As shown in FIG. 1, in the air conditioner of the present embodiment, a substantially box-shaped main body case 1 is provided, and substantially rectangular intake ports 2 are provided on both side surfaces of the main body case 1. On the front surface of the main body case 1, an openable and closable door 3 is provided, and when the door 3 is opened, a part of the air purification unit 7 inside the main body case 1 described later can be taken out. On the top surface of the main body case 1, an openable and closable air outlet 4 is provided. 【0013】 As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, inside the main body case 1, a partition plate 5, a blower 6, an air purification unit 7, an air duct 8, and a control unit 9 are provided. 【0014】 The partition plate 5 is a plate provided at the center of the main body case 1, and together with the partition wall described later, separates the front side and the back side of the main body case 1. The back side becomes the air passage 8. 【0015】 The blower 6 blows air, that is, it sucks air into the main body case from the intake port 2 and blows out the sucked air from the blowout port 4. The blower 6 is provided at the center inside the main body case 1 and includes a motor part 10, a fan part 11 that rotates by the motor part 10, and a casing part 12 that surrounds them. 【0016】 The operation of the blower 6 in the present embodiment is determined by the operation part 1A provided in the main body case 1. As shown in FIGS. 1, 2, and 3, the operation part 1A is covered by an openable and closable cover 1B provided on the top surface of the main body case 1.

The motor part 10 is fixed to the casing part 12. The casing part 12 has a discharge port 14 on the upper surface side of the main body case 1 of the casing part 12 and a suction port 15 on the back side of the main body case 1 of the casing part 12. 【0018】 FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the air conditioner of Embodiment 1 with the water storage container arranged inside the main body case. FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing the internal structure with a part of the components of the air conditioner of Embodiment 1 removed. FIG. 6 is a perspective view of the water storage part of the air conditioner of Embodiment 1. 【0019】 As shown in Figures 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6, the air purification unit is a device that stores water from a water supply means in an electrolytic cell, adds electrolysis-promoting tablets to the water in the electrolytic cell using a tablet insertion mechanism, electrolyzes it to produce water containing hypochlorous acid, and then sprays the produced water containing hypochlorous acid from the outlet by bringing it into contact with air drawn into the main body case from the intake port using a blower. 【0020】 The air purification unit 7 comprises a water storage unit 16, an electrolysis unit 17, a water supply unit 18, an active oxygen species supply unit 19, and a water supply unit 20. 【0021】 The water storage unit 16 stores water and performs disinfection. The water storage unit 16 includes a water storage container 21, a water supply tank 60, and a gas-liquid contact means 23. 【0022】 Figure 7 is a plan view of the water reservoir of the air conditioning unit of Embodiment 1. Figure 8 is a plan view showing the internal structure of the water reservoir of the air conditioning unit of Embodiment 1 with some of its components removed. 【0023】 As shown in Figures 4, 6, 7, and 8, the water storage container 21 is located at the bottom of the main body case 1, has a box shape with an open top, and is structured to store water, and includes a partition wall 24, a water supply compartment 25, and a sterilization compartment 26. 【0024】 As shown in Figure 4, the partition wall 24 is a plate that separates the front side of the main body case 1 (outside the air passage 8) from the rear side of the main body case 1 (air passage 8) in the water storage container 21. It extends upward from the bottom surface of the water storage container 21, and its upper end is positioned above the upper end of the water storage container 21. 【0025】 As shown in Figures 6, 7, and 8, a portion of the upper end surface of the partition wall 24 is in contact with the wall surface of the partition plate 5, thereby separating the front side of the main case 1 (outside the air passage 8) from the rear side of the main case 1 (air passage 8) so that no air enters or leaves the other side. 【0026】 The water supply compartment 25 is roughly bowl-shaped and is a compartment for storing water supplied from the water supply tank 60. In the water storage container 21 located at the bottom of the main body case 1, it is positioned on the front side of the main body case 1, beyond the partition wall 24, and has a structure capable of holding the water supply tank 60. The bottom has a cylindrical projection 27 in a position to hold the water supply tank 60. 