volume detection unit 220. When the received water volume becomes less than (falls below) the drought level (hereinafter also referred to as the "drought threshold" or "third threshold"), the water shortage count measurement unit 222 determines the occurrence of drought in the water storage unit 14. The drought threshold is set to a level at which electrolysis by the electrolysis unit 17 cannot be performed normally. When the occurrence of drought is determined, the water supply unit 15 performs water supply to the water storage unit 14. Note that the occurrence of drought corresponds to a water shortage state (insufficient state).

[0090] The input timing control unit 320A measures the number of times of the water shortage state. The input timing control unit 320A (water shortage count threshold comparison unit 324) determines that it is the input timing of the electrolysis promoting tablet when the number of times measured by the water shortage count measurement unit 222 exceeds the water shortage count threshold. The water shortage count threshold is set to, for example, "3 times".

[0091] The input amount control unit 310 controls the input amount, which is the amount of the electrolysis promoting tablet to be input into the water storage unit 14, at the time determined to be the input timing by the input timing control unit 320A. 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 from the energization amount of the electrical characteristics calculated by the integration unit 204. At that time, the energization amount of the electrical characteristics calculated by the integration unit 204 corresponds to the energization amount of the electrical characteristics up to, for example, three droughts.

[0092] When the input timing control unit 320A determines the input timing, 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. On the other hand, when the input timing control unit 320A determines the input timing, it may 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 310. Since the subsequent processing is the same as that in the first embodiment, the description is omitted here.

[0093] (2) Second operation When the number of times measured by the water volume shortage number measurement unit 222 exceeds the drainage number threshold value, the drainage control unit 330A (drainage number threshold value comparison unit 334) determines that it is the drainage timing. The drainage number threshold value is set to, for example, "7 times". The drainage control unit 330A instructs the drainage display unit 430 to display a prompt for drainage.

[0094] The drainage display unit 430 displays a prompt for draining the water storage unit 14.

[0095] The input amount control unit 310 controls the drainage-time input amount, which is the amount of electrolysis promoting tablets to be input into the water storage unit 14, at the time when the drainage control unit 330A determines that it is the drainage timing. Specifically, the input amount control unit 310 refers to the drainage input storage unit 410 and determines the drainage-time input amount of the electrolysis promoting tablets from the amount of electricity characteristic energization calculated by the integration unit 204. At this time, the amount of electricity characteristic energization calculated by the integration unit 204 corresponds to, for example, the amount of electricity characteristic energization up to 7 times of water shortage. Here, instead of determining the drainage-time input amount of the electrolysis promoting tablets from the amount of electricity characteristic energization calculated by the integration unit 204, a fixed number of electrolysis promoting tablets with a fixed value of the input amount to be input during drainage, which is stored in the drainage input storage unit 410 in advance, may be input.

[0096] When the drainage control unit 330A determines the drainage timing, it instructs the input amount control unit 310 to display the drainage-time input amount of the electrolysis promoting tablets determined by the input amount control unit 310. On the other hand, when the drainage control unit 330A determines the drainage timing, it may also instruct the input amount control unit 310 to input the electrolysis promoting tablets in the drainage-time input amount determined by the input amount control unit 310. Since the subsequent processing is the same as that in the first embodiment, the description is omitted here.

[0097] The operation of the electrolyzed water spraying device 100A with the above configuration will be described. FIGS. 9A and 9B are flowcharts showing the control procedure by the electrolyzed water spraying device 100.

[0098] In FIG. 9A, when the number of water shortage times is greater than the water shortage times threshold (Y in S30), the electrolysis promoting tablet is inserted (S32). When the number of water shortage times is not greater than the water shortage times threshold (N in S30), the process ends.

[0099] In FIG. 9B, when the number of water shortage times is greater than the drainage times threshold (Y in S50), the drainage display unit 430 executes the drainage display (S52). Thereafter, if the drainage is not completed (N in S54), the process returns to step 52. When the drainage is completed (Y in S54), the electrolysis promoting tablet is inserted (S56). When the number of water shortage times is not greater than the drainage times threshold (N in S50), the process ends.

[0100] According to this embodiment, when the number of water shortage states 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 tablet can be inserted at an appropriate time.

[0101] Also, when the number of water shortage states exceeds the water shortage times threshold, the electrolysis promoting tablet input unit 18 is instructed to insert the electrolysis promoting agent with the input amount determined by the input amount control unit 310 into the water storage unit 14. Therefore, the electrolysis promoting tablet can be inserted at an appropriate time.

