In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a washing pipe (3) is branched from a water supply pipe (5), and its tip end is arranged at the top of the container (1), where a large number of fountains ( 19) is provided facing the packed bed (2).

A typical example of the mineral activated mineral is boiled stone, but it is not limited.

Embodiment Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be specifically described with reference to the drawings.

Referring to FIG. 1, the forced circulation type mineral water producing device according to the present invention has a container (1) containing a packed bed (2) of mineral active minerals and a container (1) arranged outside the container (1) as basic components. From the water storage tank (4), a water pipe (5) having a pump (6) disposed below the packed bed (2) in the container (1), and a packed bed in the container (1) Water tank (4) outside the container (1) from above (2)
A reflux pipe (7) arranged to the washing pipe (3) arranged from the water supply pipe (5) to the top of the container (1)
And a heating coil (8) mounted on the bottom of the container (1).

The container (1) has a vertical cylindrical shape, and has a lid (10) for introducing minerals at the upper end. In the central part of the container (1), a receiving plate (9) for holding minerals composed of a perforated plate is provided in a slightly inclined shape, and the lid body (10) is opened and placed on the receiving plate (9). Mineral granules such as barley stone are added. A pressing plate (11), which is also a porous plate, is horizontally provided on the charged mineral particles. Thus, the mineral packing layer (2) is provided in the center of the container (1).

The side wall of the container (1) is provided with a mineral outlet (12) on the receiving plate (9), and the bottom wall of the container (1) is equipped with a drain pipe (1) for drainage.
3) is provided. The drainage pipe (13) extends to a wastewater treatment device (not shown) via a valve (14).

The water pipe (5) opens inside the side wall of the container (1) below the packed bed (2), has a valve (15) on the downstream side of the pump (6), and further has a pressure gauge on its downstream side. It has (16).

The reflux pipe (7) is arranged vertically in the center of the container (1) to form a packed bed.
It penetrates through (2), goes out through the bottom of the container (1), and the valve (1
It reaches the water tank (4) via 7).

The washing pipe (3) branches from the water feeding pipe (5) on the discharge side of the pump (6) of the water feeding pipe (5), and has a valve (18) near the branch base end. The tip of the container is located above the packed bed (2) in the container (1).
Horizontally extends inwardly from the side wall, and a large number of fountains (19) are provided in the horizontal extension in the direction of the packed bed (2).

The heating coil (8) is connected at its upstream end to a vapor source (not shown) via a regulating valve (20) and is connected at its downstream end to a vapor recovery device (not shown) via a valve (21). . The control valve (20) is controlled by a valve control device (23) which receives a temperature signal coming from a temperature detector (22) provided in the container (1) above the packed bed (2). Is done automatically by sending to the control valve (20).

In the forced circulation type mineral water producing device having the above-mentioned configuration, the water in the water tank (4) is pumped after filling the container (1) with barley stone.
It is introduced into the bottom of the container (1) via the water pipe (5) by (6). This water then passes upward through the packed bed (2) of bakuhanishi and exits above the bed (2). The water is then collected on the upper side of the packed bed (2) at the upper end of the reflux pipe (7) and returned to the water storage tank (4) via the pipe (7). In this way, water is circulated between the water tank (4) and the container (1) via the water supply pipe (5) and the reflux pipe (7), and repeatedly passes through the packed bed (2) of bakuhanishi. As a result, free chlorine in water, pollutants, organic substances, bacteria, odorous substances, etc. are efficiently adsorbed on barley stone, and minerals are efficiently eluted from barley stone, and a large amount of mineral water is continuously discharged in a short time. Manufactured.

As the water was circulated as described above and repeatedly passed through the packed bed (2), impurities in the water gradually adhered to the barley stone, and the packed bed was packed.
The water passage area in (2) decreases, and the pressure on the discharge side of the pump (6) in the water supply pipe (5) begins to increase. This means that the adsorption effect of barley stone is lowered.
Therefore, according to the display value of the pressure gauge (16) provided in the water supply pipe (5), close the valve (15) of the water supply pipe (5) and the valve (17) of the reflux pipe (7), respectively, and close the container (1). Stop introducing water into the interior. Then, the valve (20) and the valve (21) of the heating coil (8) are opened, and steam is continuously introduced into the heating coil (8). In this way, the water in the container (1) is kept heated until the water boiled the boiled stone. The time required for boiling is
The temperature detector (22) provided in the container (1) detects the boiling temperature, the valve controller (23) receives the temperature signal, and the device (23) adjusts the valve control signal (20). Controlled by automatically adjusting the valve (20). Thus, by boiling the barley stone, impurities are removed and the adsorption effect of barley stone is regenerated. After the heat treatment is completed, open the valve (14) of the drain pipe (13) and add the heated water to the container.
Discharge from (1).

Furthermore, in order to increase the degree of regeneration of the adsorption effect of boiled stone, open the valve (18) of the washing pipe (3) and introduce water into the top of the container (1), and then the fountain port of the pipe (3). Water is sprayed from (19) onto the packed bed (2) of barley stone to wash the barite stone. The washed water is discharged from the container (1) via the drain pipe (13) as in the above.

Effect of the Invention Since the forced circulation type mineral water producing device according to the present invention is configured as described above, the water supply pipe (5) and the return pipe (7) are provided between the water storage tank (4) and the container (1). By circulating it through the packed bed (2) of barley stone repeatedly, the free chlorine and pollutants in the water, organic substances, various bacteria, odorous substances, etc. are efficiently adsorbed to the barley stone, and It is possible to efficiently elute minerals and continuously produce a large amount of mineral water in a short time.

In addition, the mineral water producing device according to the present invention has a container (1)
Since it has a heating coil (8) at the bottom of the inside, by passing steam through the heating coil (8), it is possible to wash the mineral active mineral, which has poor adsorption effect, in the container (1) by boiling. it can. Therefore, as in the prior art described at the beginning of this document, once the mineral activated mineral having a poor adsorption effect is taken out of the container, washed by boiling in hot water to regenerate the adsorption effect, and then returned to the container and used again. It is possible to regenerate the effect of adsorbing the mineral active minerals without performing troublesome work. In addition, no working space is required for the removal of the mineral active minerals, and a great deal of effort and time is not required for the removal and recharging of the mineral active minerals. Thus, according to the device of the present invention, the production cost of mineral water can be greatly reduced.

Further, the valve control device (23) can detect the boiling temperature in the container and automatically control the control valve (20) accordingly.

Furthermore, by injecting water into the packed bed (7) through the washing pipe (3), the degree of regeneration of the packed bed (2) can be further enhanced.