【0027】 The disinfection compartment 26 is roughly bowl-shaped and is a compartment for storing water containing hypochlorous acid at a predetermined concentration. It is provided so as to span the front and back sides of the partition wall 24 and is connected to the partition wall 24 by an opening (not shown) located below the water level. The disinfection compartment 26 has a first water level detection means 28 and a second water level detection means 29 for detecting the water level in the disinfection compartment 26. 【0028】 The first water level detection means 28 detects when the water level in the sterilization section 26 falls below the drought level, which is lower than the target water level. The target water level refers to the water level of the maximum water volume set for each component in the air purification operation of the air conditioner of the present invention. The drought level refers to the water level of the minimum water volume set for each component in the air purification operation of the air conditioner of the present invention. 【0029】 The first water volume detection means 28 is located on the back side of the partition wall 24 in the sterilization compartment 26 and consists of a first float portion 28a having buoyancy and a first detection sensor (not shown) that detects the position of the first float portion 28a. 【0030】 The first float portion 28a is located within the sterilization compartment 26, and the first detection sensor is embedded in the wall of the main body case 1 near the first float portion 28a. 【0031】 When the water level in the disinfection section 26 drops below the drought level, the first detection sensor can no longer detect the first float section 28a due to the resulting buoyancy of the first float section 28a. At this time, the first detection sensor sends a signal to the control unit 9 indicating that the water level in the disinfection section 26 has dropped below the drought level. 【0032】 The second water level detection means 29 detects when the water level in the disinfection section 26 reaches the target water level. The second water volume detection means 29 is located on the front side of the partition wall 24 in the sterilization compartment 26 and consists of a second float portion 29a having buoyancy and a second detection sensor (not shown) that detects the position of the second float portion 29a. 【0033】 The second float portion 29a is located within the sterilization compartment 26, and the second detection sensor is embedded in the wall of the main body case 1 near the second float portion 29a. 【0034】 The second detection sensor detects the second float portion 29a when the water level in the disinfection compartment 26 rises and reaches the target water level, causing the second float portion 29a to float. At this time, the second detection sensor sends a signal to the control unit 9 indicating that the water level in the disinfection compartment 26 has reached the target water level. 【0035】 Figure 9 is a perspective view of the water supply means of the air conditioning system according to Embodiment 1. 【0036】 As shown in Figures 2 and 9, the water supply tank 60 is installed in the water supply compartment 25 and has a structure that allows it to be attached to and detached from the water supply compartment 25, and automatically supplies water to maintain a constant water level in the water supply compartment 25. The water supply tank 60 has a hollow tank section 61 for storing water, and a first handle section 62 is provided on the top of the tank section 61. This first handle section 62 is integrated with the tank section 61, and the tank is attached to and detached from the water supply compartment 25 by holding the first handle section 62. 【0037】 When the tank section 61 is installed in the water supply compartment 25, it has a circular tank opening (not shown) in the center of its bottom surface. This tank opening is cylindrical in shape with its central axis extending vertically, and can be sealed by a removable water supply lid section 63 on the outer circumference of the tank opening. 【0038】 The water supply lid portion 63 has a cylindrical shape with its central axis extending vertically, and when attached to the water storage container 21, it has a cylindrical cap opening 63a at the center of the bottom surface that opens vertically, and the cap opening 63a is equipped with a tap 63b for opening and closing the lid opening. 【0039】 The faucet 63b comprises a cylindrical shaft (not shown), an on / off valve (not shown) provided on one side of the shaft to close the cap opening 63a, a coil-shaped spring (not shown) provided so as to pass the shaft through its center, and a spring stopper (not shown) provided on the other side of the shaft. 