[0102] Also, when the number of water shortage states exceeds the drainage times threshold, an instruction is given to display for promoting drainage, and after the drainage process, an instruction is given to the display unit 420 to display the input amount at the time of drainage. Therefore, the electrolysis promoting tablet can be inserted at an appropriate time.

[0103] Also, when the number of times of the water shortage state exceeds the drainage number threshold, an indication to promote drainage is given, and the electrolysis accelerator input unit 18 is instructed to input the electrolysis accelerator into the water storage unit 14 after the drainage treatment, so that the electrolysis accelerator can be input at an appropriate time.

[0104] The outline of one aspect of the present disclosure is as follows.

[0105] 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 frequency 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 below a third threshold (drought threshold). When the number of times measured by the water shortage frequency measurement unit (222) exceeds a fourth threshold (water shortage frequency threshold), the input timing control unit (320A) may instruct the display unit (420) to display the determined input amount.

[0106] 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 frequency 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 below a third threshold (drought threshold). When the number of times measured by the water shortage frequency measurement unit (222) exceeds a fourth threshold (water shortage frequency threshold), the input timing control unit (320A) may instruct the electrolysis accelerator input unit (18) to input the determined amount of electrolysis accelerator into the water storage unit (14).

[0107] It may further include a drainage display unit (422) that displays an indication to promote drainage of the water storage unit (14), a drainage input storage unit (410) that stores a drainage input amount, which is the amount of the electrolysis accelerator to be input into the water storage unit (14) after drainage treatment, and a drainage control unit (330A) that controls the drainage timing, which is the timing to drain the water stored in the water storage unit (14). When the number of times measured by the water shortage frequency measurement unit (222) exceeds a fifth threshold (drainage number threshold), the drainage control unit (330A) may instruct the drainage display unit (422) to display an indication to promote drainage, and after the drainage treatment, may instruct the display unit (420) to display the drainage input amount stored in the drainage input storage unit (410).

[0108] A drainage display unit (422) that performs a display to promote drainage of the water storage unit (14), a drainage input storage unit (410) that stores the drainage input amount, which is the amount of the electrolysis accelerator to be input into the water storage unit (14) after drainage treatment, and a drainage control unit (330A) that controls the drainage timing, which is the timing to drain the water stored in the water storage unit (14), may be further provided. When the number of times measured by the water volume shortage measurement unit (222) exceeds a fifth threshold value (drainage number threshold value), the drainage control unit (330A) instructs the drainage display unit (422) to perform a display to promote drainage, and after drainage treatment, the drainage control unit (330A) may instruct the electrolysis accelerator input unit (18) to input the electrolysis accelerator with the drainage input amount stored in the drainage input storage unit (410) into the water storage unit (14).

[0109] (Example 3) Next, Example 3 will be described. The electrolyzed water spraying device 100B of Example 3 adjusts the input amount of the electrolysis promoting tablets according to the usage situation, similar to the electrolyzed water spraying device 100 of Example 1. In the electrolyzed water spraying device 100 of Example 1, in either the first operation or the second operation, the input amount of the electrolysis promoting tablets is determined based on the energization amount of the electrical characteristics calculated in a fixed period such as the first threshold value or the second threshold value. 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 changes according to the water supply situation to the water storage unit 14. The electrolyzed water spraying device 100B of Example 3 corresponds to a combination of the electrolyzed water spraying device 100 of Example 1 and the electrolyzed water spraying device 100A of Example 2.

[0110] In the electrolyzed water spraying device 100B according to Example 3, for the components that are substantially the same as the components provided in the electrolyzed water spraying device 100 shown in Example 1 or the electrolyzed water spraying device 100A shown in Example 2, the same reference numerals as those components are given, and the description thereof is omitted or simplified.

[0111] In FIG. 5B, when the earlier of the time when the drought water 3 is detected and the time when three days have elapsed from the starting point arrives, the electrolyzed water spraying device 100B inputs a salt tablet. At that time, when the time when the drought water 3 is detected arrives earlier, the electrolyzed water spraying device 100B calculates the energization amount of the electrical characteristics by integrating the electrical characteristic values from the starting point to the drought water 3. Further, when the time when three days have elapsed from the starting point arrives earlier, the electrolyzed water spraying device 100B calculates the energization amount of the electrical characteristics by integrating the electrical characteristic values from the starting point to three days.

