Referring to fig. 2, a foot bath having sterilizing water generating function using metal ions according to another embodiment of the present invention will be described.

Fig. 2 is a schematic view conceptually showing a foot bath having sterilizing water generating function using metal ions in another example of the present invention.

As shown in the drawings, the foot bath device having the function of sterilizing water using metal ions in the present embodiment includes a foot bath tub 15, a metal ion sterilizing water generating module 25, a water pump 35, and a control circuit part 45, which is the same as the foot bath device having the function of sterilizing water using metal ions in the example of fig. 1, but the circulation manner of supplying water to the foot bath tub 35 after the water for foot bath is converted into sterilizing water by the metal ion sterilizing water generating module 25 is different.

That is, the water for foot bath is supplied to the metal ion sterilized water generating module 25 through the water pump 35, and the sterilized water generated by the metal ion sterilized water generating module 25 is supplied to the foot tub 15, which is performed under the pumping pressure of the metal ion sterilized water generating module 25 of the water pump 35.

The operation of the foot bath device in the present example is the same as the operation of the foot bath device described in detail with reference to fig. 1, and the detailed description thereof is omitted in the present example.

The metal ion sterilizing water generating module in the foot bath having the sterilizing water function using metal ions in the example of the present invention will be described with reference to fig. 3 or 6.

Fig. 3 is a perspective view of a metal ion sterilized water generating module of the foot bath device having a function of sterilizing water using metal ions in the example of fig. 1 and 2; fig. 4 is a perspective view showing a state where a metal ion sterilized water generating module is separated in the large capacity manufacturing apparatus of sterilized water using metal ions in the example of fig. 3; fig. 5 is a perspective view showing a separated state of a metal ion sterilized water generating module from another angle in the large capacity manufacturing apparatus of sterilized water using metal ions in the example of fig. 3; next, fig. 6(a) and 6(b) are sectional views showing the state where the metal ion sterilizing water generating modules are combined in the large-capacity manufacturing apparatus for sterilizing water using metal ions in the example of fig. 3.

In this example, the metal ion sterilized water producing module shown in fig. 1 is used as an example, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and is also applicable to the metal ion sterilized water producing module shown in fig. 2.

As shown in the figure, the metal ion sterilized water generating module 20 includes a sterilized water generating tank 21, a first ionizing auxiliary material 22 and a second ionizing auxiliary material 23. In addition, the metal ion sterilized water generating module 20 may further include an end cap 24.

The internal space of the sterilizing water producing tank 21 is divided into an upper space 21b and a lower space 21c by a partition 21a, and the partition 21a is formed so as to communicate the upper space 21b and the lower space 21c of the sterilizing water producing tank 21. The sterilizing water generating tank 21 further includes a water inlet pipe 21d for communicating the lower space 21b with the water pump 30, and a water outlet pipe 21e for communicating the upper space 21b with the foot tub 10.

Thus, the water for foot bath supplied through the water inlet pipe 21d by the water pump 30 fills the lower space 21c, flows into the upper space 21b through the region communicating with the upper space 21b, reaches the height of the water outlet pipe 21e after the upper space 21b is filled, and is discharged into the foot tub 10 through the water outlet pipe 21e, which is a flowing process of the water. That is, according to the structure of the sterilizing water generating tank 21 and the flow pattern of water, the water for foot bath flowing in from the water inlet pipe 21d passes through the lower space 21b of the sterilizing water generating tank 21, is converted into sterilizing water having a sterilizing function by the first and second auxiliary ionizing materials 22 and 23, flows into the upper space 21b of the sterilizing water generating tank 21, and is discharged to the foot tub 10 through the water outlet pipe 21e, thereby completing the sequential discharge.

In this example, the extension end of the partition 21a is spaced apart from the inner surface of the sterilizing water producing tank 21 in the extension direction, and the upper space 21b and the lower space 21c of the sterilizing water producing tank 21 are formed to communicate with each other between the extension end of the partition 21a and the inner surface of the sterilizing water producing tank 21 in the extension direction. However, the present invention is not limited to this form, and the partition 21a may be formed in various shapes to separate the upper space 21b from the lower space 21c when the inner space of the sterilizing water producing tank 21 is ensured to communicate with each other.

The inlet pipe 21d and the outlet pipe 21e of the sterilizing water producing tank 21 are located on the same plane as the sterilizing water producing tank 21. Thus, the water for bathing flowing in through the water inlet pipe 21d fills the lower space 21c of the sterilizing water producing tank 21, and then flows through the communicating area on the other side of the water inlet pipe 21d, flows into the upper space 21b of the sterilizing water producing tank 21, rises in water level along the upper space 21b, and is discharged to the foot tub 10 through the water outlet pipe 21e, thereby completing the entire flow.

The first ionization auxiliary material 22 is installed in the lower space 21c of the sterilizing water generating tank 21, and polarity switching of the positive electrode and the negative electrode of this first ionization auxiliary material 22 is performed in a repeated energization manner for a set time, and a function of releasing metal ions is performed as a result of energization.