【0040】 When the tank section 61 is installed in the water supply section 25, the spring stopper comes into contact with the projection 27 of the water supply section 25, and this spring stopper moves upward while compressing the spring. Consequently, the on-off valve also moves upward, and as the on-off valve moves away from the cap opening 63a of the water supply lid section 63, water from the tank section 61 flows into the water supply section 25 through the cap opening 63a of the water supply lid section 63. Here, when the water supply section 25 is filled with water up to the lower end of the cap opening 63a, air can no longer enter the tank section 61 from the lower end of the cap opening 63a, so water from the tank section 61 does not flow into the water supply section 25. In other words, as the water level in the water supply section 25 decreases, the water level rises up to the lower end of the cap opening 63a, and since the water level is kept constant at the lower end of the cap opening 63a, a constant water level can always be maintained. 【0041】 As shown in Figures 6 and 7, the gas-liquid contact means 23 is located on the back side of the partition wall 24 in the sterilization compartment 26 and is a component that brings the water stored in the sterilization compartment 26 into contact with the indoor air drawn into the main body case 1 by the blower 6. The gas-liquid contact means 23 includes a filter 32, a filter frame 33, and a drive unit (not shown). 【0042】 The filter 32 has water-retaining properties, is cylindrical in shape, and has holes in its circumference that allow air to circulate. The filter 32 is mounted on the filter frame 33 such that one end of the filter 32 is immersed in the water in the sterilization compartment 26. 【0043】 The filter frame 33 is rotatably supported by a bearing (not shown) provided in the water storage container 21. The filter 32 and the filter frame 33 are structured to rotate together by a drive unit. 【0044】 Figure 10 is a perspective view of the electrolytic cell of the air conditioning system according to Embodiment 1. Figure 11 is a perspective view showing the internal structure of the electrolytic cell of the air conditioning system according to Embodiment 1 with some of its components removed. Figure 12 is a cross-sectional view of the electrolytic cell of the air conditioning system of Embodiment 1, viewed from the side. 【0045】 As shown in Figures 10, 11, and 12, the electrolytic unit 17 generates water containing hypochlorous acid by electrolyzing the water in the electrolytic cell 34. 【0046】 The electrolysis unit 17 comprises an electrolytic cell 34, a tablet feeding mechanism 35, and an electrolysis unit 36. 【0047】 The electrolytic cell 34 is located above the water storage container 21 and has a roughly box-like shape with an open top. The electrolytic cell 34 stores water transported from the water storage unit 16 by the water supply unit 18. The electrolytic cell 34 has a third water level detection means 37 and a fourth water level detection means 38 for detecting the water level in the electrolytic cell 34. 【0048】 The third water level detection means 37 detects when the water level in the electrolytic cell 34 rises above the drought level or falls below the drought level. The third water level detection means 37 consists of a third float portion 37a that has buoyancy and a third detection sensor (not shown) that detects the position of the third float portion 37a. 【0049】 The third float portion 37a is located in the electrolytic cell 34 and is embedded in the wall of the main body case 1 in the vicinity of the third float portion 37a. 【0050】 The third detection sensor detects the third float portion 37a when the water level in the electrolytic cell 34 rises from a level lower than the drought level and reaches the drought level, causing the third float portion 37a to float. At this time, the third detection sensor sends a signal to the control unit 9 indicating that the water level in the electrolytic cell 34 has risen to or above the drought level. 【0051】 Furthermore, when the water level in the electrolytic cell 34 drops below the drought level, the third detection sensor becomes unable to detect the third float portion 37a due to the resulting movement of the float portion 37a. At this time, the third detection sensor sends a signal to the control unit 9 indicating that the water level in the electrolytic cell 34 has fallen below the drought level. 【0052】 The fourth water level detection means 38 detects when the water level in the electrolytic cell 34 reaches a target level. The fourth water level detection means 38 consists of a fourth float portion 38a having buoyancy and a fourth detection sensor (not shown) that detects the position of the fourth float portion 38a. 