[0112] In FIG. 5C, when the earlier of the time when the drought water 7 is detected and the time when seven days have elapsed from the starting point arrives, the electrolyzed water spraying device 100B drains the water in the water storage unit 14. At that time, when the time when the drought water 7 is detected arrives earlier, the electrolyzed water spraying device 100B calculates the energization amount of the electrical characteristics by integrating the electrical characteristic values from the starting point to the drought water 7. Further, when the time when seven days have elapsed from the starting point arrives earlier, the electrolyzed water spraying device 100B calculates the energization amount of the electrical characteristics by integrating the electrical characteristic values from the starting point to seven days.

[0113] Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 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.

[0114] FIG. 10 is a functional block diagram of the electrolyzed water spraying device 100B. The electrolyzed water spraying device 100B corresponds to a configuration combining FIGS. 4 and 8. Note that the input timing control unit 320B included in the control unit 30B is different from the input timing control unit 320 in Example 1 or the input timing control unit 320A in Example 2 in that it includes both the first threshold time comparison unit 322 and the water shortage count threshold comparison unit 324, but the other configurations and operations are substantially the same as those of the input timing control unit 320 in Example 1 or the input timing control unit 320A in Example 2. Also, the drainage control unit 330B included in the control unit 30B is different from the drainage control unit 330 in Example 1 or the drainage control unit 330A in Example 2 in that it includes both the second threshold time comparison unit 332 and the drainage count threshold comparison unit 334, but the other configurations and operations are substantially the same as those of the drainage control unit 330 in Example 1 or the drainage control unit 330A in Example 2.

[0115] (1) First operation The input timing control unit 320B determines the input timing at the earlier of the time when the energization time exceeds the first threshold in the first threshold time comparison unit 322 and the time when the count exceeds the water shortage count threshold in the water shortage count threshold comparison unit 324. Since the subsequent processing is the same as that in Example 1 or Example 2, the description is omitted here.

[0116] (2) Second operation The drainage control unit 330B determines the drainage timing at the earlier of the time when the energization time exceeds the second threshold in the second threshold time comparison unit 332 and the time when the count exceeds the drainage count threshold in the drainage count threshold comparison unit 334. Since the subsequent processing is the same as that in Example 1 or Example 2, the description is omitted here.

[0117] According to this embodiment, at the relatively earlier of the time when the energization time exceeds the first threshold and the time when the number of water shortage states exceeds the water shortage count threshold, the display unit 420 is instructed to display the determined input amount. Therefore, the electrolysis promoting tablets can be input at an appropriate time.

[0118] Also, at the relatively earlier time among the time when the energization time exceeds the first threshold value and the time when the number of water shortage states exceeds the water shortage count threshold value, the electrolysis accelerator input unit 18 is instructed to input the determined input amount of the electrolysis accelerator into the water storage unit 14. For this reason, the electrolysis accelerator tablets can be input at an appropriate time.

[0119] Also, at the relatively earlier time among the time when the energization time exceeds the second threshold value and the time when the number of water shortage states exceeds the drainage count threshold value, an indication to prompt drainage is given, and after the drainage treatment, an indication to display the input amount at the time of drainage is given to the display unit 420. For this reason, the electrolysis accelerator tablets can be input at an appropriate time.

For this reason, the electrolysis accelerator tablets can be input at an appropriate time.

[0121] The summary of one aspect of the present disclosure is as follows.

[0122] It may further include a water amount detection unit (220) that detects the water amount in the water storage unit (14), and a water shortage count measurement unit (222) that measures the number of times the water amount detected by the water amount detection unit (220) reaches a water shortage state where it is below the sixth threshold value (drought threshold value). The input timing control unit (320) may instruct the display unit (420) to display the determined input amount at the relatively earlier time among the time when the energization time to the electrode exceeds the seventh threshold value (the first threshold value) and the time when the number measured by the water shortage count measurement unit (222) exceeds the eighth threshold value (the water shortage count threshold value).

[0123] It may further include a water volume detection unit (220) for detecting the water volume in the water storage unit (14), and a water volume shortage count measurement unit (222) for measuring the number of times the water volume detected by the water volume detection unit (220) reaches a water volume shortage state where it is less than the sixth threshold value (drought threshold value). The energization timing control unit (320) is at the relatively earlier of the time when the energization time to the electrode exceeds the seventh threshold value (the first threshold value) and the time when the number of times measured by the water volume shortage count measurement unit (222) exceeds the eighth threshold value (the water volume shortage count threshold value), and may instruct the electrolysis accelerator injection unit (18) to inject the determined amount of electrolysis accelerator into the water storage unit (14).