A second ionization auxiliary material 23 is installed in the lower space 21c of the sterilizing water generating tank 21, and polarity switching of the positive electrode and the negative electrode of this second ionization auxiliary material 23 is performed in a repeated energization manner for a set time, opposite to the polarity applied to the first ionization auxiliary material 22, to function to release metal ions with energization.

That is, the first and second auxiliary ionizing materials 22 and 23 are installed in the lower space 21c of the sterilizing water producing tank 21, and at this time, as described above, the foot bath water supplied to the water inlet pipe 21d of the sterilizing water producing tank 21 must first fill the lower space 21c and then flow into the upper space 21b by the function of the connection region between the partition 21a and the partition 21a communicating the lower space 21c and the upper space 21b, and the foot bath water flowing in through the water inlet pipe 21d must be converted into sterilizing water having a sterilizing function by passing through the region between the first and second auxiliary ionizing materials 22 and 23 and then flow into the upper space 21b of the sterilizing water producing tank 21.

In other words, the foot bath water supplied to the inlet pipe 21d of the sterilizing water generating tank 21 passes through the connection region of the partition 21a and the partition 21a communicating the lower space 21c and the upper space 21b, passes through the partition 21a and the connection region of the partition 21a communicating the lower space 21c and the upper space 21b, is converted into sterilizing water having a sterilizing function by passing through the first and second ionizing auxiliaries 22 and 23 from the lower space 21c of the sterilizing water generating tank 21, flows into the upper space 21c of the sterilizing water generating tank 21, and is discharged into the foot bath 10 through the outlet pipe 21 e.

In order to improve the efficiency of converting the water for foot bath into the sterilizing water having the sterilizing function, the first and second auxiliary ionizing materials 22 and 23 are preferably designed to face each other in the lower space of the sterilizing water generating tank 21.

Next, specific configurations and functions of the first and second ionization aids 23 that convert the foot bath water into the sterilizing water having the sterilizing function by the metal ions will be described in detail.

The first ionization auxiliary material 22 is formed of one or an alloy of two or more of silver, a silver alloy, gold, a gold alloy, copper, and a copper alloy. In this example, the first auxiliary ionizing material 22 is a plate, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

The second ionization auxiliary material 23 is formed of one or an alloy of two or more of silver, a silver alloy, gold, a gold alloy, copper, and a copper alloy. In this example, the second auxiliary ionizing material 23 is a plate, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

Thus, the first auxiliary ionizing material 22 becomes a positive electrode, the second auxiliary ionizing material 23 becomes a negative electrode, and metal ions are released from the first auxiliary ionizing material 22, so that the metal ions released from the first auxiliary ionizing material 22 are mixed with the water for foot bath flowing between the first auxiliary ionizing material 22 and the second auxiliary ionizing material 23 in the lower space 21c of the sterilizing water generating tank, and the water for foot bath is converted into sterilizing water having a sterilizing function.

When the polarities of the electrodes of the first and second auxiliary ionizing materials 22 and 22 are changed, the second auxiliary ionizing material 23 becomes a positive electrode and the first auxiliary ionizing material 22 becomes a negative electrode, and metal ions are released from the second auxiliary ionizing material 23, so that the metal ions released from the second auxiliary ionizing material 23 are mixed with the water for foot bath flowing between the second auxiliary ionizing material 23 and the first auxiliary ionizing material 22 in the lower space 21c of the sterilized water producing tank 21, and the water for foot bath is converted into sterilized water having a sterilizing function.

In this example, it should be noted that the plate-shaped first and second auxiliary ionizing materials 22 and 23 are fixed to both inner side surfaces of the lower space 21c forming the sterilizing water generating tank 21 and arranged in a face-to-face state, and the first and second auxiliary ionizing materials 22 and 23 are arranged in a lateral direction from the water inlet pipe 21d of the sterilizing water generating tank 21 to the middle portion of the lower space 21c in the direction of the region connecting the upper space 21b and the lower space 21c of the partition 21 a. Thus, the foot bath water supplied to the lower space 21c through the water inlet pipe 21d of the sterilizing water generating tank 21 must flow through the region between the first and second auxiliary ionizing materials 22 and 23 arranged in the lower space 21c in a long manner, and the first and second auxiliary ionizing materials 22 and 23 are mixed with the metal ions released from the first or second auxiliary ionizing materials 22 and 23 while being in electrical contact with each other, and are converted into sterilizing water, which then flows into the upper space 21b of the sterilizing water generating tank 21.

In addition, the first and second ionization auxiliary materials 22 and 23 have a plurality of slide coupling protrusions 22a and 23a formed at the upper and lower ends thereof in the longitudinal direction.

In the sterilizing water generating tank 21, protrusion sliding grooves 21f are formed on both right and left sides of the lower space 21c so that the sliding coupling protrusion 22a of the first auxiliary ionizing material 22 or the sliding coupling protrusion 23a of the second auxiliary ionizing material 23 forms a sliding coupling, and communicate with the lower space 21 c.