【0053】 The fourth float portion 38a is located in the electrolytic cell 34 and is embedded in the wall of the main body case 1 near the fourth float portion 38a. 【0054】 The fourth detection sensor detects the fourth float portion 38a when the water level in the electrolytic cell 34 rises and reaches the target water level, due to the resulting movement of the fourth float portion 38a. At this time, the fourth detection sensor sends a signal to the control unit 9 indicating that the water level in the electrolytic cell 34 has reached the target water level. 【0055】 Figure 13 is a perspective view of the tablet dispensing mechanism of the air conditioner according to Embodiment 1. Figure 14 is a perspective view showing the inside of the tablet dispensing case of the tablet dispensing mechanism of the air conditioner according to Embodiment 1. 【0056】 As shown in Figures 13 and 14, the tablet loading mechanism 35 is installed above the electrolytic cell 34 and comprises a tablet loading case 39, a tablet loading member 40 provided inside the tablet loading case 39, and a tablet loading cover 41 detachably mounted on the top of the tablet loading case 39. When the tablet loading cover 41 is removed from the tablet loading case 39 and an electrolytic accelerating tablet 42 is placed inside the tablet loading case 39, the tablet loading member 40 rotates, and the electrolytic accelerating tablet 42 automatically falls into the electrolytic cell 34 through the opening 39a at the bottom of the tablet loading case 39. For example, sodium chloride can be used as the electrolytic accelerating tablet 42. 【0057】 The electrolytic unit 36 ​​immerses a first electrode (not shown) and a second electrode (not shown) in the water of the electrolytic cell 34, applies a voltage to these first and second electrodes, and electrochemically treats the water in the electrolytic cell 34 containing the electrolysis-promoting tablets 42 (described later) which are introduced by the tablet dispensing mechanism 35, thereby generating hypochlorous acid. An example of an electrolysis-promoting solvent is sodium chloride, and the electrolytic unit 36 ​​electrochemically decomposes an aqueous solution of sodium chloride to generate electrolyzed water containing reactive oxygen species (hypochlorous acid in this embodiment as an example). 【0058】 Here, reactive oxygen species refer to oxygen molecules with higher oxidative activity than ordinary oxygen, and related substances. For example, reactive oxygen species include not only so-called reactive oxygen species in the narrow sense, such as superoxide anions, singlet oxygen, hydroxyl radicals, or hydrogen peroxide, but also so-called reactive oxygen species in the broad sense, such as ozone and hypochlorous acid (hypohalous acid). In this embodiment, the production of electrolyzed water containing reactive oxygen species (in this case, hypochlorous acid) may be expressed as generating reactive oxygen species (in this case, hypochlorous acid). 【0059】 As shown in Figures 4, 5, and 6, the water supply unit 18 transports water from the water storage unit 16 to the electrolysis unit 17. The water supply unit 18 includes a water supply pump 43 that is immersed in the water of the water supply compartment 25, and a water supply channel 44 connected to the water supply pump 43. 【0060】 The water supply pump 43 is a pump-type pump that moves the water supplied from the water tank 60 to the water supply section 25 to the water supply channel 44 and then transports it to the electrolytic cell 34. 【0061】 The water supply channel 44 is a cylindrical pipe with openings at both ends. One end is connected to the water supply pump 43, and the other end is located above the top surface of the electrolytic cell 34. 【0062】 As shown in Figures 4, 5, 11, and 12, the reactive oxygen species supply unit 19 transports water from the electrolytic cell 34 to the water storage unit 16. The reactive oxygen species supply unit 19 includes a reactive oxygen species communication unit 19a and a reactive oxygen species pump unit 19b. vinegar ru. 【0063】 The reactive oxygen species communication section 19a is a flow path that communicates the electrolytic cell 34 with the sterilization section 26, and the reactive oxygen species pump unit 19b is a mechanism that supplies water from the electrolytic cell 34 to the reactive oxygen species communication section 19a. 【0064】 As shown in Figures 6 and 7, the water supply unit 20 transports water from the water supply section 25 to the sterilization section 26. The water supply unit 20 consists of a water supply pump 51 that is immersed in the water of the water supply section 25, and a water supply channel 52 connected to the water supply pump 51. 【0065】 The water supply pump 51 is a pump-type pump that moves the water supplied from the water tank 60 to the water supply section 25 to the water supply channel 52 and then transports it to the disinfection section 26. 