[0124] It may further include a drainage display unit (422) for displaying to prompt the drainage of the water storage unit (14), a drainage injection storage unit (410) for storing the drainage injection amount, which is the amount of the electrolysis accelerator to be injected into the water storage unit (14) after the drainage treatment, and a drainage control unit (330) for controlling the drainage timing, which is the time to drain the water stored in the water storage unit (14). The drainage control unit (330) is at the relatively earlier of the time when the energization time to the electrode exceeds the ninth threshold value (the second threshold value) and the time when the number of times measured by the water volume shortage count measurement unit (222) exceeds the tenth threshold value (the drainage count threshold value), and may instruct the drainage display unit (422) to display a prompt for drainage, and after the drainage treatment, may instruct the display unit (420) to display the drainage injection amount stored in the drainage injection storage unit (410).

[0125] A drainage display unit (422) that displays to promote drainage of the water storage unit (14), a drainage input storage unit (410) that stores the drainage input amount, which is the amount of the electrolysis accelerator to be input into the water storage unit (14) after drainage treatment, and a drainage control unit (330) that controls the drainage timing, which is the timing to drain the water stored in the water storage unit (14), may be further provided. The drainage control unit (330) indicates to the drainage display unit (422) to display to promote drainage at a relatively earlier time among the time when the energization time to the electrode exceeds the ninth threshold value (the second threshold value) and the time when the number of times measured by the water volume shortage counting unit (222) exceeds the tenth threshold value (the drainage frequency threshold value). After the drainage treatment, the electrolysis accelerator input unit (18) may be instructed to input the electrolysis accelerator with the drainage input amount stored in the drainage input storage unit (410) into the water storage unit (14).

[0126] As described above, the present disclosure has been described based on Examples 1 to 3. These examples are illustrative, and it is understood by those skilled in the art that various modifications are possible for each of these constituent elements or combinations of each processing process, and such modifications are also within the scope of the present disclosure.

[0127] In Examples 1 to 3, the electrolysis promoting tablets are input. However, the present disclosure is not limited to this. For example, an electrolysis accelerator that is not a tablet may be input. According to this modification example, the degree of freedom of the configuration can be improved.

[0128] In Examples 1 to 3, the first threshold value is set to 3 days, the second threshold value is set to 7 days, the water volume shortage frequency threshold value is set to 3 times, and the drainage frequency threshold value is set to 7 times. However, the present disclosure is not limited to this. For example, if the first threshold value < the second threshold value and the water volume shortage frequency threshold value < the drainage frequency threshold value, these threshold values may be other values. According to this modification example, the degree of freedom of the configuration can be improved.

[0129] Further, in Examples 1 to 3, the electrolysis promoting tablet input unit 18 may further include an input detection unit (not shown) that detects the input of the electrolysis promoting agent by the electrolysis promoting agent input unit 18. The input detection unit may include a counting unit (not shown) that counts the number of detections of the input detection unit as the input amount of the electrolysis promoting agent. The counting unit may transmit the input amount of the electrolysis promoting agent, which is the number of detections of the input detection unit, to the input amount control unit 310.

[0130] 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 provided in a direction facing the light emitting element, receives the light output from the light emitting element, and is a photodiode that converts it into an electrical signal according to the intensity of the light. The light emitting element and the light receiving element are provided in the middle of the water storage unit 14 from the drop opening on the bottom surface of the tablet input case 18a, and are arranged in a pair so as to sandwich the passage path through which the electrolysis promoting tablet passes.

[0131] When the 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 has been input from the electrolysis promoting tablet input unit 18 based on the change in the intensity of the light received by the light receiving element.

[0132] The input amount control unit 310 compares the input amount of the electrolysis promoting agent counted by the counting unit with the input amount determined by the input amount control unit 310. When the input amount of the electrolysis promoting agent 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 promoting agent input unit 18 so that the input amount counted by the counting unit satisfies the input amount determined by the input amount control unit 310. That is, the input amount control unit 310 instructs the electrolysis promoting agent input unit 18 to input an electrolysis promoting agent corresponding to the difference between the input amount determined by the input amount control unit 310 and the input amount of the electrolysis promoting agent counted by the counting unit.

[0133] As a result, the input amount determined by the input amount control unit 310 can be input into the water storage unit 14.