Thus, the first and second auxiliary ionizing materials 22 and 23 are slidably coupled to the projection slide groove 21f of the sterilizing water production tank 21 by the upper and lower slide coupling projections 22a and 23a, and are slidably coupled to the lower space 21c of the sterilizing water production tank 21.

The end cap 24 has a first contact terminal 24a and a second contact terminal 24b, and is coupled to the sterilizing water generating tank 21 to electrically contact the first ionizing auxiliary material 22 or the second ionizing auxiliary material 23 and to ensure water tightness of the upper space 21b and the lower space 21c of the sterilizing water generating tank 21.

Here, in order to firmly fix the end cap 24 to the sterilizing water producing tank 21 and enhance the watertight function, a watertight connecting protrusion 24c is formed so as to surround one end in the longitudinal direction of the lower space 21c and the upper space 21b of the sterilizing water producing tank 21, and one end of the lower space 21c and the upper space 21b is surrounded by a watertight coupling groove 21g corresponding to the watertight connecting protrusion 24c of the end cap 24.

On the other hand, in the present example, the power supply of the first and second auxiliary ionizing materials 22 and 23 is performed through the first and second contact terminals 24a and 24b of the end cap 24, but as another form, a form in which the power supply is performed through the medium of the sliding engagement protrusions 22a and 23a of the first and second auxiliary ionizing materials 22 and 23 is also possible.

As shown in fig. 7, fig. 7 is a perspective view showing another example of supplying power to the metal ion sterilized water generating module in the large-capacity manufacturing apparatus for sterilized water using metal ions in the example of fig. 3.

As shown, the sliding engagement protrusions 122a,123a of the first and second auxiliary materials 122, 123 are located on the upper or lower surface of the first or second auxiliary material 122, 123, respectively, and have a width smaller than a thickness. The sliding engagement protrusions 122a,123a of the first ionization auxiliary material 122 and the second ionization auxiliary material 123 form contact protrusions for the ionization auxiliary materials, respectively.

Thus, the projection slide groove 121f of the sterilizing water generation tank 121 is slidably engaged with the slide engagement projections 122a,123a of the first auxiliary ionizing material 122 or the second auxiliary ionizing material 123, and the lower space 121c of the sterilizing water generation tank 121 is blocked.

Thus, the sliding coupling protrusions 122a,123a of the first and second auxiliary ionizing materials 122, 123 are separated from the lower space 121c of the sterilizing water generating tank 121 while contacting the electrodes in the protrusion sliding grooves 121f of the sterilizing water generating tank 121, and when the first or second auxiliary ionizing materials 122, 123 release metal ions, the sliding coupling protrusions 122a,123a do not release metal ions at the same time, and the abrasion phenomenon is remarkably reduced.

In addition, an electrode insertion hole 121h communicating with the projection sliding groove 121f in the sterilizing water generating tank 121 is formed along the extension direction of the projection sliding groove 121 f.

In addition, the electrode rods 125 and 126 are inserted into the electrode insertion holes 121h of the sterilizing water generating tank 121, and thus the electrode rods 125 and 126 inserted into the electrode insertion holes 121h of the sterilizing water generating tank 121 are held in contact with the sliding engagement projections 122a and 123a of the first and second ionizing auxiliary materials 122 and 123 engaged with the projection sliding grooves 121f of the sterilizing water generating tank 121.

Thus, the electrode rods 125,126 are energized, that is, the electrical energization is equivalent to the electrical energization to the respective slide coupling protrusions 122a,123a of the first and second ionization auxiliary materials 122, 123.

Here, the energization of the electrode rods 125,126, as shown in the example of fig. 3 or 6, may be realized by the first contact terminal 24a and the second contact terminal 24b of the end cap 24, and may be realized in other various forms.

Referring back to fig. 7, the electrode rods 125 and 126 are repeatedly energized for a predetermined time to achieve polarity reversal between the positive electrode and the negative electrode, and thus the first auxiliary ionizing material 122 or the second auxiliary ionizing material 123 is repeatedly energized for a predetermined time to achieve polarity reversal between the positive electrode and the negative electrode.

The electrode rods 125,126 include first and second electrode rods 125a,125b,126a,126b inserted into the protrusion sliding grooves 121f of the sterilizing water generating tank 121, respectively, and connection rods 125c,126c connected to one end of the first and second electrode rods 125a,125b,126a,126b in the longitudinal direction.

Accordingly, among the electrode rods 125,126, the first and second electrode rods 125a,125b,126a,126b and the connecting rods 125c,126c are simultaneously slidably inserted into the relevant regions of the electrode insertion hole 121h, and the first and second electrode rods 125a,125b,126a,126b are brought into contact with the upper and lower sliding coupling protrusions 122a,123a of the first and second ionization aids 130, 123.

According to this structure, the first and second auxiliary ionizing materials 122 and 123 have a plurality of sliding coupling protrusions 122a and 123a for providing a current-carrying function, so that the first and second auxiliary ionizing materials 122 and 123 can be stably brought into contact with each other, and the sliding coupling protrusions 122a and 123a are brought into mechanical and electrical contact with the electrode rods 125 and 126, respectively, so that a high-efficiency contact structure similar to one touch is used.