【0066】 The water supply channel 52 is a cylindrical pipe with openings at both ends. One end is connected to the water supply pump 51, and the other end is located directly above the water surface on the front side of the partition wall 24 of the disinfection compartment 26. 【0067】 In other words, the main case 1 has a water supply unit 20 that transports water from the water supply section 25 to the sterilization section 26. 【0068】 This makes it possible to mix the water containing hypochlorous acid transported from the electrolytic cell 34 with the water in the water supply section 25 in any desired ratio, and to adjust the concentration of hypochlorous acid in the disinfection section 26 to a predetermined concentration. 【0069】 As shown in Figure 3, the air passage 8 connects the intake port 2 and the outlet port 4, and the air passage 8 is equipped with a gas-liquid contact means 23, a blower 6, and an outlet port 4 in that order from the intake port 2. When the fan unit 11 is rotated by the motor unit 10, the outside air that enters the air passage 8 from the intake port 2 is blown out in that order via the gas-liquid contact means 23, the blower 6, and the outlet port 4. 【0070】 The control unit 9 is located inside the main body case 1 and receives signals from the first water volume detection means 28, the second water volume detection means 29, the third water volume detection means 37, the fourth water volume detection means 38, and the operation unit 1A. It controls the operation of the electrolysis unit 36, the water supply unit 18, the active oxygen species supply unit 19, the water supply unit 20, and the tablet dispensing mechanism 35, adjusting the concentration and volume of the hypochlorous acid-containing water in the disinfection compartment 26. Furthermore, the control unit 9 can estimate the amount of hypochlorous acid consumed and the amount of water volume decrease in the hypochlorous acid-containing water in the disinfection compartment 26 from the signal indicating the airflow of the blower 6 transmitted from the operation unit 1A. 【0071】 An example of adjusting the concentration and volume of hypochlorous acid-containing water in the disinfection section 26 of the apparatus with the above configuration is shown. 【0072】 When the control unit 9 detects that the water level in the electrolytic cell 34 has fallen below the drought level using the third water level detection means 37, it operates the water supply pump 43, and the transport of water from the water supply section 25 to the electrolytic cell 34 via the water supply channel 44 begins. Next, when the control unit 9 detects that the water level has risen to the drought level using the third water level detection means 37, it operates the tablet dispensing mechanism 35 to dispense the electrolysis-promoting tablets 42 into the electrolytic cell 34. Next, when the water level in the electrolytic cell 34 rises further and the control unit 9 detects that the water level has risen to the target level using the fourth water level detection means 38, it stops the operation of the water supply pump 43. Next, the control unit 9 starts the operation of the electrolysis unit 36 ​​and stops it after a predetermined time has elapsed. As a result, water containing hypochlorous acid at a certain concentration is produced and retained in the electrolytic cell 34. 【0073】 When the control unit 9 estimates that a predetermined amount of hypochlorous acid has been consumed in the disinfection compartment 26 based on a signal indicating the airflow rate of the blower 6 sent from the operation unit 1A, it activates the reactive oxygen species pump 45, and the transport of water containing hypochlorous acid from the electrolytic cell 34 to the supply tank 47 via the reactive oxygen species pre-transport channel 46 begins. After a predetermined time has elapsed, the control unit 9 stops the operation of the reactive oxygen species pump 45. The water containing hypochlorous acid transported to the supply tank 47 gradually moves to the reactive oxygen species post-transport channel 48 through the drop opening 50, and is then transported to the disinfection compartment 26 via the reactive oxygen species post-transport channel 48. 【0074】 When the control unit 9 estimates that the amount of water in the disinfection section 26 has decreased by a predetermined amount based on a signal indicating the airflow rate of the blower 6 sent from the operation unit 1A, it operates the water supply pump 51 and starts transporting water from the water supply section 25 to the disinfection section 26. When the second water level detection means 29 detects that the water level has risen to the target water level, the control unit 9 stops the operation of the water supply pump 51. The concentration of hypochlorous acid in the disinfection section 26 is adjusted to a predetermined concentration by mixing the water containing hypochlorous acid transported from the active oxygen species supply unit 19 with the water transported from the water supply unit 20. 【0075】 These controls ensure that the disinfection section 26 maintains a predetermined amount of water and a predetermined concentration of hypochlorous acid. This allows for the provision of an air conditioning system that provides stable disinfection performance. 【0076】 A key feature of this embodiment is the shape of the water supply tank 60. As shown in Figures 15 and 16, the water supply tank 60 has a tank section 61, a water supply lid section 63, a first handle section 62, and two second side handle sections 64. 【0077】 The tank section 61 is a roughly box-shaped structure that is short in depth and elongated horizontally, and is designed to store water inside. When attached to the water storage container 21, it has a tank opening at the bottom. A removable water supply lid section 63 is provided at the tank opening. 【0078】 The water supply cover 63 supplies water from the tank section 61 to the water storage container 21 when a valve mechanism provided in the water supply cover 63 opens. 【0079】 The first handle portion 62 is provided on the upper surface of the tank portion 61 when it is attached to the water storage container 21 as shown in Figure 2. The upper surface of the tank portion 61 has a recessed portion 61a in the center that is recessed toward the bottom surface (surface E having the tank opening), and above the recessed portion 61a is a cylindrical first handle portion 62 that extends in the longitudinal direction of the tank portion 61. Below the first handle portion 62 is a through hole 61b. When the water supply tank 60 is attached to the water storage container 21, the first handle portion 62 can be gripped from above through the through hole 61b. 【0080】 When the door of the main case 1 is opened, the water supply tank 60 is attached to the water storage container 21, and the water supply tank 60 is visible in the orientation shown in Figure 16. With the water supply tank 60 attached to the water storage container 21, the front of the tank section 61 (the other long side B) is visible, while the back of the tank section 61 (the other long side C) is not visible as it faces the partition plate 5 of the main case 1. The bottom surface of the tank section 61 (the surface E with the tank opening) is immersed in the water in the water storage container 21. The left and right sides (short sides D) of the tank section 61 each face the inner surfaces of the left and right sides of the main case 1. There is space above the top surface of the tank section 61 (the surface A with the first handle). 【0081】 The second one-sided handle portion 64 is an inwardly recessed shape in the tank portion 61. When the tank portion 61 is attached to the water storage container 21, the second one-sided handle portion 64 is provided on the one long side side C, which is one side of the long side of the upper surface of the tank portion 61, near the surface E having the tank opening, and near each of the short side sides D, which are the short side of the upper surface of the tank portion 61. In other words, when the tank portion 61 is attached to the water storage container 21, the second one-sided handle portion 64 is provided on the back surface (one long side side C) of the tank portion 61, near the bottom surface (surface having the tank opening), and near each of the left and right sides (short side sides D) of the tank portion 61. In short, the water supply tank 60 is provided with two second one-sided handle portions 64. Furthermore, when the first handle portion 62 of the tank is grasped and the water supply tank 60 is lifted, the second one-sided handle portion 64 and the front (the other long side B) can be grasped from below. In addition, the water supply tank 60, when attached to the water storage container, is structured to be self-supporting on all surfaces except the bottom surface (the surface E with the tank opening), the back surface (the one long side C), and the front surface of the tank portion 61 (the other long side B, which is the other side of the long side on the top surface). In other words, the tank, when attached to the water storage container, is structured to be self-supporting on the top surface (the surface A with the first handle portion) and on each of the left and right sides (short side D). 【0082】 Thus, because the second handle portion 64 on one side has an inwardly recessed shape, it has the effect of suppressing the reduction in tank capacity compared to the first handle portion 62. 【0083】 Furthermore, when the water tank 60 cannot be rotated when placed in the sink for water supply, grasping the second handle portion 64 on one side makes it easier to pull it out of the sink. 【0084】 Furthermore, the second side handle portion 64 has a horizontally elongated shape when the water supply tank 60 is attached to the water storage container. 【0085】 As a result, when the water supply tank 60 is placed in the sink with the side E having the tank opening facing upwards for water supply, if the water supply tank 60 cannot be rotated, when simultaneously grasping the second one-sided handle portion 64 and the front (the other long side B), the index finger, middle finger, ring finger, and little finger can be placed in the recess of the second one-sided handle portion 64, making it easier to pull out from the sink. 【0086】 Furthermore, the water supply tank 60 has two second other-side handle portions 65. The second other-side handle portions 65 are recessed inward in the tank portion 61. When the water supply tank 60 is attached to the water storage container 21, the second other-side handle portions 65 are provided on the other long side side B, which is the long side side of the upper surface of the tank portion 61, near the surface E where the tank opening is located on the tank portion 61, and near each of the short side sides D, which are the short side sides of the upper surface of the tank portion 61. In other words, when the water supply tank 60 is attached to the water storage container 21, the second other-side handle portions 65 are provided on the front surface (other long side side B) of the tank portion 61, near the bottom surface of the tank (surface E where the tank opening is located), and near each of the left and right sides (short side sides D) of the tank portion 61. In other words, the water tank 60 is provided with two second other-side handles 65, and when the water tank 60 is lifted by grasping the first handle 62, the second one-side handle 64 and the second other-side handle 65 can be grasped from below. 【0087】 As a result, when the water supply tank 60 is placed in the sink with the side E having the tank opening facing upwards for water supply, if the water supply tank 60 cannot be rotated, it becomes easier to pull it out of the sink by simultaneously grasping the second one-sided handle portion 64 and the second other-sided handle portion 65. 【0088】 Furthermore, the second other-side handle portion 65 has a horizontally elongated shape when the water supply tank 60 is attached to the water storage container. 【0089】 As a result, when the water supply tank 60 is placed in the sink with the side E having the tank opening facing upwards for water supply, if the water supply tank 60 cannot be rotated, the thumb can be placed in the recess on the front side and the remaining fingers in the recess on the back side when simultaneously grasping the second one-sided handle 64 and the second other-sided handle 65, making it easier to pull out from the sink. 【0090】 In Figure 15, the water supply tank 60 has two third-side handle portions 66. The third-side handle portions 66 are recessed inwards in the tank portion 61. When the water supply tank 60 is attached to a water storage container, the third-side handle portions 66 are located on the back of the tank portion (one long side C), closer to the upper surface (surface A with the first handle portion) than the second-side handle portion 64, and closer to the left and right sides (short side D) of each side. In other words, the water supply tank 60 is provided with two third-side handle portions 66, and when the water supply tank 60 is lifted by grasping the first handle portion 62, the two third-side handle portions 66 and the front surface (the other long side B) can be grasped from the side. 【0091】 This allows the water supply tank 60 to be placed in the sink with the side E having the tank opening facing upwards for water supply, and then, when the water supply tank 60 is rotated 90 degrees and the user wants to grasp the first handle portion 62, the third side handle portion 66 can be grasped from the side and rotated. This allows the user to grasp the first handle portion 62 and pull the tank out of the sink. 【0092】 Furthermore, having two third-side handles 66 allows the customer to rotate the water tank 60 90 degrees to grab the first handle when placing a sink to fill with water, enabling them to rotate it in the direction that is most convenient for them, whether clockwise or counterclockwise. 【0093】 Furthermore, the third side handle portion 66 is elongated vertically when the water supply tank 60 is attached to the water storage container. This makes it easier to place the water supply tank 60 on the sink with the side E having the tank opening facing upwards for water supply, and to grasp the third side handle portion 66 from the side in order to rotate the water supply tank 60 90 degrees, as it allows four fingertips to easily enter the third side handle portion 66 and provides a comfortable grip.
